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 04:44
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

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

Baphyphoça 09:17
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 03:35
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 03:09
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 Mean

Manifesto 08:22
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 Ideological Ideologically correct Art

about

about

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
