Some things are happening so fast,
but some things aren’t happening fast enough.
I don’t have any reference in the past.
Not sure how to react, did I hesitate too much?

The countless hours 
I was looking at the ceiling,
trying to calm my heart down 
with some heavy breathing. 

Bits and pieces 
that are swirling in the whirlpool that’s my mind.
They won’t fit together,
creating a picture I don’t recognize.

Should I’ve chosen a different path?
Were those choices ever what I asked for?
I wonder whatever lies ahead.
My mind’s drawing paintings I can’t ignore.

The countless hours 
that I tried sleeping,
trying to get my head straight
among the misleading

Bits and pieces 
that are swirling in the whirlpool that’s my mind.
They won’t fit together,
creating a picture I don’t recognize.	

The countless visions
in my imagination.
Whatever could be,
it keeps circulating.

Bits and pieces 
that are swirling in the whirlpool that’s my mind.
They won’t fit together,
creating a picture I don’t recognize.

The countless hours
I was looking at the ceiling,
trying to get my head straight
among the misleading.
 
Bits and pieces 
that are swirling in the whirlpool that’s my mind.

The Things Just I See

If we paused and slowly turned around,
what would we get to see?
A path along our history.

And what if we went back in time?
What would have you done differently?
Would it change where and who you’d be?

Years ago, 
back at home,
I had dreams where I wanted be 
that no one would share with me.
	
I got pushed and pulled,
hoping I would
betray my own way, 		
not move away.
I felt misunderstood.

I knew I couldn’t stay.
Felt the expectations’ weight,
predictions and comparisons.
At some point, I couldn’t hold it in.

Opened my eyes,
my dream in my mind…
I just had to try. 
 
If we paused and slowly turned around,
what would we get to see?
A path along our history.

And what if we went back in time?
What would have you done differently?
Would it change where and who you’d be?

A few years older
I can say ‘I told ya’.
The scars and pain
were not in vain.

They just made me stronger.
Punches out the corner.
Blood and sweat and tears,
fighting for my honor.
I couldn’t foresee, no guarantee,
what I wanted for me happened fortunately.

Now, I feel, people get me,
I get to be the real me.
No veils and disguises,
that’s how it’s supposed to be.
No going back, 
I’m in all the way.
My work, my passions 
all on display.

But don’t wanna be complacent
‘cause I don’t feel like I made it, still.
Time will come with changes,
in different places. 
Just be patient
and embrace ‘em.

If we paused and slowly turned around,
what would we get to see?
A path along our history.

And what if we went back in time?
What would have you done differently?
Would it change where and who you’d be?

Path

Standing on the edge, looking down.
It feels like
all eyes are on me.

I’m thrown into the deep end right now
into the 
unknown sea.

I try to prepare.
I try not to drown 
when it pulls me down.
I pretend not to be scared.
What’s on the line is what’s on my mind.  

Looking for the shore.
While I am swimming,
sensing the current.

Or it will swallow me whole.
Fighting my demons
down in the deep end.

Foreign and cold,
trying to hold
on to something.

But truth be told
until it unfolds
I am just bluffing.	

I’m moving as if I’m blind.
No traces to follow,
just instincts that I know.
Floating with no land in sight,
the tide’s getting high, open your eyes!

Looking for the shore.
While I am swimming,
sensing the current.

Or it will swallow me whole.
Fighting my demons
down in the deep end.

I stand my ground
against all those doubts.	
I won’t allow
for them to take me down!

Looking for the shore.
While I am swimming,
sensing the current.

Or it will swallow me whole.
Fighting my demons
down in the deep end.

Foreign and cold,
trying to hold
on to something.

But truth be told
until it unfolds
I am just bluffing.	

Looking for the shore.
While I am swimming,
sensing the current.

Or it will swallow me whole.
Fighting my demons
down in the deep end.

Into The Deep End

I’m sitting on my window sill,
gazing down at passing cars until
the city sleeps, ideas creep in my mind.

Playing through different scenarios,
some outcomes I already know,
some things I did that I wish to re-write.

In that midnight library,
thinking ‘bout all the possibilities
		of who I am and who I’m not,
what I want.

Questioning destiny,
discovering what else I had to see.
Every choice, every mistake
I wish I could change.

Going through my memories,
what was my friend or enemy.
How much can change after one night?

All I can do though is to rewind
all those chapters of my life
so far, in that book of mine.

In that midnight library,
thinking ‘bout all the possibilities
of who I am and who I’m not,
what I want.

Questioning destiny,
discovering what else I had to see.
Every choice, every mistake
I wish I could change.

The midnight library
showed me who I used to be.
The person who I once was
against all odds.

The midnight library
asks me who do I wanna be.
The person who I can become
when the morning comes.

Midnight Library

Sometimes I’d like to scroll back,
sometimes I wish I could fast forward,
sometimes it should just fade to black,
sometimes I don’t want it to end.

Those sounds, colours and words.
Together creating my own world
that tries to reflect,
to imagine what comes next.

So I write and I’ll continue to write 
though I won’t like it sometimes,
but that’s alright.
‘Cause those chapters are all part of a story,
a story about me,
one I’ll try to explain,
with every turn of a page.

