Light is soft and red We are lying on the grass Your eyes are dreaming far lands That's the best dream I ever had The world won't see us We have never been here There must be another place For us in the atmosphere Take me to the highest hill Open your arms, breath in You can tell the sky we're free We're finally free to live We're finally free to be Oh time doesn't exist We both know we can't die Our love will always survive In every loving life The wind messes up your hair The sun is gone but keep you eyes closed I'll show you the way I'll show you how to roam Oh time doesn't exist We both know we can't die Our love will always survive In every loving life

Four agents for one: me, please leave me I can't breathe I'm naked and young, I could be your son Mum you don't know how much I love How I wish I could come back home It's your memories, that keep me alive Even if they will never learn to shrive I know it hurts but you have to react To cry out to the world the pain of lack Justice is unfair: how much must pay A man who kills a boy under his control When he should provide the security of the state We are in serious trouble if you still don't understand It was for me a cool evening what old men would call morning I had just greeted my friends, I was talking to myself I hadn't even seen them, “I did nothing I swear” I might be a little stoned but if I scream it’s because “I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared” Four agents for one: me, please leave me I can't breathe I'm naked and young, I could be your son, Dad you don't know how much I love the sun How I wish I could come back home You left me a gift, on my soul and my skin As a trendy tatoo only bruises and wounds I gave up only when I felt your weight become So heavy, squashed me, pressed me like the original sin It was for me a cool evening what old men would call morning I had just greeted my friends, I was talking to myself I hadn't even seen them, “I did nothing I swear” I might be a little stoned but if I scream it’s because “I'm scared, I'm scared, bad bastards, I'm scared”

I didn’t know that You feel alone and I didn’t notice your heartbreak I didn’t know that ‘Cause I feel alone and I couldn’t take care of you Just relax now ‘Cause I’m here now And I don’t want to give you a heart attack You want to talk but I’m so tire now And I’ve closed the door between us Now I’m so sorry ‘Cause I didn’t notice I didn’t notice that you were falling

Panic 03:34
Tears fallen down my eyes Removing my make up Leaving me to die The world collapses on me A rabid dog eats my stomach A minstrel mocks my complicated mind My brain was built by Daedalus Ribs are the cage of the heart Running out in vane from the high tide of my thoughts Flood of problems Missed air, saturated head Chopped voices, trembling hands People say “don’t worry” but I answer “I can’t, sorry” I wanna scream, I wanna fight I wanna take the first flight I wanna time for myself I wanna go away from loneliness When I feel the pain All I do is screw up People around me Say that I have to grow up My face is covered by a happy mask Just like an actor in this pantomime I’m looking for the long thread of Arianne I want the key to escape from my madhouse I’m imprisoned Twisted mind, empty soul Gag reflex, heart in throat People say “don’t worry” I answer “ I can’t, sorry” I wanna scream, I wanna fight I wanna take the first flight I wanna time for myself I wanna go away from loneliness

I've seen your face ten thousand times before And yet I want to see you more and more I call you just to hear your voice at night But with you even silence sounds quite right I gotta do what I gotta do Cause time is lost when I'm not with you I gotta do what I gotta do I gotta see ya see ya see ya see ya baby Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Yeah yeah yeah yeah Cause I wanna make love to you And you want it too I love you from your hair down to your feet When I'm around it's you I want to meet We should be in a car running away Or naked in our bed all night and day I gotta be what I gotta be My world is dead when you're not with me I gotta be what I gotta be I gotta hold ya hold ya hold ya hold ya baby Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Yeah yeah yeah yeah Cause I wanna make love to you And you want it too I wanna kiss you under the rain And hear you talk again and again I hold your pillow when you're away I love your smell like an hunting pray Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Can't get enough of you Yeah yeah yeah yeah Cause I wanna make love to you And you want it too

Wet Voices 04:20
Oh dear this love is for fools For trembling souls whose skin will crack Childish skies are turning black We live on lies of loving deads Oh dear this love is for me My days are still and I get weak I breathe in words that make me sick And I won't survive you see So birds started falling As a heavy rain On our pain I was there into the crowd As I saw you turning ‘round The world was crawling and so was I the city just turned out the light I looked back into the night Into these streets with blinded eyes Where everyone is watching you But they don't even look They said Love is ended so go away Everything is going to be destroyed Go away There's no way to survive The water now is calm again There is no hate we must fight back Everything is painted red Our blood is dry, our voice is wet As you said in your head... ...Birds never stopped falling As a heavy rain On our pain

I know, I know The world is gonna die tonight I know, I know That there’s nothing we can save by now I know, I know The world is gonna end, there’s nothing left I see your eyes form a green screen I see even the lies that you want to be You are the doom you’re trying to stop Those assholes trust you like a God I think your overrated friend He’s just another one to mend You’re worth the can you throw away Enrich yourself and die today And there’s nowhere you can hide from the final tide…

Coraline 03:20
Everything is so boring and repetitive you’re stuck in negative cynicism Hide all day under the bedsheets And live in your daydreams Ooh, run little girl from reality that shit out there looks so blue Go, run from the siren sound Coraline can’t you see the truth? You like living your life as a nightmare But is that what you really wanted? Their voice is stuck in your brain And this time there’s no door for escape Ooh, run little girl from reality that shit out there looks so blue They are calling your name out loud Coraline can’t you see the truth?

