Come and look outside the window Someone is calling Calling, Calling Calling Come and look outside the window Someone is calling Calling, Calling Calling You’ll find a new perception come and enjoy it, 
Come and look outside the window Someone is calling Calling yeah Look outside the wind there blows Look outside the wind there blows Look outside the wind there blows Look outside the wind there blows You will never understand the difficulty of focusing,
 Focusing
 And you will never understand how crazy is to compose them, Compose them Them ideas, ideas, so many ideas
Ideas, ideas, so many ideas
Ideas, ideas, so many ideas
 Let’s put them into words
 Let’s put them into context Let’s put them down on paper
 Let’s put them into music, music, music
 So let me start with a vocal warm up.

Empty Promises 03:07
lyrics

How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none I’m starting to think that It’s all smokes and jokes A dream is built but
I keep bumping into fools I’m getting tired of your empty promises There’s only so many broken wishes I can get There’s only so many broken wishes I can get Always have to be of use
So much like a plus value Never show yourself confused Gotta be straight in your boots Transactional society
Idolise celebrity How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none How annoying is when people say stuff They already know they won’t do none I’m getting tired of your empty promises
There’s only so many broken wishes I can get I’m getting tired of your empty promises
There’s only so many broken wishes I can get I have had enough I can smell the dust I have had enough You should just get lost
Tell me more about it

Free, Pt.1 02:23
lyrics

I feel free I feel free Hello and welcome this is my time
This my grind
This is my flight I write the music
That resonates with me
I don’t give a shit of what you think Mathematical equations are lost in two creative expressions I feel free I feel free You don’t know how to describe it
But you know when you feel it Promise I could kill in order to feel free Freedom is a necessity Hear the anthem that rings Hello and welcome
This is me
Hello and welcome
Hard to believe
Promise I’ll be unlearning to be

Free Free Free Free Me Me Hello and welcome
This is my fee
To allow to be
around my energy
I’ll be unlearning to be free Unlearning to be me I belt a new wave
I felt a new sway
I get a new crave
I sense a new phase I belt a new wave
I felt a new sway
I get a new crave
I sense a new phase I belt a new wave
I felt a new sway
I get a new crave
I sense a new phase I belt a new wave
I felt a new sway
I get a new crave
I sense a new phase Freedom is a lesson learned unobserved Did it occur
What you know unfolds while you’re at work?

Invisible Cross 04:06
lyrics
buy track
Everyone carries an invisible cross I carry mine
You carry yours
You carry mine I carry yours
The cross gets heavier as time flows Air like wrinkles filled with halos Everyone carries an invisible cross Only mine was a bit bigger than yours It made me kneel many times but now The fear I had for long is gone
And now I know
What my cross stands for Everyone carries an invisible cross
Its weight makes the shoulders crouch Everyone carries an invisible cross
I was aching inside and now my
Cross and I are one 
Air like wrinkles filled with halos Invisible
How could you know? You had to go
Your time had come Invisible
How could you know? You had to go
Your time had come Invisible
How could you know? You had to go
Your time had come Invisible
How could you know? You had to go
Your time had come

Palabras feat. Alina Amuri 04:51
lyrics

Là, Là, Là, Là, Là Tengo que escuchar
La voz de mi conciencia La voz de mi mamá
La verdad es que si
Puede
Doler 
Me quedé sin confianza, Creía que
Podría abrirme Liberamente 
Palabra de una madre Protegen y me duele Palabra de una madre
Es humana como los demás Have to find my way
To come clear
Even though I’m grateful for all of your guidance
I have to listen to my own
In your absence
I found forgiveness
Now I’m relieved, I’m at peace, I can finally set us free Take me as I am, Take you as you are
Todo lo que soy, Todo lo que eres tu 
Palabra de una madre Protege y me duele
Palabra de una madre
Es humana como los demás 
Palabra de una madre Protege y me duele Cantamos para disculpar Là, là, là, là, là, là Là, Là, Là, Là, Là, Là

Vision 04:29
lyrics
buy track
Your words are wiser
They seek completion
Your spirit is precious
Your vision is high up because Your wings are wider than the sea Black butterfly
You seem unwanted You’re a star in disguise Keep flying high Nothing in this world is given If you take what’s yours You’ll make it even
Just like a champion’s tight grip
If you keep on holding on you’ll get there Vision is high up
No need to show off just Know that you’re enough
So light the light that it’s in you Black butterfly
You seem unwanted You’re a star in disguise Keep flying high Black butterfly
You seem unwanted You’re a star in disguise Keep flying high Your worth is
exclusive
It’s built
in beauty
That streams from Your essence And digs in Profound love Your wings are wider than the sea Your wings are wider than the sea Vision is high up No need to show off just Vision is high up No need to show off just Vision, vision Keep flying high Keep flying high Keep flying high Keep flying high

Death In My Dreams 04:03
lyrics
buy track
So I read If your loved ones are dead in your dreams You’re afraid of losing them
So I read If there’s a new proem
You’ll dream about the dead That’s how new life begins You’ll dream about the dead, But that’s how new life begins Please listen to your heart Bury the old
Welcome the new
Well it’s true The grieving is cruel Peel off your ego Crenme te digo A new chapter is coming for you Sit in your stillness
Prepare your greatness
A new chapter is coming for you For you Death in my dreams I believed to be real And I used to fear
Death in my dreams just an image appears Looking for a meaning I bow to a new beginning So I read If there’s a new change Parts of you will disappear That’s how new paths begin Please listen to your heart Such a heart of gold Rest up a few
Find a good book You’ll feel better soon Peel off your ego
Crenme te digo
A new chapter is coming for you Death in my dreams I believed to be real And I used to fear
Death in my dreams just an image appears Looking for a meaning I bow to a new beginning Death in my dreams I believed to be real And I used to fear
Death in my dreams just an image appears Looking for a meaning I bow to a new beginning So cheers to a new beginning Looking for a new meaning Bow to a new beginning Cheers to a new beginning

Lift Up 04:33
lyrics

I could do With losing thoughts that make me blue I could use Some talking therapy but I need You Got me through My worry, My worry And I Lift up Your worry, Your worry We could use
Our great intent to comprehend our different views
And we could use
Some make pretend but in the end I see the truth
Cause you’re an open book
I figured out the clues
Your make pretend’s a failed attempt of hiding your wounds You got me though And I lift up I Could use Some talking therapy but I need You Got me through My worry, My worry And I Lift up Your worry, Your worry You Got me through My worry, My worry And I Lift up Your worry, Your worry You Got me through My worry, My worry And I Lift up Your worry, Your worry You You Got me You got me through

Procrastinating 03:40
lyrics

Wish upon a star
The sun didn’t go down
Every night
Wish upon a star
I could pull back the time
And what if so
Would I able to prove it’s worth
How dear our time is
Constantly reflecting on the near future I’m tired of teaching I wanna go home I wanna go home
Embrace my piano and compose I want to go home And if so would I writing Or procrastinating? Wish upon a star,
Wish upon a call,
Wish on anything to happen But nothing does
Nothing happens on its own La, La,La.. La, La, La..
