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.

Nothing
03:05There’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. -
Revenge
02:33You 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. -
Honest Mistake
03:26I 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. -
Postcards to Myself
03:01you'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 -
Back in Town
03:04I'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. -
Release Me
03:36Last 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 -
Violence
02:34Spent 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. -
Seasons Change
04:05You 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. -
Something More
03:08Your 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 -
Play the Game
03:32I 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. -
No Way Out
02:48The 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. -
Everything I Thought I Knew
03:38I 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.
