Three Stanzas 02:43
lyrics
buy track
There isn't much you can misread The flames light up the crimes you can't un-see A coward kills a man pleading, "I can't breathe!" What else to say when you've lived the dream It's hard to live in color in this stolen land It's hard to live in color in this whitewashed land I want to be able to feel some sense of hope But it feels as though we're living pre-64 I went to bed knowing about the murder I went to bed understanding the pain I went to bed hoping to sleep I wanted a living nightmare, but not for me I want for Lady Justice to do her job I want for Lady Justice to do her job I want for Lady Justice to do her job Just move quickly and condemn those killer cops

How I Wish I Could (feat. Tovë) 03:23
lyrics
buy track
The night arrived Like yesterdays Full of screams Full of pains I see no stars Lighting up the way No, I'm not lost I just don't know how to escape And I hear my name But no one's around Yes, I wonder Can god make out the sound? And the river flows But it doesn't move These rocks it carries Tell the story I wish I could Oh, how I wish I would Who do I blame? When the tears that fall Resemble the tears I cried When everything was my fault I try to forget I try to go numb But this wind brings back a memory That had gone I don't know when I don't know how But suddenly it feels like moving up Is coming down And so I stay Watching a smiling moon That reminds me that I once also could Oh, how I wish I would The earth feels cold Against my cheek Seeing the sunrise I feel a weight lifted from me And I want to go Yes, I want to leave This fear you summon me with Can't be stronger than me Yes, I am afraid But this can't go on I refuse to live a life That I don't want Yes, I am afraid But I'm also strong And I choose to fight To become the woman I was Before the screams Before the pains Before the shame And the self-hate I just want to be

A Song For You 02:28
lyrics

I don't need to see you in color To feel your rainbow's shine and trace it back to your heart of gold I don't need to see you smiling To know how brightly beautiful the day dresses when you do I wanna see you happy, as happy can be I hope you know I want that with or without me I don't mean to water down what it is I feel for you For it's true Yes, I love you as I say that I do I don't need to see the candle burn To appreciate the warmth I feel (Hey, babe) when I am with you I don't need to know who took the photograph To know they captured a wishful dream when they captured you I wanna see you happy, as happy can be I hope you know I want that with or without me I don't mean to water down what it is I feel for you For it's true Yes, I love you as I say that I do

Última en Llegar 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Estoy pensando en ella La última en llegar Todavía no muere sol Y sigo aquí sin parar Los espíritus no escapan Los atrapo y se me van Hasta el fondo de las entrañas De esta jaula de cristal Se despide como una ola De tormenta tropical Que llega y te lleva Sin darte tiempo de nadar Te digo que no se Mi memoria sigue fallando Solo se que este muerto Sigue resollando La primera en salir ¿Qué más puedo decir? La primera en salir ¿La botella tendrá su fin? O será que mejor Voy cambiandole de sabor Para así mirar mi luna Sonreirle al pecador Hace tiempo que perdió La razón mi guitarrón Quedo igual que su dueño Buscando solo ilusión Como le haremos Para guardar aquellos versos Aquellos versos regalados a los Difuntos nuestros

about

Unlike with my previous recordings, there's no overarching theme accompanying this EP. Each song covers a different topic. And yes, like the title suggests, all four tracks were recorded in December 2021.

Regarding the cover art (or lack of), I found it difficult to concentrate on anything too complicated after becoming a parent. I'm not complaining. Being a dad's great!

A diferencia de mis grabaciones anteriores, no hay un tema general que acompañe a este EP. Cada canción trata un tema diferente. Y sí, como sugiere el título, las cuatro canciones se grabaron en diciembre de 2021.

Con respecto a la portada (o la falta de ella), me resultó difícil concentrarme en algo demasiado complicado después de convertirme en padre. No me estoy quejando. ¡Ser papá es genial!
