lyrics:
Wings on a Wagon
----------------
We've spoken twice
and roll the dice
i said i'm leaving this town for a day or two
I packed my bags
i'm on a railway track
i'm gonna see you again my love really soon
We're sailing into the unknown, before the sun comes up
Why we've become so distant? i see wings on a wagon
Why there's no line to reach you, we are flying on flamed wings of a dragon
there's only youth around me, only young angels beside me
i said don't worry about me, i see wings on a wagon
the end is near, i felt no fear
i had no time to think about
i saw the flames, i heard some names
and then connection lost for eternity
and i will call and i won't fall, get some rest and sleep well    
and i'll be there and i'll take care, don't worry mom i won't be late...

lyrics:
butterfingers
---------------

I heard this story a long time ago
i heard it before, and now i am long gone

I faced my demons and now i'm back strong
not headstrong, at some point i was wrong

butterfingers, we lost control
we slipped away and run away

i cross my fingers, we won't mess it up 
again this time, i hope you'll be fine

you were so sloppy and gave it up
i hope you remember, that i was your crutch

next thing you know, was to lose control
and now you crawl, to save your soul

lyrics:
Another day goes by
another war inside my head

another trace of fear
but i never won't give in

Another night passed by
another midnight washed my sins

but i will face the day
no i never won't look grim


You said go and face your demons
don't let another day get wasted!

Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh
Death is the enemy, Death is the enemy oHhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh


Another year goes by
another book of memories 

and time doesn't wait
doesn't wait for no one

and don't you look away
you have to stand on your own feet

no matter what will come
you have to get your shit together


fight the good fight
fight the good fight

Death is the enemy

🌆 Step into the neon-lit abyss of a dystopian dreamscape, where the boundaries of reality and illusion blur into an electrifying symphony. Unveiling my cyberpunk-inspired album, "Nothing Is Real," I invite you to embark on a mind-bending journey that will challenge your perceptions, shatter your preconceptions, and plunge you into a world where the very concept of reality is a mere illusion.

🎶 "Nothing Is Real" pulses with an otherworldly energy, seamlessly blending the beats of the streets with the ethereal harmonies of a digital age. The album's sonic landscape is a thrilling fusion of 80's retrowave, and cybernetic synthwave that oscillate between the human and the machine, blurring the line between the organic and the artificial.

🔮 As the metropolis throbs with a life of its own, you'll navigate its labyrinthine streets, where neon signs flicker cryptic messages, and virtual reality spills into everyday existence. Each track on this album is a chapter in a cyberpunk saga, inviting you to question the very nature of existence. Is it real, or is it a construct of your mind? From the eerie hum of futuristic cityscapes to the introspective ballads of rogue AI seeking transcendence, "Nothing Is Real" explores themes of identity, technology, and the ever-elusive quest for truth in a world where reality is merely a canvas for interpretation.

🌌 Brace yourself for a visceral, sensory experience that immerses you in a world where the only constant is the unpredictable. In the cold embrace of cyberpunk, every note resonates with the melancholic beauty of a digital age's decay. Every track is a whispered secret from the hidden corners of a metropolis that breathes in binary code. This is not just an album; it's an odyssey through the uncharted territories of consciousness.

🚀 Join us on this futuristic voyage, where the line between humanity and technology blurs, and "Nothing Is Real" but the echoes of a society on the brink. Will you dare to venture into the abyss, where your perceptions are challenged, your mind is expanded, and the truth is but a mirage in the digital rain? The choice is yours, but remember, in this brave new world, "Nothing Is Real."

🎨 Prepare to lose yourself in the realm where reality is just a glitch in the matrix. Welcome to the future. Welcome to "Nothing Is Real."

Explicit lyrics:
I think i had too much last night
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

Another lesson for trying to avoid reality
another trip into the dark insanity

The devil is a bottle and it's rotten to the core
Bring the fckn bottle, until i reach the "shore"
Listen UP everyone i got news for you
Bring this fckn bottle, and no one's gonna, no one's gonna, no one's gonna get harmed!

i think this headache don't wanna leave me
i got shitfaced but nothing learned

The Devil is a Bottle

THE GARDEN is a guitar piece where I explore different styles of acoustic guitar music from different parts of the World. Bossa, Tango, Jazz, Blues, Flamenco, etc. I had to think of a botanical garden, where plants from all over the World coexist and form a beautiful coherent whole. 

Here is my musical botanical garden, I hope you’ll enjoy!

"Yes...Men Cry"

Is it weakness to be sensitive & show the secret hidden deep?
And even as you see the lines appear on my face, this heart was yours to keep
Consider these tears meaningless if no one really cares to speak or even see
Yes...Men Cry & you once whispered in my ear that you knew all of me....

Do you think it is freedom to be alone or have I been ranting too long
Over extended this heartless plea, was I ever your king or was I just wrong
Yes...Men Cry & sometimes they reveal dark secrets allowing you to see the soft side
Left me here for reasons of your own & now I understand why I must forever hide

lyrics:
Ramona? is this what u really wanna?
Is this the life you have always dreamed of?
Listen your heart and go on!

Ramona? you gotta fight for what u really wanna
maybe you're the new madona
a mother, an actor in "Lavapies"

You don't need to get scared, don't be afraid you're almost there
these bright lights, the diamonds on your dress

Forget the past and make it last, we are getting old you gotta move fast
the whole universe is almost on your feet

Ramona
