Larimar (misspelled: lorimar), also called "Stefilia's Stone", is a rare blue variety of pectolite found only in the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbean. Its coloration varies from white, light-blue, green-blue to deep blue.
The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Mining records that on 23 November 1916 Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren of the Barahona Parish requested permission to explore and exploit the mine of a certain blue rock he had discovered. Pectolites were not yet known in the Dominican Republic and the request was rejected.
In 1974, at the foot of the Bahoruco Range, the coastal province of Barahona, Miguel Méndez and Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling rediscover Larimar on a beach. Natives, who believed the stone came from the sea, called the gem Blue Stone. Miguel took his young daughter's name Larissa and the Spanish word for sea (mar) and formed Larimar, by the colors of the water of the Caribbean Sea, where it was found. The few stones they found were alluvial sediment, washed into the sea by the Bahoruco River. An upstream search revealed the in situ outcrops in the range and soon the Los Chupaderos mine was formed.
Ever since and always waiting
lost the chance to do what we never did
We'll curse ourselves for hesitating
but, nevermore let fear forbid
Because, maybe we were
closer than we think
Still, no one touched
and the suspense was killing me
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
Maybe we were hoping things
we couldn’t let our mouths admit
Waiting on momentum to get
caught up in the thrill of it
But, funny how that
moment never came
To do what everybody said
would happen anyway
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
I heard your back
I’m hoping that we could
go back and take our time
and finally find out why
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
I’m this way because I’m cold,
cold enough to know knowing does no good.
I’m this way because I’m wrong,
wrong to let it end, end the way it should.
If you’re laying down your arms, lie down and be done
because lying is what we’ll do.
Just to wait for you takes all my strength and I won’t.
Because, nobody breaks the way I do
and I don’t think I want me to
I’m this way when I wake up,
up before the dawn. It’s dawning on me now.
I’m this way because you’re not.
Not because I care. Caring is not allowed
If you’re saying you can’t take the weight of this
then, maybe, wait until I’m gone
It’s your fault I can’t stay… stay asleep inside…
Whose side did you take…taking all my time…
it’s time to be awake making up my mind
Just to wait for you takes all my strength and I won’t
Because, nobody breaks the way I do
I'm this way and you won't budge
Lay down your arms
They brace your heart
Lay down your life and living starts
You’re still the same, still the same…Unending
Tear down the walls your heart in hand
Tear off your clothes
They're not the man
You’re still the same, still the same…Unending
Maybe there’s yes inside of every no
Maybe there’s stop and go
inside your soul
but I’ve got a plan, I’ve got a plan
Take up your fears and follow me
Take on this world, you’re meant to be
You’re still the same, still the same…Unending
Maybe there’s yes inside of every no
Maybe there’s stop and go
inside your soul
As soon as we’ve all been figured out
and all the good honesty allows is here
is waiting…is here
Even as stars fall into place…
what are the odds for we have made mistakes.
You know how it happens.
Tell the world we’re fine with all our imperfections
Good enough for us
Put complications out of mind
Pull darkest memories from mine
They’re done. We don’t need reminding.
Tell the world we’re fine with all our imperfections
Good enough for us
I may be unworthy.
Maybe I don’t deserve this sign.
What have I done to make this right?
Tell me we’ve made it.
Both of us strengthened by time well spent.
Are we then content to wonder what it’s like
to lose our imperfections?
I’ve been sitting pretty. I’ve been standing still.
But, you move me to pieces with just your force of will.
And, oh, how much I suffer for all my thinking small
while you walk up in wonder and have no fear at all
and now I’d like to know what it’s like
to have the world at your command,
drop the reigns when life gets heavy in your hands.
With a spark of youth and a heart so full,
you’re my living proof that everything is possible
and now I’d like to know what it’s like
to be you as you’re living every moment.
Must be nice to be you taking life with arms wide open.
I think I’d like to know what it’s like
Will you show the world to me, the one I need to know,
with the innocence you see so I can watch you go, watch you go.
And you keep running with your head held high, your arms outstretched,
a smile the only reason why.
And now I’d like to know what it’s like
to be you as you’re living every moment.
Must be nice to be you taking life with arms wide open.
