Human 04:18
I'll make this mess just to clean it up Spill over heads with the second cup I never looked for tidy or wanted to finish it up I've heard the warning and it isn't enough I find purpose in losing ground You can call me human and remake the sound I'll take the sweetness you won't stomach and salt the veins Let the thought of it spill again just to carry the stain I'll overstate the damage and come clean again I find purpose in losing ground You can call me human and remake the sound I'm telling in freedom and yelling about what I found It's telling that makes me, that is selling the sound It's not that I'm different, yes I am the same With trouble seeing past what you'd expect me to see It's not that I'm different yes I am the same With trouble learning beyond what it means to me I find purpose in losing ground You can call me human and remake the sound I'm telling in freedom, yelling about what I found It's telling that makes me, that is selling the sound It's not that I'm different, yes I am the same Call me human, blame me again

Arms held up clapping for your flickered hands Each place I reach let me be there just as much as I could plan And you're on the ground I could Looking for me and where I land I'm on an eye-lit voyage I am spinning for shape The bottom is lifting And the balloon will take Flames to the air, we'll be lighter than our surroundings Higher than all your favourite clouds Aiming right, still caught in my middle man Who is this other one I'm meant to be Time with you is slender brittle And you never know enough I'm on an eye-lit voyage I am spinning for shape The bottom is lifting And the balloon will take Flames to the air, we'll be lighter than our surroundings Higher than all your favourite clouds Flames to the air, when we're lighter than our surroundings Higher than those unwavering clouds In the imaginary memory And your patient hands Your words made hollow By this silver sand I'm on an eye-lit voyage I am spinning for shape Flames to the air, we'll be lighter than our surroundings Higher than all your favourite clouds Flames to the air, till we're lighter than Glide on through all your favourite clouds Flames to the air, we'll be lighter than our surroundings Higher than your most dangerous clouds

Carol, we've got a new arrival, you said it's your first grey hair And you named it after me After all, there'll be no more survival, no overturn revival No turtle here to blame, now disintegration came To be there Is nothing but everything Over rocks, we're grieving for the spinal, harder fragile truth To change that water, to clean a missing tooth Like Milka's tears we're filling with an empty Kind of loss for what we never had in you To be there Is nothing but everything What we've found is hiding in the memory And underneath the sound Turtles won't disintegrate but they do waiting well To be there Is nothing but everything

Did you ever discover just where we'd be If I was ever to give you everything Ooooo Everything means nothing but how we'd act Once we uncovered what we can't take back Ooooo And what's left to be made of. Everyday in a hurry I am the sea Trying to spill inside of me You're a visitor often for me to be The help that's in you if I ever need Oooo Are you the kind that gets crowded by the ideas you hadn't found Do you feel less than what's left to be made of Did you ever discover just where we'd be If I was ever to give you everything Everything Is nothing Less than What you mean to me Oooo

about

I wrote these songs in November 2019 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. They were recorded with my dear friend and producer Leonardo Marques and local gifted musicians Bernardo Bauer (bass, vocals), Fabio Ogata (French Horn), Felipe D'Angelo (Keys, vocals), Matheus Felix (violin) and Pedro Hamdan (Drums). I write the songs, sing and play nylon string guitar.
