thirst (by deav)
Rio, Mar 2003
the awakening
drowning in a sea of faces
hardly keep my head above the surface
dreams of open spaces
dreams of lands where i can rest (stand)
surrounded by the treasures gathered
through the battles of existence
though i drink from wells of wisdom
never seem to quench the thirst
i keep on searching…
bluff with queens of hearts and aces
playing games that i can’t understand
dreams of balms of holy graces
wooden tree house by the sand
surrounded by the hearts i’ve conquered
through the dances of the souls
drink from chalices of freedom
never seem to quench the thirst
i keep on searching…
angels have no answers
promise keepers swear the oaths they mean to break
so i keep the search
till the day that i'm awake
i carry right ahead a chandelier or hows and whys
and a backpack full or tears and smiles
and songs i write …
till I find fountains of true love
maybe finally quench the thirst
i keep on searching…

lyrics #2
well, i guess the best way to publish my lyrics is one by one. i tried editing the lyrics post to include more songs, but i never get the blog thoroughly updated. maybe one by one will be better, i can find lyrics by the title. i'll think it over.

messing up
man!!??!! one of those days you wish you had stayed in bed! family... no matter how old you are, if you pay your own bills, if you live miles away, this energy, this scent, it reaches you and makes you feel down, all that crap you grew up with comes back to haunt you... fuck! and work... days like these make you feel like you were caught in the middle of a spider web, this net of litlle powers layered upon each other, and you just want to fucking work to earn the devil's gold that i'll keep you alive at some level of decency. why on earth should your computer freeze just when you need it the most, in a day like this? i need boxing classes! know for how long i've been trying to publish this very post? aaarrrrgggghhhhh! (sorry for the bad language)

lyrics
i decided to publish some of the lyrics of the songs i wrote. i resumed writing songs on a regular basis about a year ago. i call it the awakening, this phase i went through (also the title of the first album-to-be by portal): end of a long term relationship, the most public drunk shame, new job, new friends, new post graduation, new looks ... there's a second album-to-be already planned: exposed , which is exactly the phase i'm going through by now. i haven't decided if the lyrics will be organized by album or in cronological order of creation, i'll make it up as i go along.

read first
i'm working on a read first message about author's rights concerning the lyrics of my songs and trying to learn how to insert it into the blog, as a link or something (i live in a self-imposed digital exile, so this is my first experience on the net). it'll take some time because i'm really busy, so this is a preview:
portal is the name i chose for my band-to-be; i searched the net some time ago, there were not many portals, and just one brazilian band called portal do sol or something like that and they did axe music or pagode, nothing like i intend for my band (which is rock, by the way, something between dave matthews band and korn, passing through pearl jam ... whatever). please, don't use it!
my lyrics are protected by author's right (droit d'auteur), which is the system of legal protection in civil law countries which subscribed the union convention of berna (1886), according to which the act of registration is declarative of the existing right.
my lyrics, although not registered in any national or international organization of property rights, are also protected by copyright, which is the system of legal protection in common-law countries which subscribed the universal convention, according to which the act of registration (since 1976) is also declarative, not constitutive, of the existing right.
all this means that the lyrics were written by me and cannot be used for commercial purposes without my authorization and the due payment of royalties.
if you want to use them, ask me!
if you want to quote them, make a reference to the source (after all, that's what quoting means...)!
please, don't abuse them (i'll sue you)!
