GREYSIGN (LYRICS)

GREYSIGN
(J.Palacio)
Date: March 2013, recorded and completed 2013-2015
-
It's been a wrong long way for me
It’s been a long cold day, I’ve become creepy
Yet, I won't give away to the grey around me
I won't wake in a haze of obscurity
-
And I just won't quit it, No
Now that I'm so close
And I just won't give it in, No
Even though I'm so bored
-
It’s been a long lack of love for me
It’s been so long since I've seen the sun, moon, the real me
-
And I just won't quit it now, No
Now that I'm so close
And I just won't give it in, No
Even though I'm so bored
-
And I just won't quit now, No
Brittle as I've been
And I just won't quit it now, No,
Bothered as I've been

SING AND SING SONGS
(J.Palacio) Jan 2013
-
I sing and sing my song
I hum away
Another tune
-
I sing and sing my song
I ease away
Some winter pain
-
Anguish tends to mend
Constant war takes a break
-
I'm so happy and free
I’m so happy and free
-
But it’s been a mission
With myself
And my decisions
With myself
And submission
With myself
-
I sing and sing my song
I hum away
Another tune
-
I sing and sing my song
Ease away
Some winter pain
-
Violent waves refrain
Avoiding the replay
-
I’ll be happy and free
I'll be happy you'll see
-
But it’s been a mission
With myself
And my decisions
They propel
My condition
With myself
-
I've kept busy
With myself
Renovation
With myself
Sing and sing songs
To myself

AFTERTHOUGHTS
(J.Palacio) Copyright August 2012
-
I can be alone
But never feel lonely
For the cure of loneliness is me
I always choose which way I weep
-
Runaway?
Or should I stay?
Anyway
So much to say
So far away
-
And those times I have wept
Will I take it to my grave?
I don't know which fear is worst
To be lonely or feel I've lost
-
Am I blind?
Are there signs?
Wake me up
I want to be
Where you want me
-
Runaway?
Or should I stay?
Anyway
Please let me know
Before I'm too old
Before I'm too old and young
-
I wanna live
Smile everywhere I go
I want to love
For the whole wide word
I want to laugh
Till I can't take it no more
I want to cry
-
So far away
Only which way?
I'm so alone
Only my Lord knows
-
So far away
Only which way?
I'm so afraid
Oh my God I pray!
-
So far and dark
Blind in my cave
I'm so confused
Lost In my Lord's maze

MISSING IN TIME
(J.Palacio) Dec 2012
-
Girl, I've grow up
Next to your side
Take that life  
Light a Flare?
-
Or will you let me
Burn now & inside out?  
But please don't let the
Dark rain kill my flame
A story unfolds
With secrets untold
Many signs we chose
To blind and ignore
-
Have I Evolved?
Or stagnant, still singing sappy songs?
My, how time goes so fast
But it feels so slow
-
Mia, I don't know
Who dealt the woes
All I’ve ever known
Is how the years have flown
-
Missing in time, am I really missing time?
Missing in time, am I missing life?
-
God I wish that you were mine
Instead you're leaving me behind
I wish for you all the time
I wish you find some peace in your life
I'll be passing by your life
Catch up in some other time

TRANSFIGURATION
(J.Palacio) Original Lyrics originated from July 12, 2002 
Recording started in May 1, 2011 with final vocals completed in 2015.
-
It was just like a dream
It was like a nightmare
One moment it was peaceful
The next minute it was painful
-
It was unbelievable
It was so destructible
One moment I was robot
The next minute I was human
-
I'm wailing away
-
Should l grow older and become grumpy?
But to laugh, we all get younger
To live each day with a smile on my face
-
It gives me proof of the magic that is God
To be human again, to be happy and free
-
I am sailing away instead of waiting
I am sailing far away instead of waiting
I am sailing and changing

