Heavy FM Damage Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus Under a bone white sky The clouds united Why can't I? I will stay with you tonight OK? Everything changes Judgement Day Something remains I lost my way Something remains I lost my way I can’t wait I can’t wait If I had a hole in my head For all the pressure to be set free All of those dusty memories inside They could get outside finally Something remains I lost my way Something remains I lost my way I can’t wait I can’t wait I lost my way I lost my way All my dreams could fly away I've got a golden key To the invisible gate I can't be late I can’t be late I can't wait

Us + The Bad Past Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus You say that you've had it Give until you can't take it no more No more music after two Listening to someone Singing the blues I don't wanna sink that low Without having to think I felt so sick last night at the show I saw you there and I want you to know It's really nothing In the end it's nothing really You say that you've had it Give until you can't take it no more No more music after two Listening to someone singing the blues Between us and the bad bad past Between here and a cold cold heart Between us and the bad bad past Between here and a cold cold heart The bad past The bad past The bad past

Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus Your body is not your body Close your eyes Your feelings do not feel like your feelings Close your eyes Your mind is not your mind I just want what is mine It's easy if you let me Close your eyes Existence Existence Existence Nonexistence Nonexistence You look into the looking glass And your reflection it stares back at you You are caught between the light in the back that connect you Your face doesn't look like your face anymore Choose the words that you will choose to use against me Your life is not your life It's easy if you let me Close your eyes Existence Existence Existence Nonexistence Nonexistence It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night It gets so dark at night

Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus What would you say If the war was over today? Would you quit your job And meet me in the Sea of Tranquillity? Will you Will you call If I If I fall tonight? Tonight Tonight The seasons turn to dust No stars No moon No shadow afternoon You might catch something if you risk To steal me with a kiss Bring me a tape of your latest 4 track end of the world You might have picked up on a hint That I dropped Crawl under your fence from a cop That I told off It's the end of the world Leaves Jet stream Sweat dream Can I corrode your rust? Tonight Tonight The seasons come undone No stars No moon No comets on the run Tonight Tonight No burning midnight sun You might catch something that I missed Seal me with a kiss Bring me a tape of your latest You might have picked up on a hint that I dropped Crawl under your fence From a cop that I told off It's the end of the world Will you Will you call? If I If I fall? Tonight Tonight What would you say Tonight Tonight If the war was over today?

Moonbeam King Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus Check out What's going on Below us Searchlight No sign of life Above us The the white noise On the black road But your eyes are closed Eyes are closed Don't get scared Don't be afraid I might be hearing impaired For the rest of my days You and me A real time Hitchhike a ride To see the Moonbeam King He knows everything You and me A real time Hitchhike a ride To see the Moonbeam King He knows everything Between nowhere and the night There's nowhere to go But you gotta cut through You gotta get to the searchlight And there's white noise all around me The window's open wide But your eyes are closed Don't get scared Don't be afraid I might be hearing impaired for the rest of my days You and me A real time Hitchhike a ride To see the Moonbeam King He knows everything You and me A real time Hitchhike a ride To see the Moonbeam King He knows everything

Apemen At Sea Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus Northwest Monsoon Northwest monsoon Too cold to enjoy the view The clouds hang Like ancient gods for you and me For me and you Infinity Between the forest and the sea There's a space of land That's not far to reach If it's out of reach Let's reach for it Ape-men at sea Ape-men at sea Ape-men at sea The stars that hang in the sky That guide us through history My stream of consciousness is fucked Am I out of luck? Do starfish dream? Have you seen her? I'm searching for my love So I’ll ask around She's got hair of green And eyes of gold Her skin is somewhere in between It's cold cream Breath hot like steam Her words infinity History What you done for me? History What have you done to me? What you done to me? History What have you done for me? What you done to me? What you done to me? What you done for me lately, huh? Under the sea Under the sea That's where you'll find me That's where I want to be Under the sea Under the sea Under the sea Under the sea Searching for my love Five ape-men at sea Ape-men at sea Ape-men at sea Ape-men at sea

Hold Still Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus Hold still Hold still while I peel away I'd like to see you after five Instant replay rewound rewind Remind me of what it means to be alive Sound Sound No sound is the sound Of the blood encircling your heart I'd like to draw a chart And hang it on the wall In orange and blue Because opposites reflect It's the sound background of my dream soundtrack What say you about this war amour It's more than war or flood or fire Don't let it fall apart If blood could speak we'd have a brand new start Clear the air All is fair in love and war and art It's the sound background of my dream soundtrack It's the sound background of my dream soundtrack Hold still Hold still so I can breathe your breath Hold still so while I steal your sight Hold still and make a move Make a move Voice: You and me Infinity Were walking in the sand The land no land no sand No air just glass lots of unbroken glass Smooth creamy glass You and I were celluloid silhouettes Creeping on the soil like crabs From the depths of the dark black sea Where sharks asleep Are dreaming bloody dreams So they can be at peace With their teeth and scaly skin That cuts like glass No matter what it's you and me And the blood in between us inbetween The river of life is full of lotus leaves Dragon flies and fish of gold Are cutting creamy passageways In the gelatinous mazey labyrinth The inner space that fills our heads Behind tired lids is a magnetic field Shadowy rings that multiply And never return to home base We create to steal each others' hopes and fears And dreams and return with them in hand Like thieves repenting Sending waves of phosphorescent desire Fire Fire that falls down from the sky And touches you right between the eyes With a heavenly kiss you will know my love is true Opposite windows are open And over the horizon Is a bloody moon Second voice: Prove yourself to yourself but not to me I believe I trust in you, I lust for you Hold still So I can touch your touch it's too much, It's too much It's such a rush tonight is the night Just you and I, my eye = your eye like rain, like fog, like dew, Like cool sustain Like everything turns into you A film slow motion rolls, Movement is such a steady pulse It softly whispers in my head The sweat that buzzes behind tired lids That sound, that sound, That sounds coming back again Coming back again coming back again I don't want to be a friend I want it all, I want you And your everything It's the sound background of my dreamy soundtrack The trail that marks your place in time It's so sublime so like life but not So caught up in sleep My deep down gut feeling Is speaking It's talking to me and you are fast asleep, Climbing peaks, sailing seas, puncturing The sky Bending time The depths are not out of reach If you let me I'll Be your tongue your lung Your heart Your only one Your burning cloud your Mourning shroud your seasons burn Your crazy love Oh let me be your blood I'll take you away like a flood

Here We Come To Your City Words by Paul Streckfus Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus We drive drive drive drive Drive drive drive all night just to get here We're here for you, are you here for us? Oh it feels so good to get outside of the bus Now come outside now come alive Slip on your shadow Reach inside of yourself Now put it on Feels so good to come outside I set my distant foot on your alien soil You know my blood did not boil no no no no no no no I found some oxygen. It's my best friend And I found you Don't look right through me like I'm a ghost Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you So don't take back the welcome mat that you stuck out No no no no Don't take back what you wrote when You wrote I'm yours I'm yours so come on Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here I am for you Can you hear me? Here we come to your city Is this how you spend your days? Your face is so pretty But my eyes can not penetrate DOUBLE GTR SOLO Here we come to your city Is this how you spend your days? Your face is so pretty But my eyes can not penetrate Here we come to your city Is this how you spend your days? Your face is so pretty But my eyes can not penetrate Here we come to your city Excuse me if I'm in a daze Your face is so pretty But my eyes can not penetrate Here we come to your city Excuse me if I'm in a daze Your face is so pretty But my eyes can not penetrate This song is just a come on So come on come on Just a come on I’m yours Come on come on Come on here we come Here we come Here we come Here we come
