What is Ours?

Hey, I've got news
I don't know if it's bad
Hey, we can choose
to turn this into a tragedy
but we won't
I have no interest in demotivation
This is the way it's got to go
I have no reason to be devastated
Back on the train
We'll do it again
Here's the plan
I don't care if it's mad
Yeah, there's a chance
To tear down the walls
that we built for ourselves
and we walk
Walk on the land we have lost
We have lost and we can still regain
What is ours is ours is ours
There's no turning back
Forever's our track
What's your name?
Come to the party we started
while we had our fame
Glad you came
But you've got to change
your perception
of where you remain
There is no need for an investigation
This is the price we have to pay
But when we commune
we will soon, we will soon
bring out the storm
the gates will be torn

Beautiful

I wonder why we fall at all
There is something beautiful about love
I’d like to share what I feel
Because it’s what I’m thinking of
It’s a feeling that creeps up
Under your neck
Above the breast
It feels warm
At the same time it feels strong
And when I breathe in
The feeling gets more intense
It’s what we’re striving for
And it has no end
We are aware of the lack of it
And right inside my chest
It’s the best

Better for us all

Can’t stand going to sleep again
I can’t stand having another night
And lay me down to sleep
It’s been a couple of years
Since I’ve been able
To lay my head to sleep
Oh, I can’t
I just sleep to dream
I was 17
When I could finally breathe
I have lost
All of my beliefs
And it’s been a relief
To be able to leave
Oh and I left
I left it all behind
I left it all behind
I put the past behind
I heard once
We had to be true to ourselves
Look at the present
Forget about the future
Forget about the past
Forget it all
Look beyond the fall
It’s better for us
Better for us all
It’s better for us all
If we just look past
Look past our silly lives
Look past look past our big behinds
We gotta learn to fight for ourselves
This battle ain’t fought by nobody else
You can’t wait till it’s over

I wanna laugh
Ha ha ha ha
Just sit and laugh
Ha ha ha ha
Don’t wanna cry out of my heart
No drama, please
No drama queens
Don’t wanna cry out of my mind

I’ll wait till this feeling goes away
I won’t see the light of day
Shut myself inside my room
Till the end of your zoom
There’s a flower in the bloom
I’ll be going home soon
I’ll stay here all afternoon
Nothing can take me
Nothing can fool me
I’m gonna stay home
And live through
Murky water
Murky life
Murky water
Murky smile
Murky water
Murky heart
I refuse to be your muse
One might assume
I wonder what you are
We have no warmth
We have no pay
We have no bread
We have no butter
Down in the gutter
When I refuse tell this broken heart
Feel it away to refuse to depart
I live for the truth
I can change the way
I can change my hair
I can do what I want to do
I don’t mind when my nature is on

This City

They say the writer is the weaver of dreams
What kind of dreams do we all dream?
I can only tell now of how it is to wake
And start to change the world around
Reality is now the check we sign
All this upheaval is our fate
I can't remember what I dreamt last night
When morning comes it fades away
This irksome cloud that hangs above our heads
It's telling all of us to stop
But on the Monday after we bow down
To make the ends of our lives meet
This roof that covers the top of my head
Beneath the feet of someone else
And down below my gutter joins with yours
in this barbaric paradise
This city sucks the marrow
This city rots your brain
If it's not happening here
It's not anywhere else
Where do your dreams reside?
Where is your appetite?
What are we yearning for?
What are we learning for?

Big Brother

Big Brother is watching you
Filming your every move
He sinks into your thoughts
Controlling his robots
It’s 1984
The year we count no more it’s true
Blue
We have no words at hand
We cannot express what we stand
Trance
Big Brother is watching you
Seeing the things you do
The newspeak’s new command
Must obey most you can
The thought police are gone
Maybe we can run for our lives
Fast
Your presumption is ungood
Someone should smash this telescreen

Manifesto

Ideological correctness
Ideologically correct art
Degeneration starts when revolution is raffled
Reestablish the notion of sin
Sin as selling of rights in the name of the Lord
Approximate the notion of time
And then finally os space and movement
Capturing movements
Dynamism
Take the atom out of closed circuits
And obsessions with balance and order
We are comets
We are waves
We leave ours smells behind in a puff of smoke
Baphos

Érica Niterói, Brazil
Érica has her head in the clouds but her feet firmly planted in the dirt. Her earthy voice exists in direct contrast to her instrumentals, which are ethereal yet grounded by stumbling drum machines and bubbling organic keys, all recorded through layers of cassette grit. It’s at once soothing and a little dark, like you’re listening in on demos recorded in her bedroom. ... more
