Everything I Thought I Knew

This is our first album. It contains songs we had written and arranged during our first six years as a band. We recorded it and mixed ourselves little by little during a whole year. We sent it to Mexico to have it mastered and only 150 physical copies were pressed in CD. The cover photo was taken by Alejandro Díaz Escalonilla in our hometown, Talavera.

  1. Nothing
    03:05
    There’ll be no summer this year.
    I heard it on the news today.
    But for me it’s no big deal.
    I knew it all along
    and I’m used to the rain.

    Now there’s nothing you could give me
    that it’s worth my precious time
    because everything you promised was a lie.
    Now there’s nothing you could tell me
    that could make me change my mind.
    I know I won’t find my way looking behind.

    Some say clouds are drawing near.
    All I feel is wind of change.
    I have nothing more to fear.
    It’s not because I’m strong,
    it’s ‘cause my interest’s waned.
  2. Revenge
    02:33
    You say “c'est la vie” but I know life's not fair,
    don't ask for forgiveness you're not gonna change,
    every time I see you I see fear on your face
    'cause deep inside we both know I'll have revenge.

    I've had enough of you

    and maybe
    I'm the one who's crazy
    but I'll have no mercy.
    You will be dead soon.
    Your fat limbs will feed the streets
    and I'll uncork champagne
    to celebrate your doom.

    Your thick red blood, the rain and your childish cry
    blacken the concrete and confuse my eyes.
    Since I've dreamed about this like one million times,
    I don't know if it's real or all in my mind.
  3. Honest Mistake
    03:26
    I went to find the wizard
    so he could give me courage.
    All I found was a bar
    and now everything's blurry.

    I am meeting you now
    so we can set things clear.
    I don't know what will happen,
    I just know this ends here.

    And every time I see you
    I just can't read the signs
    'cause you're too fucking complicated.
    But I'm taking the leap
    and if I got you wrong,
    it's an honest mistake I'm making.

    We're face to face again,
    I don't know what you want.
    I know you read my mind,
    but I can't read yours.

    It's a fact that we're friends,
    but I want much more.
    There is an awkward silence
    and your look's my weak spot.
  4. Postcards to Myself
    03:01
    you're looking rusty and old
    once you shined now you're done
    all your life treasured as gold
    hangs in photos on your wall

    you're regretting everything
    you thought of but never did
    you tell me I gotta learn
    not to make the same mistakes

    and I will take a plane and travel round the world
    and then I'll send some postcards to myself
    of every place to prove that I was there
    to prove myself that I have really lived

    you're looking calm and wise
    living the end of your life
    I'm taking heed. I do it proud
    I promise I won't let you down

    you're regretting everything
    you thought of but never did
    you tell me I gotta learn
    not to make the same mistakes
  5. Back in Town
    03:04
    I've seen you around.
    For the first time in years
    you're back in town.
    And you looked down
    dodging my sight but smiling
    bringing back our
    old memories from the lost and found.

    We hid in your mezzanine,
    between cars, in parking lots,
    sins will never be redeemed
    but I cherish them like gold

    When I see these days are long gone
    I realize that we're both getting old.
    Things will never be the same.
    It's been too long since we lost our innocence.

    You've seen me around.
    For the first time in years
    I'm back in town.
    And I looked down
    dodging your sight but smiling
    bringing back our
    old memories from the lost and found.

    For you I'll always yearn.
  6. Release Me
    03:36
    Last night when we were on the bridge
    the city lights were dim
    the clock ticked slowly

    I was afraid of everything
    afraid of you and me
    you didn't seem to care

    I wonder why I was so numb,
    I feel so strange everytime you're around

    'cause something has changed
    I am not the same
    something's wrong inside my head
    I know you're to blame
    you've poisoned my brain
    with hugs and hopes and smiles
    when I was in pain

    Five years since I last felt like this
    I'm trembling on my knees
    disarmed, absent and weak

    I don't know what you've done to me
    it burns inside my skin
    so please, please, release me

    If you can see the way I feel,
    stop this fucking game or make it real
  7. Violence
    02:34
    Spent the day in bed.
    I'm so fucking bored.
    My guitar's collecting dust
    and I have run out of chords.

    There's so much to do,
    and nothing at all.
    I need something else tonight
    'cause I'm fed up of this world.

