Here are the lyrics:
CURSES
(music & lyrics: Paul Da Silva)

Been a change of plan
I want to wake up somewhere new
Instead of always saving my own skin
With a sleight of hand
I played this trick on everyone
It always starts with me and ends with you
So stay safe and well, and keep your heart distracted

Was the cut too soon?
Or was I indecisive?
I battle with my thoughts but I’m not sure
I remind the muse
Of the curses that she started
It’s time to practise feeling like I’m cured

So stay safe and well, and keep your heart distracted
Runaway from the curses that I’m in
And sing a song for the soon departed
Staying brave take a leap of faith into the unexplored
Walk away from the faces I have seen
Have to finish what we started
Maybe one day my luck will have you walk in through the door

Been a change of plan
A change of plan
I need to feel the change in something soon
Yeah a change of plan
A change of plan

Oh how I want to wake up somewhere new
Runaway from the curses that I’m in
And sing a song for the soon departed
Staying brave take a leap of faith into the unexplored
Walk away from the faces I have seen
Have to finish what we started
Maybe one day my luck will have you walk in through the door

to receive your free copy.
The song has been receiving daily airplay in Europe and will also
be featured in the upcoming film O Abajour directed by Brazilian director
Marcoz Gomez.
"Our first single, ‘Curses’ is our identity, it not only presents the band
and music for the first time but also represents our survival amidst
the organized chaos that we’ve lived through to finally arrive at this moment
as a band.
The future is a constant uncertainty, but that’s the majestic privilege that we have,
our choices, our directions, it’s not the destination where you find the value
in something but in the grand journey along the way, and ‘Curses’ has that at the
heart of its philosophy.
As I usually say, it’s better to be a brave fool than a wise coward..." - Paul Da Silva
