Music by RC
Lyrics by RC
I wake up in the morning
Turn around to see
There's no one else but me
It's so hard to breathe
Living in the gray
With nothing left but pain
Is there really nothing between the two
Of us coz I can't tell what's true?
Will I ever get to be with you?
Shall I give up my life just to reach you?
Coz now I'm dying to be with you
You took my heart and my whole life too
Craving for your touch, longing for every kiss
Will I ever be complete without you?
The time shall come
When all will bid adieu
And all will seem so blue
It won't matter
As long as I'm with you
I will make it through
Coz I know there's something between the two
Of us and I can tell it's true
I will forever be with you
Coz I know you love me too
You know I'm dying to be with you
You took my heart and my whole life too
Craving for your touch, longing for every kiss
Will I ever be complete without you?
You know I'd die for you
Don't doubt it, my love for you is true

Lyrics by RC
I say goodbye
To all those times we shared
Though nothing was spared
All washed away by the rain
Now we're apart
Missing fragments of my heart
With nowhere to start
All washed down the drain
Nobody said it would be this hard
To let go of the pain
I find it so hard
To let go and leave you behind
I find it so hard
To let go and leave you behind
I just realized
I need you here by my side
There's nothing to hide
Not even living a life in vain
And leave you behind
And leave you behind
And leave you behind
And say goodbye
(And leave you behind)

