soundtrackofmysilence:
by the river.
01/15/11 at 07:36 AM by simplejack
So far gone the clouds in the sky
The river bank is the perfect place
A peaceful silence and a quiet breeze
What else could I really need?

Out of the mess someone calls world
I run through the air coming from nature
The power of music, the beauty of life
Make my lungs breathe deeper than ever

Would you bet that I feel like I can fly?

AND I LOOK IN THE WATER
(IT’S ME THAT I SEE)
DRENCHED IN RAYS OF SUNLIGHT
(I CAN’T BELIEVE)
I FOUND A HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH
IT’S A WONDERFUL DAY

Thinking about how much time has passed
Since I felt this way back in the day
Tears now smiles, mistakes now laughs
And those good memories I keep in my heart

Nothing can knock me down, I’m so happy now
I’m just a boy with a big smile on his face
Songs stolen by bad times I got them back
I still don’t know what future holds for me
Good or bad, it will be a rollercoaster
I still have my dreams and I want to believe

lone wolf.

I’M FALLING DOWN AGAIN
IF THIS MEANS TO BE A MAN
I FEEL SO MUCH OLDER THAN YOU
MY BODY IS LETTING GO
MY MIND DOESN’T KNOW
I HAVE NOTHING TO HOLD ON TO

My eyes are desperate
My hands are trembling
Can I save this scene before it’s too late?
I’m losing weight again
Let my hair grow as I stand
Watching this incomplete beard grow longer again

Maybe one day I will make it
Motivation lacks at all
The worst mistake I could ever make is
Wish a change and do nothing else
To make it happen

When I thought I was okay
Lied to myself during those days
I misspelled invisible with invincible
When I thought that I was the best
It was your fault if I was less
You knew from the start the problem was me

I could be so much more
But the fear of flying keep on bringing me down
In a world I’ve been sleeping
On a cloud I’ve been living and not looking down
And it hurts so hard when I fell to the ground
Bruises, wounds and blood
I wasted myself and the time I’ve always had
But at least I’m still alive

Now I feel your words you told me that morning
“There’ll always be problems and difficulties, something that knocks you out
From time to time every step requires more and more effort
so do what you like, what makes you feel good
life will be hard but at least enjoyable”

Don’t let this sad song be the soundtrack of my silence
I’ll mark the music in my head, the lyrics in my heart
To remind me why I’m here and where I’ve been
‘cause what I’ve done makes who I am but not who I’ll be

“If you don’t like who you are,
If you don’t like the world around you,
If you wake up every morning feeling hopeless, scared and sad
You must know that it’s never too late to stand up and change.
You’ve got to work hard and be positive
And one day you’ll be a champ”

after all.
12/28/10 at 07:49 AM by simplejack
I feel the tension in the air
Embarrassing silences and growing pressure
They want an answer I can’t give right now
No one told me this life was easy
I never meant it that way
I’m sorry if I’m not what you expect
I let you down without thinking about it
I kept on going forward with steps done backwards
Does that even make sense to you?
You know, other than downfall?

“DON’T THROW IT AWAY, THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR MIND, YOUR BODY AND HEART.”
IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO GO ON WITHOUT A REASON TO BELIEVE, I GIVE UP
BUT I’M ONLY HUMAN AFTER ALL.

I feel the tension in the air
Embarrassing silences and growing pressure
I’ve got to show you that I’m not done yet
I’m scared about what future holds for me
I guess I’ll get it through

I can’t stand promises and new year’s resolutions
‘cause it’s complicated to pretend that everything will be alright
Problems always find the time to knock at your door
I won’t bet about my scores but I’ll do my best to make them good
The more I hear you say you don’t care
The more I know you're there

believe. part II.
12/28/10 at 07:47 AM by simplejack
Sitting by the river and I don’t know why
While time passes by everyone’s the same
The lack of balance has become routine
Slowly watching grey lives fading to black
You don’t care till you learn the hard way
We delegate our lives pretending our rights
Then you got to ask the licence for dreaming
Future left alone in empty consciences

WE GOTTA BELIEVE THAT A CHANGE IS POSSIBLE
LOOK OUT FOR THE UPSIDES AND FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAM
WE GOTTA BELIEVE
LET’S RAISE OUR HEADS AND OPEN OUR WINDOWS
‘CAUSE WORLD WON’T CHANGE IF YOU LIVE ON YOUR OWN

It’s time to be brave and raise our voices
Indifference kills the anger of the innocents
Hope is for the young ones, hope is for fools
Who will fight for us, if not ourselves?

in the silence.
12/18/10 at 10:45 AM by simplejack
Everyone is looking for coherence
People who really think and do what they say
Everyone is looking for sincerity
But do you really want to know the truth?
We wear so many masks in life
for every time and place we live in
world's a stage I got a part to act
for any situation I got to live

IN THE SILENCE
I CAN SEE THE SCARS OF WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE PAST
SIGNS THAT MAKE ME WHO I AM
IN THE SILENCE
I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF STANDING ON MY OWN
I CAN HEAR WHO I REALLY AM

Everything is ready for this show
I’m the actor, the writer, the director
And it’s not my fault if audience’s gone
The audition process is a fucking joke

In the silence of the night
With the deafening sound of your thoughts
Can you still hear yourself?
In the silence of the night
When you look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?

my favourite radio.
12/18/10 at 10:44 AM by simplejack
Mixed tapes blasting off my car stereo
Windows down sunglasses winter’s gone
Here comes the song I want to hear for so long
As a main theme of the soundtrack of my life
I want simple, effective, predictable songs
They are the ones that speak to me

