1. UNTIL THE MORNING
[Songwriters: Garza, Robert; Hilton, Eric; Torrini, Emiliana;]
I keep on fear, keep on loathing
Nothing brings it on I keep on falling
Decide what it is, I cannot find
It's subsides, what you make it
Never feel like you're gonna break it
It's gonna be alright, alright
Sleep until the morning comes
The sun will warm your soul
Sleep until the morning comes for you, okay yeah
'Til the morning it's alright
I can walk into the sunlight
Into the day, into the day, to the day
I feel it falling, nothing comes to my mind
Bring it on in a different tide
I feel alright, alright, now
I feel strong, I feel rigid
It's nothing to do with the vision
Oh, feels so right, so right
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep until the sunlight, sleep until sunlight
Sleep on tight, sleep on tight
Sleep on tight
Sleep on tight, 'til the sunlight
Sleep on tight, 'til the sunlight burns you happy
'Til the sunlight burns you happy
'Til the sunlight burns a happy hole in your heart
In your heart
In your heart
In your heart

3. ALL THAT WE PERCEIVE
[Songwriters: Garza, Robert M; Hilton, Eric;]
Everything that's real and everything unrealized
All infinity starts falling from your eyes
We are fluid dreams, vivid memories
All uncertainty leads to eternity
All that we perceive in every mystery
Who are we? What we see? Oh, I can't comprehend
Who are we? What we see? Whoa, I can't comprehend
Illuminating love falls from the skies
To water the illusions in our eyes
All that we desire is all we fear
All our aspirations grow unclear
We feel endlessly, beyond all gravity
Who are we? What we see? Oh, I can't comprehend
Who are we? What we see? Whoa, I can't comprehend

4. WARNING SHOTS
They try their best just to mash up the resistance
Warning shots and sirens from a distance
Riot gear and barricade for an instance
And the words from mY mouth, my new response
Hollywood sending signals of destruction
Stereotype the ghetto youths as the bad man
Overcome the rough times and we grow strong
Step up in a life, now them want to shake we hand
We are eternal, made of the creator
Won't fall to the soul-less devastators
Divide and conquer, and try to separate us
Up to this day, them still try to rape us

6. SHADOWS OF OURSELVES
Mechanical heart where are your batteries ?
Lost in a world totally stranger
What is the reason for all these lies
We don't have the right to withdraw anymore
I do not have time to panic
To save us from ourselves
I do not have time to panic
To save us from ourselves
What is this intoxication that pulls us
From where come all these words that attack me
Incomplete pleasures that bewitch me
We don't have the right to close these doors anymore
I do not have time to panic
To save us from ourselves
I do not have time to panic
To save us from ourselves
To save us from ourselves
To save us from ourselves

7. SWEET TIDES
[Songwriters: Garza, Rob; Ghelickhani, Lou Lou; Hilton, Eric;
It took so long for me to realize
How strong your heart is
And all this time
My mind was working in strange ways
Looking back on the days, just wanna be free
Through the love in your eyes
Now I'm staring inside, just wanna be free
Through the love in your eyes
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sharp turn, my mind is a blur
Slow passage through the air
Looking back on the days
All over your mind, just wanna be free
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
It took so long for me to realize
How strong your heart is
And all this time
My mind was working in strange ways
Sharp turn, my mind is a blur
Slow passage through the air
Looking back on the days
All over your mind, just wanna be free
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of
Sweet tides, pools of love
Your eyes are full of

8. VAMPIRES
[Songwriters: Garza, Rob; Hilton, Eric;]
They'll gain the world but lose their souls
They'll gain the world but lose their souls
Don't believe politicians and thieves
They want our people on their bended knees
Pirates and robbers, liars and thieves
You come like the wolf but dressed like the sheep
If you go to Lagos what you find, vampires
If you go to Kinshasa what you find, vampires
If you go to Darfur what you find, vampires
If you go to Malabo what you find, vampires
Lies and theft
Guns and debt
Life and death
IMF
When the bank man comes to your door
Better know you'll always be poor
Bank loans and policies
They can't make our people free
You live on the blood of my people
Everyone knows you've come to steal
You come like the thieves in the night
The whole world is ready to fight
If you go to Lagos what you find, vampires
If you go to Kinshasa what you find, vampires
If you go to Darfur what you find, vampires
If you go to Malabo what you find, vampires
Lies and theft
Guns and debt
Life and death
IMF
They'll gain the world but lose their souls
They'll gain the world but lose their souls
You live on the blood of my people
Everyone knows you've come to steal
You come like the thieves in the night
The whole world is ready to fight
If you go to Lagos what you find, vampires
If you go to Kinshasa what you find, vampires
If you go to Darfur what you find, vampires
If you go to Malabo what you find, vampires
Lies and theft
Guns and debt
Life and death
