Rara Sunt Cara 03:33
lyrics

With rose-tinted glasses Something's about to change in time The sun will blare upon us But only when the clouds pass by Scarcity mindset Don't let it last Rara sunt cara Don't let it pass Scarcity mindset Don't let it last Rara sunt cara Don't let it pass A shooting star glistens And flies by fast Rara sunt cara Don't let it pass

Until the Noise Stops 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Stand up for your rights No time to wait Find your voice It's time to scream Open the gates that block your way Plant the seed for free They've got the zeros stacking up All of the power All the luck Locked in a box with lies and hate Hope someday they find the key I don't know how I'm still trapped in here What a strange time Time to face my fears Beyond these walls Questions remain But I cannot answer anything Until the noise stops Until the noise stops Until the noise Until the noise stops Until the noise stops Until the noise stops No time to wait Stand up

I Don't Care (Anymore) 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Where's the love in this place? Everyone looks the same Tall, they stand like statues With their armour and their blade Who's to say they're not afraid? I don't care I don't care I can't change who I am Not for you Not for them The bigotry and violence Kept me trapped inside my head In the closet 'til I'm dead But that's not fair I don't care Anymore Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself Love yourself, don't lose yourself

It's a Scam! 03:39
lyrics
buy track
Don't got much money You still stole it from me I don't fear nobody But I fear what I can't see A lack of control With no place to go As you count your dollars soundly in your sleep Something felt funny When you laughed me off as a joke But I'm not just somebody I'll make sure you know The truth will unfold I'll cling onto hope As you count your dollars soundly in your sleep You greedy bastards I won't set you free Now I'm coming after you What if we all just lied? What if we didn't try? Boarding up all your walls Won't save you from the fall I won't wait one more day You'll pay Trust me Someday Someway Make no Mistake Time to run away

Together We Grow 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Let the man go Are you a lost soul? Who do you think you are? They say Justice is blind But she's gotta see this Serve and protect us all The truth will be told Take off your knee We'll take our voice back And sing for our hearts to be set free This mad world sees red With all of its violence What's the colour of change? The system must choke Together we grow (Grow, grow, grow, grow) In time, we will know For justice For peace Stand up Let's go

Sogni D'oro 05:21
lyrics
buy track
I played for you on every Monday Played you songs and sang you melodies Stashed away Inside a cave Not far from home And I'll play to This empty room And hope you hear Sang for you on every Monday One last song and one last melody But still, I'll play to This empty room And hope you hear And I'll try to Shed some light On darkness Allow only the good to reign in you And act so that only the good reigns I'll live by what you lived for here on Earth Pace e amore Sogni d'oro, Nonno

Please Don't Disappear 02:52
lyrics
buy track
You found me when I was haunted by ghosts You saved me from what I feared the most And heaven sent an angel Restored the hope I lost long ago And now that I know I'll never let you go For all I lack, you fill in the space You know me well Much more than my frame And as do I, my dear I know you well Much more than your fears And now that you're here Please don't disappear

Let's Play 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Hey Hey Hey Hey Picture us in our hometown When we used to stay up night and day We were dumb We were loud And we had all the time to waste But now we live so far away I fear we grow further apart each day Let's play Let's play Play Play Play Play If I could go back and change how I had treated us Maybe you'd still be here Maybe it would be enough Listen I know we're fine But some days I miss you like hell When I reminisce on lighter times But I'm glad you're doing well We'll get by just fine on separate sides in the end But as we grow up Let's keep in touch, my friend We'll be just fine Here comes the bassline We live so far away I miss us in our hometown When we used to hang out every day I know we're fine It's just that I wish you'd still be here

Sinking Slowly 02:12

I'm alive I'm a weapon you've made You can hide But I won't stop searching Aboard on the ship and we're sinking Aboard on the ship and we're sinking I'm the sun I'm the start to your day You can run I'll be lighting the way Aboard on the ship and we're sinking Aboard on the ship and we're sinking Give me one more try I'm your bed when you can't go I'm the rope when you sink so I'm the one who will make you I'm the one who will make you I'm the one who will kill you I I'm your bed when you can't go I'm the rope when you sink so I'm the one who will make you I'm the one who will kill you I'm the end of your thought so I'm the friend who just won't go I'm the one who will make you Make you Make you Make you Dead I'm your bed when you can't go to sleep I'm the rope when you're sinking so deep I'm the one who will make you complete I'm the one who will make you complete I'm the end of your thought when you can't speak I'm the friend who will validate your beliefs I'm the one who will make you complete I'm the one who will make you

