MAN'SLAND

NO MAN’S LANDby Lekuona

The look aheadA firm stepI bear the weightI keep in mind the endThe looming cloudsThe daylight leftI feel my pulse, my breathThe sweat descendsI fall overAnd I get up againI hear a noiseI’ve heard beforeI stop and turnThat misty viewThe trembling leavesRefresh my faceI feel the wildnessGrowing free in meThat pathless beautySilences my fear

WHAT IF I TURN ASIDEBLEND INTO FOG

LOST IN THE WOODSIN NO MAN’S LAND

WHAT IF I FIND THAT PLACEWHAT IF I SING OFF KEYTHROW THE SCRIPT OUT

JUST LIKE A KIDIN NO MAN’S LAND

I WANT THAT LAND FOR MEI WANT MY FEET ON IT

I drop my packI touch the dewI take a breath

This magic foreign airThat makes me sure

Still makes me afraidI know I have been here before

This takes me farI start forgetting slightly

Who I was

GAMEby Lekuona

You wanna fightYou wanna beat me next timeYou’re in the moodYou’re dying to make a moveI hate wasting my breathI’d rather strengthen my legsBoy, my ego is at restI compete against myselfYOU WANNA BE BETTER THAN MEBUT I JUST WANNA BE THE BEST I CAN BEI DON’T NEED RIVALS MANI DON'T FIGHT PLAYERSI AM BUSY OBSERVING THEMYOU WANNA BE BETTER THAN MEBUT I JUST WANNA BE THE BEST I CAN BEI DON’T NEED RIVALS MANI’M NOT PLAYING YOUR GAME

The thing I’m crazy foris knowing how things work

Who is rigth or wrongMakes me feel damn bored

Now, I'm giving you the chanceTo state your position

But I’m wasting mineTo sharpen my perception

EXHAUSTEDby Lekuona

I’m exhaustedI need a cup of teaSomeone to tell meWho I’m meant to beI’ve been running since my birth that JanuaryAnd I need oil on meSap running through my veinsA white bed in the middle of nothingFive years of deep retreatA cure for everythingAn intelectual lethargyThat takes me far away from meA pill against lifeA certain deathA break from youCAN I SLEEP FOR THE REST OF MY TIMEDON’T WORRY ABOUT MEWHILE YOU TAKE CARE OF LIFENO WORRIES ABOUT ME, NOJUST LET ME GOCAUSE I’M EXHAUSTED

I’m exhaustedI need to cut the lights

A disconnectionFrom what I thougth I was

I’ve been working on my days,all through the nightsAnd I need help to stop

Snow falling on my faceA day to take a swim in the open sea

Something ahead of meA ticket to nowhere

A vow of silence for my lifeThat makes my voice forget my past

A pill against lifeA certain death

A break from you

I felt so full this morningAnd so fucking empty now

Felt like writing this songBut I’m giving up

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

AIRYby Lekuona

It’s your warmth in the night’s half lightMelodies all over the placeYour summer sun lightness, your joyYour sudden embrace of loveThe wasted days clowning aroundYour admiring faceYour calming voiceYour deep eyes piercing mine wordlesslyI’ve spent our life trying to talk to youI’ve looked for something to achieveAnd in the end all I can see my loveIs our connection is soAIRY LIKE A STORMSO SILENT LIKE A FLAMESO GENTLE LIKE A WHISPER FALLING DOWNPURE LIKE THE RAINSO HIDDEN LIKE A FEELINGQUIET LIKE A GROWING FLASH OF HOPE

It’s the way you build up our loveLike I’m cooking slow this song

It’s the need to comfort youWhen I have to face the blues

The wasted days clowning aroundYour admiring faceYour calming voice

Your deep eyes piercing mine wordlessly

TONIGHTby Lekuona

Tonight I’ll stop saying your nameSo you can go deep into silenceI’ll cry inside and leave quietlyWithout disturbingTonight I’ll stop making noiseSo you can sleep peacefullyI’ll pack my hopesAnd close the door carefullyI HOPE MY EMPTINESS INVADES YOUR DULL BODYHOPE MY ECHO RESOUNDS IN YOUR HEADWHEN I AM FAR FROM HEREIF MY ABSENCE GETS TO WAKE YOUTHIS WAR WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT

