It's raining all sorts of people in front of trains Heading straight to websites then papers It's also a lesser tragedy to be late guessing professions on each others breath This over priced ride just hast to move I wish it had a face to punch it blue At least my headphones will numb my rage It's been a while here inside this cage Territorial fashion kicks in the assign station in the appropriate station it's raining incoherent DJs inside the tarp trampling elephants on awkward stands I can not remember when it was an all inclusive rejection on leper time The taking turns just has to be atoms crashing at each others whims This over hyped times tried to exist somewhere near Moses muddy tears
2.
Is it fair to ask you when will you be done with the one you are seeing cause here I am in line No I can't write you Neruda type poems But I could recite him, yeah him and Dave Grohl Cause when its over perhaps before You better be a' waiting for me to take you on I could be patient but don't know for how long You and I are both in motion and eventuality will take us where we belong
3.
I smile for awhile knowing melodies are best when they are short My mind resembles a referendum Miscounted and stuck in limbo That's right I'm again falling for a lover's disorder fixing my self through her eyes But i still linger close to the trigger Close to a new morning's revamp That's right I'm a native betrayed in a requiem With no more treaties to sign You're my aggressor, never content oppressor Never fair in a fight That's right She makes me feel like it's real The simulacrum takes control I always tried to be sincere A wind of vagueness moving on moving right on
4.
You said I had to move away, I could no longer call this my place No matter which way I would turn “I could not defeat eminent domain” Because my roots are here your fancy suits I can not fear So when you bring in the law you better bring it well reinforced How could I fight in court when the state has won them all So bring it on for the progress That you've claimed this injustice must look me in the face We will have to resort to an old fashion fight between right and wrong I know the time is here and your shiny guns I can not fear Farewell humble skyline of old its a lost cause after all The end we were all born to know I'll find it here in the place I call home
5.
I walked cause I am somewhere Or got pushed this way No is not shame which I am fearing Just my honesty out of place Who where and how Was I a good friend Was I a pond or a river Of unnecessary rants The night belonged to strangers Now I belong in bed My head between two pillows is what I remember
6.
When I thought of you and the art that you do By evoking desire with the fire you inspired You will hurt like the first love I ever lost In abstract glow At the beginning of a flow We counted until late with nothing to gain You will hurt like the first love I ever lost Some people don't dance because they got no feet Others don't dance because they don't know how to live I scattered here and there crumbs that I could trace back to your curves where my palms were fed You will hurt like the first love I ever lost
7.
You're gonna want me like I want you You're gonna have to cause you gots to We're gonna find a way We're gonna find a way When will you lower your standards This might be what true love looks like If you were to settle with me me If you were to settle for me We're gonna be in debt together We'll grow fat and rip our denim It's alright you see It's the American Dream Of all the thing that I could offer I know laughter will come often It's a joke we'll live You could do better than me.
8.
Probably or possibly yeah whatever the odds it would had been better to heal than to pick on the scar But I refuse to lose the memory of you Only the saddest song the saddest song feels like home Whats there to do never got over you There's been life, change, suns but to no use Probably or possibly you will never know Its gone beyond love now it feels like a helpless ghost I've remained the same though I've tried to change I'm getting to think that's all I am I'm getting to think it should be enough Probably or possibly if I could get it right I'll do my part whatever it takes to have you back
9.
Out within Seeing faces as God's whim And cultured is the world Hunting is the word They better have my bourbon at this spot No friend of mine ever tells me to slow down We are all in the same boat Escalation is the word Being broke is the norm This carousel with its fading paint on my finger nails Has no concept of pace Has no horses in the race And once derailed it never comes to an end Sometimes Dealers are your healers and you heal in the dark trying to manifest a light And you borrow someone's shadow to encrypt your own When you show up at my funeral You better make a scene and cry
10.
Sank on tragedies The mass and the priest The news got us all down Chaos is control Of an uneducated force While I'm getting ruled by the gun While I'm getting ruled by the gun When tradition meets No accountability The blood on trial is our own When you search on me Pockets of history All our bigotry is revised While I'm getting ruled by the gun In the place I've always known I see you watch me as I go about my day Morning on our eyes And if love is not enough Then the kingdom of heaven is a farce Hands in the communal air Architecture of betrayal Because all is yours and none is mine While I'm getting ruled by the gun You should know that I'm afraid You might learn to forget At the moment you have my life in your hands The law can not invade A horizon of regret I'm as human as the love ones you hold While I'm getting ruled by the gun In the place I've always known I see you watch me as I go about my day There are no enemies At an umbilical cord's reach Is not a thorn to be born If I smile at you The last smile I ever drew To live was all I was here for While I'm getting ruled by the gun
11.
When you came to me you shattered what I once had been You spoke like a rebellion taming down days old you rested on my chest after shaking walls away But then Madness found me You gave to me everything you had to give I took you by the hand where your stories had never gone I explained the etiquette of making up things along the way But then madness found me For it was you and I Against the city on each other’s arms I'm sorry when I left confused, cold and overwhelmed Time was ticking strong I was afraid that you would go Cause I know madness finds me I know madness finds me Shake with me if that’s what you need Shake with me, baby while I'm here.

about

These are my favorite songs that I've recorded over the last few years, it's a best of compilation. Mostly recorded in the Bronx and the rest in Bushwick. They are what I leave behind when there is no more forward.

about

Danilo Parrales New York, New York

Songs are born while
I dance, attempting to reach you.
I paint my walls so they melt me into them a little bit slower.
I also wanna work with clowns in a circus downtown and tag along with them so I could learn to forget.
