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
    S
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