I try to capture every detail
like a photographic memory,
of all what will remind me,
from first hellos to farewells,
the story I’ll retell. 

Every inhale and exhale
has a place in my treasury,
all what will remind me,
from first kisses to heartbreak,
everything I can’t unmake.

So I write and I’ll continue to write 
though I won’t like it sometimes,
but that’s alright.
I tried and I’ll continue to try, 
dissecting everything I write
in my overthinking mind,
line after line.
‘Cause those chapters are all part of a story,
a story about me,
one I’ll try to explain,
with every turn of a page.

So I write and I’ll continue to write 
my own storyline,
those chapters of my life.

Chapters

Remember the early mornings
mum stood in the kitchen
and made your breakfast.
And how much it means you.
Remember the shared hours
dad gave you a new haircut
on weekends.
And how much it means you.

‘Cause we forget the love in here.
The truest form of affection.
A feeling so pure and clear.
The most beautiful sensation.

Brothers and sisters, mother and father.
And friends.
The people that are important.
Loved ones, don’t take ‘em for granted.
Just love them.
It ain’t that hard
to do.

Remember when your siblings
spilled their words of wisdom
to make you happier.
They were there for you.
Remember when your friends
tried to distract you
from your demons.
They were there for you.

‘Cause we forget the love in here.
The truest form of affection.
A feeling so pure and clear.
The most beautiful sensation.

Brothers and sisters, mother and father.
And friends.
The people that are important.
Loved ones, don’t take ‘em for granted.
Just love them.
It ain’t that hard
to do.

They made who you are.
Ran along, side by side.
Know almost every bruise and scar.
Always keep that in mind.

Brothers and sisters, mother and father.
And friends.
The people that are important.
Loved ones, don’t take ‘em for granted.
Just love them.
It ain’t that hard
to do.

Desert & Ocean

Loved Ones

Staring, staring at the minute hand.
Tik-tok, impatiently waiting.
Over, overthinking my decisions.
Wanna turn back the clock, expecting answers I’m fearing.

But there is a place, there is a time.
No need for anxiety, everything will align.

Pacing, walking ‘round in circles.
Feeling restless, it’s so suffocating.
Wondering, questioning my choices.
I’m lost between desert and ocean.

But there is a place, there is a time.
No need for anxiety, everything will align.

Patience, just don’t lose faith.
Patience, just don’t lose trust.
Patience, just don’t lose faith.
Patience, just don’t lose trust.

‘Cause there is a place, there is a time.
No need for anxiety, everything will align.
There is a place, there is a time.
No need for anxiety, everything will align.

Patience

Raindrops,
gently patting the rooftop,
never hitting the same spot.
An ocean of whispers.
I watch ‘em
sliding down the windows,
watch the streets becoming mirrors,
look back at myself.

They fall, fall anyway
trying to take those fears away.

They burn even though they’re cold
make you let go of the overflow.
Change, alter the atmosphere,
pure and sincere, to clear what once was unclear.

Teardrops,
pouring without control,
freeing my soul
from the clouds in my head.
All those
memories and daydreams,
that don’t let me sleep
getting all blurry.

They fall, fall anyway
trying to wash those fears away.

They burn even though they’re cold
make you let go of the overflow.
Change, alter the atmosphere,
pure and sincere, to clear what once was unclear.

Drops

Empty streets.
And only you and your conscious,
dancing like nobody’s watching.
A touch of infinity.
Falling leaves
are flowing through the open air
and are spreading everywhere
a scent of liberty

No need to wonder where you’d fit in.
No need to overthink everything.

Your pounding heart
is the only sound you listen to
while soaking in and walking through
a panoramic scenery.
You’re counting stars,
thinking about everything and nothing,
understanding without talking.
A sense of intimacy.

No need to wonder where you’d fit in.
No need to overthink everything.

In the distance I see streetlights
in the skyline
by midnight.
Escaping the hustle of life,
yeah, it’s alright,
yeah, it’s alright.
In the distance I see streetlights
in the skyline
wishing goodnight.
Escaping the struggles of life,
yeah, it’s alright,
yeah, it’s alright,
once in a while.

City by Night

Hello, how are you?
Hope you don’t mind some company.
I, I would enjoy to
listen to your stories until three.
Or four, or five in the morning,
with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Having stupid, little conversations
with nowhere else to be.

Revelations and questions are suddenly hitting me
in that fraction of a moment.

I would trust you right here and now.
I would listen without a doubt.
I would live through the fault in our stars.
I would want to get to know us even when it’s dark.

I know it will get messy,
between all the desires and fears.
But to find out what we’ve been hiding,
we've got time, days and months and years.

Revelations and questions are suddenly hitting me,
it was then that I noticed.

I would trust you right here and now.
I would listen without a doubt.
I would live through the fault in our stars.
I would want to get to know us even when it’s dark.

Revelations and questions are suddenly hitting me
in that fraction of a moment.

Would you trust me right here and now?
Would you listen without a doubt?
Would you live through the fault in our stars?
Would you want to get to know us even when it’s dark?
