being happy hurts right now I have no pleasure laughing I have no pleasure breathing I have no voice to speak and shout inside my body's screaming but this fever dream is distracting it seems I'm failing on my vow to keep this vessel working to make sure it's still functioning to keep this vessel working to keep this vessel working to keep this machine from turning off but, oh, it's still turned on oh yeah, I'll carry it on but, oh, it's still turned on oh yeah, I'll carry on I'll keep on moving I'll keep on taking care I'll keep on dancing I'll keep on going everywhere my voice's clear I'll keep on taking care my body's here I'll keep on going everywhere recovery is near recovery is near recovery is near recovery is here recovery is near recovery is here recovery is here recovery is here recovery is here

Let's Move On (FAWM 2020 Demo) 03:28
lyrics
buy track
sometimes sheer will is not enough sometimes you have to kneel to a situation that's tough it will surely help you heal most times you don't wanna do what's needed to be able to rebuild most times feelings are not superseded and they have to be killed there comes a time when someone has to leave there comes a time when something has to leave there comes a time when someone has to leave there always comes a time when something has to leave everytime you have to accept when a light is fading and everytime it feels so bad like it cancels our belonging any time lived is not wasted if you know that love was present any time a change is needed there is no time to resent we have to leave each other let's move on we'll always have each other let's move on

Everytime I Leave My House (FAWM 2020 Demo) 04:12
lyrics
buy track
today I woke up in my house the walls were vibing with a sound so charming I got up and made my way out the streets were bumping with all the hearts pumping I looked at myself then around my beat was synchronizing not even realizing everytime I leave my house there's other one on my way with open doors and open arms for as long as I stay and everytime I leave a house my own heart becomes a place where music's mine, is yours, is ours, an universal state today I woke up in your house my walls were vibing with your eyes, so charming we got up, wandering about people were jumping with all that bass bouncing I looked at yourself then around your beat was synchronizing not even realizing tonight we're not going to sleep the floor is vibing with the music flowing we're putting all our feelings out this house is bouncing with the people dancing I looked no further, this is now our beats were synchronizing a deeper understanding

A Stain In The Sky (FAWM 2020 Demo) 05:52
lyrics
buy track
a stain in the sky can you see it? I wanted to talk about all those colours no need to mistify or dismiss it from here on out look at the sun and find the hours the sea is above, not below someone once has told me so but I never found it the sky is inside, I can feel wet cotton, heavy clouds with all the time to steal no need to use your eyes can you see it? you told me to hold out for a feeling I stood there, simplified thought I did it relieved of all my doubts but I'm still reeling the sea is below, not above someone else has told me so but I never felt it the minds are outside, I can hear dry words, heavy thoughts with all the time to fear

Pocket Universe (FAWM 2020 Demo) 01:21
lyrics
buy track
bought it from a thief out in sector eighteen it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen packed inside a thumb-sized mirrored glass ball packing much more heat than a falling meteor and now it's inside my pants I got this little pocket universe grab your magnifying lens prepare your mind, it will be intense there's no need for a great pretense when you have a little pocket universe it's a tiny piece of great opulence a small ball of greatness right in your hands so many planets, black holes and flying comets I wondered if there was life inside such objects the thief then told me "let me tell you a secret, life really happens wherever you wanna keep it"

Até Logo (See You Soon) (FAWM 2020 Demo) 02:24
lyrics
buy track
há uma canção que diz "bye bye, so long, farewell" mas o meu coração me diz "see you very soon, be well" I know that sadness comes naturally mas há sempre alegria por vir it won't take long again for us to meet há sempre espaço pra vocês aqui vamos todas estar juntas no ano que vem we'll be all together next year again so we can talk about all the things that went by sobre tudo que passou vamos poder conversar "see you, see you, see you again see you, see you, see you next time"... "dizem que é a última canção. eles não nos conhecem, dá pra ver. só será a última canção se deixarmos ser."
