Visionaries 05:20
I will dance through the storm, to reach the center and understand the secret of its balance, surrounded by the ruins of every certainty, of all the bridges I have burnt, to take my place in the firmament. How indifferent can we be walking on the edge riding our ambitions. Everything behind us is gone. What you are looking for is not here, it has never been here. As delusional visionaries, We’ll  reach the unreachable to outlive ourselves. Perfection is the great deceit. It satisfies your craving, consuming your essence. Is this what you’re looking for? To tame the storm that is inside of you, to make this moment yours, undermining the time that made us so distant, so unreachable.

Hyperion 03:53
Crossing streets turn into parallels, pushing us over the skyline, and we’ll let our memories follow the flow of miles, chased by the echoes of what we’ve left behind. Choices reveal their new trails, They will make us unrecognizable. We are fast as we’re consuming us, like fast lanes towards a new undiscovered glimpse of sky. This time we won’t slowdown. The world that I know is fading on my shoulders, torn apart by all the directions we have taken, on our chaotic motion made by inverted routes and coordinates to redefine. Echoes run fast but I know you won’t be taken. The space dilates, covering the distance of my every afterthought. Choices reveal new trails, They will make us unrecognizable, fast as we’re consuming us.

Above 03:28
Jagged lines fill my mind, expanding its boundaries. My footprints are carrying the weight of your shadow. Now I’m again at your feet. I’ve sold my eyes to the horizon, to feel again the river’s water shoving into my skin, and the flow sings as our inner sound. I feel the consequences of all this pouring on me. Show me the passage to vanquish the absence’s vertigo, that traps my body inside your heart. I feel the consequences of all this pouring on me, like thin rain of a clearing haze, that lift me up restoring my forces. Now I’ve paid my debt to you. I open my eyes [I’m so far away]. I open my eyes [All it’s changed]. Now I’ve paid my debt to you.

Ether 04:32
Weary waves blend with the leaden hues of the metropolis, spreading distorted noises of dissolving words and pictures. And with them my thoughts will never stop getting lost along this ways, to seek your face between everyday’s stares. As an apnea that steals my days, taking them back to you. You can take them back to you, keeping me suspended between these walls. Instants die young, dragging with them voices and pictures, Where I'm still hiding myself. Where I keep coming back, pressing rewind, forgetting the time outside. Everything seems to move backwards, to deal with all we have buried here.
5.
Adrift 04:49
Bring with you all the love you can. A new cycle is gonna begin. Undress yourself of everything that can slow down our escape. Our devotion to the unknown is solid earth where to build new higher barricades, from where attending to our derive. What makes you so sure that all the risks you are taking, are not marking every step to your freedom? But do you believe we belong to ourselves? How much are you willing to sacrifice to keep all this alive? This place will not last our time. We’ll soon have the need to look up and learn to orient, not to be at the mercy of these tides, and understand where we belong [Where should we be now]. We are the only risk to face [We have the choice]. How much are you willing to sacrifice keepin’ alive or ending all this?