I RUN THROUGH THE MELODIES OF MY HEART
TO FIND THE PERFECT SONG TO SHOUT OUT
I WILL SING IT LOUD AND OUT OF TUNE
I WON’T CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I’M HAPPY AND FREE

I haven’t ever pretended to know the music’s history
Or be some hipster who fakes to know it all
Catchy doesn’t mean good but radio still sells
My heart is my favourite radio
It’s not about hit singles and weeks on chart
But record players torn apart

When everything’s in transit, music will be there
Connect with my senses, my thoughts and my silences
So I’ll know exactly how to feel how to say

apart.
12/14/10 at 01:37 PM by simplejack
Travel on the sidewalks of this town
grey sky and fallen leaves on the ground
I can’t blame the weather anymore
I can’t leave this life out of the door
defence is low too many losses in a row
there’s a solution but I got no attention
I let my sickness in
I’m caught up in between

I’M FALLING APART EVEN THOUGH I’M ALIVE, I’M DYING INSIDE
THE SUN’S FADING AWAY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE
THESE FOUR WALLS I LIVE WITHIN I CAN’T CALL HOME
AND I DON’T HEAR THE RINGING OF THE PHONE

it seems lights and sounds are all dead
out of the world, in a hospital bed
my vital sings are better day by day
but doctors have nothing to say
the only colours I see, not only for me,
belong to the pills I take because I can’t see straight
there’s no strength in my breath
I’m so scared to death

I’m smaller as I fall, darkness has become my new light
waiting for injections, chemicals always fail on me
silence is everywhere, even words have left me alone
I would run away, but I wouldn’t solve anything

believe.
12/14/10 at 01:36 PM by simplejack
There’s a place for god in this world of pain?
Is there something to believe in or everything’s fucked up?
I need someone to give hope to my tomorrow
When everyone who’s supposed to do it lies in its vanity
So many walking contradictions in the world
It spins the wrong way and I’m stuck in standby

ONE STEP AT A TIME WE’LL GET THROUGH THIS IN THE END
I DON’T KNOW IF THERE’S A GOD ABOVE
IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
NO ONE WILL DO IT FOR YOU

It’s somehow crazy everyone minds his own fucking businesses
But if you don’t know someone that helps you your career won’t go on
And it feels like honesty won’t pay
Every single tear of sweat poured off these years
Waiting up for second chances is not the best way for living
I should choose a target and paint it for the win

And so does time when they say it heals the wounds
But a photograph brings back the hurt
Haven’t you written the word “the end”?
And so do you when you think you can't make it
even before you tried it at all
are looking only for the score or you do the best you can?

I don't know if there's a god above us
but I believe in you

I'm ready.
12/11/10 at 01:09 AM by simplejack
I’m 20 years old
but I’m not grown at all
you can see it from the mistakes I make
the world is a mystery for me
and the way I used to be
choose the path for every step I take
no longer I’m looking back

AND NOW I’M READY TO BELIEVE,
TO REACH UP FOR THE BETTER THINGS THAT SEEM SO FAR AWAY
AND CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN
THROUGH THE AIRWAVES IN A FRESH BREATH OF POWER OF WILL

I lit a match made of desire
to make you see a bursting fire
you can rest now or follow your chances
pick up your bags and let’s go
I won’t stop and I won’t slow
I’ll break down forever my fences
No longer I’m giving up

I can find the strength to win my fights
I will carry on if you’re by my side

one.
12/11/10 at 01:08 AM by simplejack
I’m arrived at this point in my life
a little worker bee until now
I need a few seconds to rest my head
but when I wake up I don’t know where I am
time is golden, it’s all I ever had
much of it I wasted along the way
no time machine, no duct tapes, no soul sale
it won’t come back to delete my regrets
I’ll take what I can get

LIFE IS ONE
I DON'T THINK I'LL WASTE OTHER TIME
I'LL HOLD ON
I DON'T THINK I WILL GO BETTER
I'VE DONE MY BEST AND NOTHING CAN BRING ME DOWN

when you feel the weight of the world on your back
and nothing on earth is sold for free
while everything is unpredictable
why you pretend to settle thing for less?
it’s just a mess

no broken hearts can’t be healed
no broken homes can’t be rebuilt
if you’re hurt, I know you’re scared
we all have up and downs but does it ruin our ride?
I gotta hope

LIFE IS ONE
I DON'T THINK I'LL WASTE OTHER TIME
I'LL HOLD ON
I DON'T THINK I WILL GO BETTER
I'VE DONE MY BEST AND NOTHING CAN BRING ME, NOTHING CAN BRING ME DOWN
IN MY BODY SO MUCH FRUSTRATION, CAN YOU HEAR MY SCREAM?

stop. take a breath. press play.
12/08/10 at 01:34 PM by simplejack
Right before the concert tension start to grow
I can't speak a concept
a lump down on my throat
expectations raising high
heart doesn't need to lie
swimming through the silence
I can hear the audience say:
"you're wasting your time, you throw it away
'cause we don't need another boy who wears his heart on a sleeve
but open your eyes and ask us to believe in you"

SING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS
WE CAN DO NO WRONG
WE DON'T FEEL ANY SHAME
THIS IS JUST A GAME
WE ARE HERE TO PLAY

I don't have the courage
to keep my eyes out of my feet
sweat runs down with rage
'til the last song I'm average
please save a breath for the moment you'll come here
you'll need it for telling us something to write home about
good or bad you'll take it in your memories

I need to do it just for myself
the show must go on, I don't need help
my body finds a way to react
my voice is something I still have
with family and friends this concert never ends
I'll have the strength to hit every note right
I'll never stop to

SING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS
I CAN DO NO WRONG
I DON'T FEEL ANY SHAME
THIS IS JUST A GAME
I'M HERE TO PLAY