Safety Net 01:23
lyrics
buy track
You're my safety net You're the trap I set For when I fall I know you'll be right there Still there Sinking through the floor I still rise up for more To live To exist Am I even living if you're the only air I breathe? I don't mind feeling pain if it means leaving you Because at the end of the day You're a toxic game to play For my body I'm so sorry

Hello Dear Fear 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Hello dear fear I wake up somedays With sweat on my face Some nightmare I dreamt Where I'm running all day And chasing away The life that I craved And buried my dreams Guess I'm afraid of Who I will be Like "who is this man Staring right through me?" With those hollow eyes "You look dead inside" I'm trying to freeze My heart on my sleeve Hello dear fear You've made me so boring My pretty lifestyle Sleep on a bright isle Rest in a jar Like pickles in brine Like I shouldn't leave God, show me a sign Guess I am human I make mistakes And I have emotions Just like the weather And here comes the downpour Next door is sunshine Look in my blind eye Show me a good lie Clinging to me Some kind of disease The water I drink Puts me right back to sleep So I'm late to the party And they've all arrived They're looking at me Like "are you alright?" Hello dear fear Why are you still here? I'm pushing and pulling With no one to steer This car is a wreck And I'm not the driver "But maybe it is you Don't be a liar"

Running from Nightmares 03:11
lyrics
buy track
I'm afraid of getting lost Losing faith Giving up Running from nightmares I can't stop For now, I'm safe For now, I'm strong All the pain, let it go Go, go, go All the pain, let it go Why is my face turning grey? Why'd the music fade away? Where did all the colours go Inside my heart, inside my soul? Maybe I should take a break A break from doing anything It's the least that I can do For myself, for my youth No one's to blame I'm in charge Who's taking aim? I'm not armed All this pain, let it go Go, go, go All this pain, let it go Go, go All this pain, let it go Go, go, go All the pain, let it go

Go Away 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Look in my eyes I'm scared for my life Maybe you should be too Have you heard the news? I know you're not awake But don't get in my face Go away Fresh coat of paint Nothing has changed Just the picture we see And not what we need Are we all just asleep? Or when we're afraid Do we close our eyes? I'm not to blame For how you behave I'm not making this up To ruin your day I'm just trying to say We're playing it safe Go away Beautiful day Sun in my face But it's all just a dream A nightmare, it seems Where we spread our disease Go away (Ay) Go away Go away (Go away) Go away

Push Pull Painter 04:28

Paint me a river to live in your stream To see all the things I've always wanted to see To dream all the things I've always wanted to dream To live all my days waiting for the next great thing Paint me a house with a big backyard Surrounded by flowers and your stunning stars You painted them yellow You painted them so far But I can still grab them if I try real hard Paint me a world where fear is our friend Paint me a world where time has no end Paint it with me My hands are here to lend So paint Please paint Go paint I'll wait My friend

By Now 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I'm already 25 And I feel like my life is flying by So much wasted time How I always close my eyes Never scratch the part that hurts You will only make it worse Just stop There's a devil in my brain And he's holding me back from everything All my hopes and dreams On pause until he leaves Never felt so fucking stuck Thought I'd escape this rut By now How? Now I'm 26 Has a year really passed by this quick? Like some magic trick Baffling a scientist What have I been running from? What am I so afraid of? Myself

about

This is an album I've been procrastinating to finish and release due to analysis paralysis over 5 years time. Producing my own record was a daunting task, as I tend to be so critical of my work and every little step along the way.

Then came 2022, and I realized I'd been over-analyzing and over-producing this thing to the point where I wasn't even excited to release it anymore. Although I think it's important to be proud of what you release, I think there's a balance to be had there. As my Nonno once said: "It's impossible to be perfect, but you can at least try to be 75% perfect". So here you have it, with all of its perfect imperfections, "Running from Nightmares".

Special thanks to my family and friends who have been there for me throughout the process and to everyone who listened, bought the album, or supported me in one way or another throughout my musical career. I love you guys. <3