Little Ghost 03:27
Hi there, little ghost Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you Just so you know I'm here to be your friend When I first saw you You came to me and asked me if I still remembered you I didn't know what to say I wanna know you That's what I thought I wanna help you take that picture so You can go on without regrets But everytime that I try to be nice You just treat me like I'm dumb Never listen when I talk And I don't know why but when I looked into your eyes I remembered who you are That we used to have some fun And you said Hi there, little man I can't believe that you forgot We were so close and yet so far I know You're so hella-lame But I could let you be my friend You're still someone that's quite important to me Maybe We were so happy But something happened is your soul now that you're losing I can't believe you disappeared I feel so lonely There must have been another way but I did nothing I wish I could have been more strong And everytime that I think about you I just can't ignore That you exist no more And when i finally found you again I knew that it wasn't you But it was like a dream come true And I said Hi there, little ghost I can't believe that you forgot We were so far and yet so close You know Called me hella-lame But then you let be your friend I'm still someone that's quite important to you You're cocky and you look like a girl Sarcastic and you have an annoying voice You're selfish and obsessed with your camera You're fake-nice and go emo sometimes But you know you're my friend And I will love you no matter how it ends But you see you and me Be together forever that's my dream Forever and ever that's my dream Bye there, little ghost Already lost you many times Next time I promise I will make you mine

Oh no, It's so hot that I can't breathe Oh no, I don't know what is happening to me Right now, It's so cold that I feel the freeze I just can't speak I gave you everything I had Oh, can't you see? I was your home and you're killing me Oh no, all you touch is dying here Oh no, you're taking everything you see Oh your dissatisfaction is burning me I'm full of waste and I can't see The waste is you, please set me free (x3) I just can't speak I gave you everything I had Set me free I was your home and you're killing me I just can't speak I gave you everything I had Oh, can't you see? Be happy for the simple things you have

He starts his life in the afternoon he thinks of a god when he looks at the moon he hates the rules, no animals as food he'll think about a riot if homewoks aren't good Express yourself don't change for anybody else Express yourself unchained believe in yourself She often dresses with larger clothes her dyed fluo hair shine brighter than her bones she loves the curves and the scent of all girls Her deepest, biggest fear is telling this to birds Express yourself don't change for anybody else Express yourself unchained believe in yourself He's dressing his tight priestly frills his heart's beating for a real human being God is closer to him but he wants more of her not even faith could give him the necessary strength Express yourself don't change for anybody else Express yourself unchained believe in yourself Doesn’t matter who you are It’s important what you feel Don’t hide your real nature It would be a lie to your need Try to know better your soul Never cheat your innermost It's the only way to watch Your figure without doubts Express yourself don't change for anybody else Express yourself unchained believe in yourself Express yourself don't change for anybody else Express yourself unchained

Vote Me 05:39
Vote me, I'll make this country great again Choose me, I'll sweep the filth out of this land No more blacks in sight No more need for you to hide Vote for me I'll make your dreams come true Love me, I stand for things you hold so dear Adore me, I'll help you fight your deepest fears No more gays or poors knocking at your door Just vote me I'll wish them all away In the secret chambers of your lonely heart You might feel regret and guilt, oh no In the secret chambers Of our police department You might find it's right to kill We just want noone to spoil our little dream Vote me, I'll let you do just what you love Choose me, Who cares about the sky above No more greens and lies On the polar ice Vote for me Keep stepping on the gas Trust me, If you love Jesus, I'm with you Trust me, I'm gonna let the Bible rule I'll weaponise you all And build another wall Elect me All Muslims shall go home In the secret chambers of your lonely heart You might feel regret and pain, not again In the secret chambers Of our foreign jails You might find it's right to kill We just want noone to spoil our little dream

about

S.T.O.P. is a school project of Istituto Lombardo Radice, in the Eastern suburbs of Rome. Led by teachers Federico Lama (maths) and Marco Maurizi (philosophy) since 2017, it involves girls and boys who compose, arrange and play their own songs. The name of the band has no fixed meaning: it adapts to different contexts and aesthetical needs ("students and teachers on playing", "surrender to our peace" or "siamo tutti ostaggi politici", for instance). An experiment in collective writing and live performances, songs that combine different experiences and generations, a message of creativity, sharing and hope.