TOO MUCH
(J.Palacio) April 2013
-
It's too much
Wonder why we wait so long
Later on we will complain
"I know I should have changed, good heaven!”
-
Now it’s too much
It’s too much
And it’s too much
-
Wonder why we are hesitating
Waiting so long, delaying
"I know I should have said something!”
-
But now it’s too much
It’s too much
-
Nothing ever seems to go undisturbed
Later on we will feel the wound
Of a scar thought to be healed, such blood staining!
-
Now it’s too much
It’s too much
-
Wonder why we wait so long
Later on we will want to reset
The good, the bad, and in between, but for right now
-
It ok!
It’s alright!
Not right now!
It’s too much!
-
And now the road has gone
Alone left for me to heal
Build now a new path, a new round
-
It's too much

BROTHERHOOD
(J.Palacio) Originated Dec 16, 2012. Copyright 2012-2015
-
Brotherhood, the Eye
Can never brace the disconnect
-
Brotherhood, Slink ways
Lives out a mandate to save the day
-
Brotherhood, befriend
While Squeeko creates and isolates
-
Brotherhood, mistakes
Everyone creates to meet their fate
-
One day the world will find a peace
And then we will live in it
-
Fulfilled in deeds but till the end
There's no way we can make it
-
Brotherhood, my only friends
Together we will win in the end
-
Brotherhood, my love
Extends beyond words that I won't say
Oh why?

THE CALL
(J.Palacio) November 2013 Copyright 2013-2015
-
FATHER LEADER:
Careful to be seen
Numb and discreet
So awaken in your sleep
Hiding in your cave
Away from the sounds of the day
That irritate a hidden pain
-
Mend your heart              
Don’t refuse it
-
SPIRAL EYE:
Must hold back
Or give it all
The worst is yet to come
-
Behold the hidden seed
That floats, yet in creed
Undiscovered is my bliss
-
Mend your heart
God bess your heart              
Don’t refuse it
-
MOTHER LEADER:
Late in your life
Between your own lives
A child at your heart
Then you won’t resent me
-
SPIRAL EYE:
Mend your heart
God bless your heart              
Don’t refuse it
Mend your heart
Tend to your heart
Change your heart
Don’t refuse it!
I want freedom
-
SPIRAL EYE:
Open eyes are pensive and anxious
Filled with traces of my passion
-
So much music, so much talent
Yet I'm a needle in a haystack
So many creatures, so many sounds
And I get lost in that crowd
-
Memories, it brings so much harmonies
It makes me want to sing melodies
And I want to relive those memories
Stories sound like romantic fantasies
Like the first day I kissed your lips
And I want to live those stories again
And the greatest challenge that I always face
Understand myself under the limitations
Plenty of years are always ahead
So much suffocation to give it any head
And a future time of peace
Makes me strong and makes me weak
When present peace does exist
In my mind and in my acts
-
Toda mi vida
Quise un poco de amor
Toda mi vida
Solo con mi dolor
Toda mi vida
Sin tu cariño
Si lo siento, si no te siento
-
Toda mi vida
Que paso con ese deber
Toda mi vida
Que paso con tu sonrisa?
Todo mi vida
Que paso en tu niñez?
Si lo siento, si no te siento

APOTHEOSIS
(J.Palacio) 3/15/2014 Copyright 2015
-
I don’t want to bring you down
I just want to set you free
Free to be, free to taunt my mind
Will I see you again?
Will you love me again?
-
I don’t want to be a downer
I don’t want to be crude
I just want to let my truth self show
Then I’ll see you again
Then you’ll love me again, again?
-
I don’t want to bring you down
I just want to wonder free
You’re free to be, free to cross my mind
Until I’ll see you again
And I’ll meet you again
-
I don’t want to be a downer
I don’t want to be crude
I just want to let my truth self show
Then I’ll see you again
Then you’ll love me again, again?
-
I don’t want to leave you
But I don’t want to let you down
I just want to see you
I just want to see you smile
Do you know the way that leads?
Do you hear the distant sounds?
I know my disabilities
Maybe next time around
I don’t want to leave you
But I don’t want to let you down
When I see you’re rising
I will witness your smile