Tonight I will collect all my thingsTo make it easier for you

And I will leave no regretsThat can remind you of me

Tonight I’ll take a long-distance trainThat removes my smell from the path

I’ll make sure to throw all my money outAnd never look back

MAMA’S BOYby Lekuona

I want a man that loves me moreThan I love himYou roll your eyes againYou get confusedAnd want to run and hideI feel frustratedAnd a failure yet againCAUSE YOUR’E NOT FEELING SAFETO REVEAL YOURSELF FULLYI’M USING UP ALL MY STRENGTHOVER AND OVERYOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVEUNTIL IT’S GONEI’M SO FED UP WITH TAKINGTHE MOTHER ROLE

You’ve given up the wayThat takes you deep

This conversation doesn’t flowWe’re on the edge

I know you’ll never jumpIt’s just the way

you were brought upAND OUR DISCUSSIONS

TURN INTO MY LECTURESYOU’RE TOTALLY SHUT DOWN

NOT A BIG TALKERI GET INTO DRAMA

IT’S REACHED THE BOILING POINTBUT I DON’T DESERVE

A MAMA’S BOY

ON MY ROADby Lekuona

Every time I wake upI think about deathAnd I get ready to facethe unexpected dayDespite the pain and fearI don’t mind at allAs long as I feel I’m on my roadYou love me and you hate meevery once in a whileI’m so right and I’m so wrongfrom time to timeDespite the cries and tearsI don’t mind no moreAs long as I feel I’m on my road

THIS LIFE’S SO COLDI JUST NEED TO DRAIN MY HEART

WHEREVER I GOYOU KNOW, ALWAYS

I’M ON TOP AND THEN I’M DOWNBUT ON MY ROAD

HUMANITYby Lekuona To Amy

Darling, though you’d kept your soul Sailing the floodYou wouldn’t have found any loveThat could have held your head aboveAnd though you kept seeingThat blaze in the skyNo one could have ever driedYour ancient song and your green eyesCAUSE YOU FELT IT LIKE A FLOCK OF BIRDS DOAND THAT WAS FAR BEYOND BABEBEYOND YOUR TALENTCAUSE YOU, YOU LOOKED UP THE SAME WAY A CHILD WOULD DOAND TINY THINGS GET LOST WHEN THEY REACH THE UNIVERSE

Darling, no, there’s no more waking upFeeling dread

And no more blue shade in your bedYou are no more wasting your breath

No more blindnessStop rolling up the walls insideYou’re two birds now in paradise

You found the peace to calm your pride

COOL ARTISTby Lekuona

I’m not a cool artistI wake up before dawnI’ve got a healthy breakfastAnd I’m just ready to workI’m good at taping dataGet all the emails doneI can fix all your meetingsStill have time to make lunchI’m not a cool artistI multitask all the timeI’ve always had a good headOn my shoulders, said mumI can put that in writingI’m crystal clear, down to earthI never talk about meMy life’s pretty mundaneI’M NOT A COOL ARTISTNO, I’M NOT A COOL ARTISTI'VE NEVER BEEN A COOL ARTISTNO, I’M NOT A COOL ARTIST

I’m not a cool artistI don’t drink, I don’t smoke

Fashion bars make me boredI just start to yawn

I run come rain or shinelight or darkness, I run

I can put myself lastIf it’s good for us

I’m definetely not a cool artistI don’t attend events

I listen to the radio hitsMy friends aren't hipsters

I'm not known, don’t have prizesI get things rigth away

I can waste all the weekendGoogling things on the Net

NO, I'VE NEVER BEEN A COOL COOL ARTISTA COOL COOL ONE
