i'm scared to live but i'm scared to die
and if life is pain, then i buried mine
a long time ago but it's still alive
and it's taking over me, where am i?
i wanna feel something, i'm numb inside
but i dont feel nothing, i wonder why
i'm in the race of life and time passed by
look, i sit back and i watch it
hands in my pockets
waves come crashing over me but i just watch 'em
i just watch 'em
i'm underwater but i feel like i'm on top of it
i'm at the bottom but i don't know what the problem is
i'm in a box but i'm the one who locked me in
suffocating and i'm running out of oxygen
i'm paralyzed
Ever since Ermano pushed his step-dad off the top of the stairs - regardless whether or not it was to protect his mom - that teenager no longer felt … well, anything. That day played a huge role in who Ermano is today. Never did he believe he could be capable of taking a life and now Ermano makes up for it by helping everyone and anyone, even if he's saying no to himself. It truly is a growing internal battle especially in the world's current climate.
lately i've been wondering what's been going on
i've been here before but i don't remember when
and every time we get to where we're entering
i feel my beliefs and hopes surrendering
but i know i'll be coming home soon.
there did come a time during ermano's enlistment with the military when he questioned what he was even doing. soldier's eyes is the perfect song for that time in his life.
some people got the real problems
some people out of luck
some people think i can solve them
lord heavens above
im only human after all.
every now and then ermano questions if he is worthy enough to be part of the council, if jason chose right.
if the stars fall down on me
and the sun refused to shine
then may the shackles be undone
may all the old words cease to rhyme
if the sky turned into stone
it will matter not at all
for there is no heaven in the sky
hell does not wait for our downfall
ermano never believed in a god. but there were times he'd ask the heavens why his life was always so hard. why him? a mental battle rages occasionally, especially growing up with a religious mother who prayed every night.
the only words you've said
is, 'i like it when you hug me
'cause i kind of feel you love me'
girl, i've never, never loved you
but something when wrong
like our colors faded
can you feel it in the air?
and in the way you're staring, babe.
the song for maggie, his ex-wife who he will always love for as long as his heart beats. ermano knows she's with someone else, and when he saw her again he breathed a sigh of relief. but they had been separated for too long and he understands that. @maggievasco

can a princess dress in black?
a tiara's not part of my zodiac
i need to say goodbye to my childhood
cause now i think the poison apple tastes so good.
charming boys are getting old
when they kiss me they turn to toads
i never throw away my voice
for someone else if i had the choice
and dad i know you must feel like chapedo
but i stand so much taller in my stilettos
the villain's still somebody's little girl
so let me put down my crown and twirl
cinderella's dead
cinderella's dead
my glass carriage is a piece of fruit
and i dont need a man in a black tie suit
cinderella's gone.
mayra never truly felt like a child with how hard her parents pushed her into studies and piano and ballet and everything else. when she finally broke free and went to college, she believed she'd be able to live a free life. that was until one of her college professors took advantage of her. from that moment on mayra never felt like herself. still, to this day, the woman questions every decision - every choice. every step taken was followed with countless of questions.
but i got a girl who can put on a show
the dollar decides how far you can go with her
she wraps those hands around that pole
she licks those lips and off we go
and she takes it off nice and slow
'cause it's pornstar dancing
she don't play nice, she makes me beg
and she drops that dress around her legs
and im sitting right by the stage
for this porn star dancing
after mayra's assault, she disappeared. no one knew where the woman went. there was a missing person's report made by her parents and everything. really, the woman found her family's tribe in canada and learned their ways. mentally she needed to heal, physically she needed to no longer feel his hands on them. after five years mayra finally felt a sliver of 'okay'. she returned to her city of philadelphia and changed woman. getting into dancing at the gentleman's club was more her way of taking control back of her body; no one touched her without permission. and if they did, the club's owner made sure to deal with them.
like a small boat on the ocean
sending big waves into motion
like how a single word can make a heart open
i might only have one match but i can make an explosion
and all the things i didn't say
wrecking balls inside my brain
i will scream them loud tonight
can you hear my voice this time?
it took many years for mayra to feel comfortable in her own skin again, but the moment she did, there was no going back. she fights every day for herself, especially when it comes to others. she's still a very intelligent person despite not holding a career that said so.
oh, sometimes i pray for you at night
someday, maybe you'll see the light
oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
but some things only god can forgive
i hope you're somewhere praying, praying
i hope you're soul is changing, changing
i hope you find your peace falling on your knees
praying
eventually came that day when mayra realized she was healed enough to … not forgive the man who assaulted her, but enough to say 'i hope you have the life you deserve' and move on. that day came a few weeks before the viral outbreak happened.
i am woman, i am fearless
i am sexy, i'm divine
i'm unbeatable, i'm creative
honey, you can get in line
i am feminine, i am masculine
i am anything i want
i can teach you, i can love you
if you got it going on.
self-explanatory.
