A Brief Encounter With Myself (Live in Mexico City, 2022) Video (MV)

They told me I could fly
That I could become anyone I want
Be anything I liked
But now I realize that it was just a lie
Shadows gathering
In the horizons of my dream
Darkness shrouds my world
In eternal slumber
Eternal slumber
I left my family and friends
And they didn't care at all
Silence is the only way I can be happy
I've been lost and confused
And now I feel like I'm too small
And now it's been too long
I am
No one
Please just sing to me
Until I get to sleep
They've been
Burdened by my constant cries for help
I am
No one
Please just sing to me
Until I get to sleep
They've been
Burdened by my constant cries for help
It's been quite a journey
It's been quite a story
But it's time to close the book
Staring eyes, ruthless judge
Feeding off the thousand crimes I did before
Staring eyes, the perfect spies
Beholding my every move, my sleepless nights
Staring eyes, epitomize
The harsh mistakes I did for those who cared for me
Staring eyes, senseless grudge
Squaring off the pieces
Who am I, where am I going now?
We're pawns of this big game
You'll fall to rise again
Falling, rising
Who are these men you see?
They're all you hoped to be!
Mirrors speaking
Swimming in a sea of bad decisions
I come to understanding with my fate
Beams of colors scattering in the water
And all I see's my life shining through
Staring eyes, unnerving sight
Clouding my deepest thoughts, the dying light
Staring eyes, a look of spite
Tainting the worlds of choice, provoking fright
Staring eyes, like hunting mice
Watching my naked soul, deprived from might
Feelings march to battle as soldiers
While I finally wake from my slumber
These memories from the past
Some ghosts who ain't so bad
Old friends, old lies
My parents, they were right
These tears have cleared my eyes
Time to go back
Swimming in a sea of bad decisions
I come to understanding with my fate
Beams of colors scattering in the water
And all I see's my life shining through
Misery, the scent of clueless men
Loneliness, a concept that made no sense
Evil tongues, voiceless songs
I fly free, reaching for my dreams
Adversity was something just meant to be
Deadly fiends hardened my skin
I am me, crafted by my fears
All my slips show me which path to pick
Now I see, listen to me
I am someone
Who seized all of his ghosts
And somehow now belongs
And no one will ever trick me
This encounter was enlightenment
There are no certainties
But I have the strength to overrule
And countless souls are rushing through my eyes
My fate is the one I forge
I am me
I am here