    There is a hole growing inside my head.
    It tells me I need to get my dose
    of violence.

    I'm in a weird mood
    and I can't control
    all the darkness in my head
    that's starting to unfold.

    And I bite my tongue
    trying to kill my thoughts
    but a switch has flicked inside of my head
    with the taste of blood.
  8. Seasons Change
    04:05
    You say you can't find a reason,
    at least not one good enough,
    that could explain any of the stupid things that I do
    or justify why I don't seem to grow up.

    I will never learn from any of my past mistakes
    and I can't fix the things I've wronged the bridges burned.
    I know myself, I'll do it time and time again
    'cause seasons change, but I remain the same.

    I think that I simply like it
    or so they've told me a million times.
    And I won't change just 'cause you tell me that I have to.
    I won't change because I like the way I am.
  9. Something More
    03:08
    Your indiference is what hurts me the most
    I feel like a thief that steals kisses from you
    And even though you're with me and that's all I've dreamed of
    I believe that you could give me something more

    And if you let me
    I'd give you everything and maybe
    I would feel that I'm not better off alone
    'cause I think we were much better
    before when we weren't together
    sometimes you even showed me a little bit of love

    Too many temptations and I can't give in.
    I can't sleep and my brain is working full-time.
    I don't know why but I have always liked strange girls
    For bad or good you're the strangest I could find.

    And if you let me
    I'd give you everything and maybe
    I would feel that I'm not better off alone
    'cause I think we were much better
    before when we weren't together
    sometimes you even showed me a little bit of love

    So please smile, cry or hit me
    Show me everything you've got
    'cause I've given you my insides
    and you haven't showed me yours

    and I think you're with me because
    You have nothing else to do.
    But I hold onto this fact
    'cause there is nothing I want more than you
  10. Play the Game
    03:32
    I can barely see your face
    but I'm sure that you've been crying.
    Fake a smile, play the game.
    You're much better off without him.

    Maybe it doesn't make much sense
    but we're here, using each other
    We're leading ourselves astray
    but I need something until
    I can find my own way.

    Please hurt me more
    but gimme a little love
    Our beaten souls
    need a lover

    I feel no shame
    I feel nothing. No regrets
    'cause she took my black heart away
    You feel the same.
    You're eyes show nothing but hate
    but I won't ask because I'm here to play.

    Someday I will be OK
    I don't know if you'll recover
    am I selfish if I say
    that if I don't need you again
    I will leave you in your own pain

    Please hurt me more
    but gimme a little love
    I'll hurt you too
    before it's over

    I feel no shame
    I feel nothing. No regrets
    'cause she took my black heart away
    You feel the same.
    You're eyes show nothing but hate
    but I won't ask because I'm here to play.

    It's only temporary
    No love, no shame, no feelings. Nothing.
    It's only entertainment
    It's only entertainment. Nothing more.
  11. No Way Out
    02:48
    The same streets under my feet,
    the ones I swore I'd leave.
    Well, I was wrong
    because I have drown deep in
    this bricks and mortar sea
    and now I know

    there's no way to get out of here
    You're always dragged back to this town

    'cause not long ago I went
    to the horizon and back
    to find myself.
    All the dreams that I once had
    the ones I've given up.
    They were nowhere.

    Now I see it. I finally see it clear.
    All I've built are castles in the air.
    Now I see it. Where I belong is here.
    All I've built are bridges to nowhere.
  12. Everything I Thought I Knew
    03:38
    I thought I was shatter-proof
    until I saw my first bruise.
    I was scared for a while,
    then I ordered some more booze.

    As I took the first sip
    suddenly ten years passed by
    and I wondered again
    “What's my purpose in this life?”

    What can I do when everything real fades away?
    I could ignore it, but I rather lead the way,
    'cause I'm just a loner and I'm not a hero
    but I guess I could pretend.
    It seems getting old is falling from grace.

    I thought I was shatter-proof
    until I saw my first bruise.
    Now I'm proud of my scars
    like a kid with shiny shoes.

    Oblivious to painless threats,
    my joy has always endured
    since I got to forget
    everything I though I knew.

    When the landscape looks so stark
    than even the light looks dark.
    When you don't know who you are.
    You just need a little spark.