Just for Tonight
Music by EA
Lyrics by RC
I can't help thinking
What made me fall for you?
What was it with you
That blinded me so?
You took my breath away
The way you flashed your eyes on me
And I knew we were going
Somewhere, to that place
Where no one else has been
Do you know I'd lie awake at night?
Just keep wondering if you're dreaming of me tonight
Staring at the stars
Looking into somewhere far
Hoping you'll be here by my side
Just for tonight
At least for tonight
And still I'm thinking
What made me fall for you?
What was it with you
That blinded me so?
You took my breath away
The moment you flashed your eyes on me
And we'll be together soon
Somewhere in that place
Where no one else will be
Only you and me
Just for tonight
Gentle as a Breeze
Music by JA and RC
Lyrics by RC and JA
And everytime I close my eyes
I see your face etched in the skies
Adorn your contour as you walk by
And take me on a high
You take the loneliness away from me
And bring me safely across a fearful sea
It's amazing how you can sweep me
Off my feet
It's amazing how you can sweep me
Away from here
I gaze out the window and I see
The stars looking down upon me
And staring back I look into your eyes
And see all that's unseen
Love and Rain
Music by EA
Lyrics by JA
And so there she was standing right outside my door
While the rain just won't stop pouring down
And I can't explain why I didn't see her there before
When she was always there
But now all I see is her glowing face
Her rosy red lips, and her crystal eyes
My shining diamond in a sea of black
My light
My hope
My guide to my own heart and soul
My mind
Myself
And I reach out to her there
(Yeah...)
The girl of my dreams
But why didn't I let her in?
And so there she was standing right outside my door
While the rain just won't stop pouring down
On her face
And on her dress
Her flowing hair more dazzling than
Anything I've seen in this world
And so there we were
Til it finally dawned out
The sun gently drying her face
And her eyes sparkled so
The girl of my dreams
My shining diamond in a sea of black
(Yeah...)
The girl of my dreams.
But why didn't I let her in?
Stasis
Music by RC and JA
Lyrics by JA and RC
Looking over my shoulder
And I see that there's nothing there
(There's nothing there but...)
I keep going on but I don't remember
Why I even tried to find my place
And time and my eyes just open slowly
The world's so full of dust
And darkness all around
(That I can't see...)
Where I'm going, where I'm heading for
And I can't stand living this pain of a hell
Oh well, oh well, oh well
(Oh well, oh well)
As my visions blurs, my portrait slowly burns
(Burns as well)
Having doubts if my reflection is even me
(Who am I?...)
I think I'm a gone, I think I have lost my way
(With no trail to follow)
It sickens me to know that
I can't do a thing
To change
This world
This fucking (/forsaken) world
The world's so full of dark
And darkness all around
(Animosity that I can't see...)
Where I'm going, where I'm heading for this time around again
(Around again...)
And I can't stand living this pain of a hell
(Pain of a hell...)
Oh well, oh well, oh well
(Oh well, oh well)
Mimic
Music by JA
Lyrics by JA and RC
A lighted furnace fades in a crevasse
Dashless Ares, he's gone breathless
Unless you're you
(Caring not to hear the words)
Lest you're you
(That I always wanted you to hear)
Mellow pillow, hello ya fellow
That slow stiletto, you gonna swallow
The truth
(Falsified with everything you see)
Bellow under the truth
(Falsified so as not see)
Master of escapism
Master of your pessimism
She will never let you in/ And (/When) I thought you heard me say
It'll never let you go away
A dimlit furnace fades in a crevasse
Breathless Ares, he's gone soulless
Unless you're you
(Caring not to hear the words)
Lest you're you
(That I always wanted you to hear)
Vulgar drunkard, bitter with sugar
Far-seeing cars sparring with the stars
(Knowing you can't put their light away)
Sparring with the stars
(Ending up all in dismay)
Going nowhere far
Then I thought I heard you say
Never go away
Take My Hand
Music by RC
Lyrics by Rene Cabral
Within the silent tears of heaven
She stands there, her eyes transfixed
Gaze unaverted, a smile unchanged
Hair swaying with the cold night breeze
Take my hand, into the shadows
Shield under the torrent
Traversing the seas of uncertainty
I'll get you to the other shore
So take my hand, amidst the shadows
I'll shield you from the torrent
Traversing the seas of uncertainty
I'll get you across the shore
Gazing over troubled waters
The shining tear in her eyes
Fear no more and smile once again
For I shall calm the storm
Steps in the sand, the waves are silent
A brief smile and her happiness flows
She turns away to her castle
But why won't she stay?
Just don't walk away
Some of our less famous songs:
Now You're Gone
Music by RC
Lyrics by RC
I thought you already knew
There was no need to tell
Why didn't you talk to me,
Tell me things weren't going well?
Maybe you thought I can read your mind
Well darling, I'm sorry
That's not the way to find out
Darling, that's not just me
Can we talk it over?
Let's make this love last
I can't believe you're moving away so fast
C'mon, let's talk this over
Try to undo the past
A life without you, I won't even last
And now, there's nothing left to do
Can't even sleep at night
No one beside me
No one to kiss goodnight
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
I Want
Music by JA
Lyrics by JA
I want to fly across the sky
I want to soar as the eagles up high
I want to touch those cotton puffs of white I see
I want to be as the gods in the heaven high
I want to sail across the ocean and see the world
I want to travel through time and reach the stars
I want to be all that I can be but just not me
I want to find my place and stay
I want to find what I seek and never let go
I want to know what I desire the most
I don't care what you say
All I know is what I know
I want to drive across the open highway
I want to ride across the endless desert plain
I want to be a mountain, tall, sturdy, strong
I want to be as the rivers which never ceases to flow
I want to be like a toilet and flush all problems away
I want to be a pen and release myself for the world to see
I want to be as the clouds; come, let people see me more
I want to be my guitar and give beauty to all who hear
I want to be as a lightning flash, a thunder roll, the pervailing wind
I want to see it all
Off the Edge
Music by RC
Lyrics by JA
You wanna be
All that you could be
But all you are is a fool
You never knew
How hard it would be
Once I laid it all out to you
Too difficult
Too impossible
So all I say
Is back away
Before I shove you off the edge
On by yourself, you burn
All by yourself, you sanctify
Your empty soul and lose your gold
All by yourself (/On and on and...)
Go 'round, be free
Escape from me
You wouldn't wanna cross the line
Just go away
No time for you to stay
And disappear in time
In the void
In the nullity
So all I say
Is go away
Before my patience goes off the edge

Lyrics by JA
(punk genre)
(Coz) Every day, I wake up
And let you know
That I care and I'm here
But still you let go.
[PC]
Why the hell should I stay
When I could just be fee?
Why am I still here?
You don't even see...
[chorus]
Coz I'll just never be enough
to make you chang your mind
And I'm tired of all the stuff
I do for you.
I never let go
You never give in
It's all an impossible dream
[Interlude]
And now, you go...
And now, you leave...
You don't see...
Why I did...
All these... just for you...
All these... Coz I...