I think I’d like to know what that’s like.I can love you like me. I can love
Here goes nothing
Here goes everything in my simple mind
Yeah, there used to be a time I’d trade it all for what you think
I'd hope for lies
I understand you’d be surprised
You were bound to be
No, you never were expecting anything at all from me
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don’t find
whatever you think you need
Fight or flight if ever we two should meet and someday might
That’s what really bothered me:
you never really understanding
If I obsess, you win for relentlessness
We come undone by process of your denigration
How the hell were we supposed to be?
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don’t find
whatever you think you need
All the words you can have for nothing
For what it’s worth, you have everything
I might have what we had in common
But, you know me...
As we live a life of ease, every one of us has all we need
You're too deep, is that why you think you know me?
Is that why you read my simple mind and still don’t find
This Time
I used to think that it was only me
the way my world collides
with every truth I seek
and how I couldn’t keep myself
from falling deep into
the waiting void that I have left in me
You used to think that it was only you
the way my world revolved
around the things you do
and how I couldn’t keep myself
from falling through into
the waiting void and how
that still seems true
If I was made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
this time
I’ve never come this far
I used to keep a little piece of mind
I kept it tucked behind my ear
a little light that I could ride away
upon in troubled times
it’s just another part of me
that I can’t find
I’ve never come this far
but I know I want to stay here
for the moment I can see
why you had to let me feel this way
I wouldn’t cry if I didn’t know
that I could have been here yesterday
but I wouldn’t have tried
without you on my side,
if you hadn’t let me go
and you didn’t want to know
if I was...
made to fly and you were gone
could I, without the strings you tie,
make it and make it alone
Brighter than anything else at this distance
I know it seems larger than life
but it isn’t the world that you’re in,
it’s just the world that you are
Nothing warms up in this light. It’s like it’s never inside.
You just hope that it might be what you think that you need in your life if
you can stay who you are.
Don’t you know that you’re the moon?
When you suffer in your silence, I’m a tide that you have moved. I come
rushing by your guidance.
Turning and turning away, I thought you’d leave me alone in the mess
that we made but you just follow your course and you’re home. It’s just a
matter of time.
I feel your heat at the door. I wanted light but it’s burning like never
before.
Maybe it feels like you’re going too far because you’re reaching so high.
Don’t you know that you’re the sun? You are turning with such violence. I
am taken and undone. I am burning in the brightness.
Oh my love, let’s see how far you can go. I don’t know how you don’t
know that you are what you are.
Oh my love, let’s see how far you can go. I don’t know how you don’t
know that you are what you are.
Oh my love, you’re just like the stars above
Somebody has to surface - come from under your skin
Somebody has to bear down for his life to begin
May he strengthen on his way.
Let him know, if he could stay, I hope to meet him
I hope to see that day
Somebody has to sleep here in the fold of our arms
Somebody has to be here so we know who we are
May he come within our grasp, take our hands and hold them fast
I hope to meet him. I hope to hear his laugh.
Here we are in tiny hands
They carry our tiny beating hearts
Somebody has to grow up, be a brilliant young man
Somebody has to trust love, be as strong as we can
When the will of love is done may that sorrow never come
I want to meet you. I want to meet you, son
Here we are in tiny hands
Why are you quiet now, why are you quiet now Why are you in your head
I want you to come out and tell me all about the things you haven’t said
let me get you over it, take off all that’s on your mind
lay your head upon my lap and let the words unwind
When you look at me this time just tell me it’s alright to be this way
Why are you holding back Why are you holding back
There’s no other place to be
We are just here and now We know what we’re about Nobody else can see
So let me get you over it Why let all the world decide
Wrap your arms around my waist Cause we won’t be denied
Lay here in my arms,be just who you are. I want to be awake
We’ll just wander in the ways that we are loved that no one can explain
When you look at me this time just tell me it’s alright to be this way
What if we let it go What if we let it go Maybe the world will change
Maybe a heart would have a chance To stop and learn to beat in other
ways
So let me get you over it we don’t have to be defined
Put your hand inside my hand and, baby, nevermind
Lay here in my arms,be just who you are. I want to be awake
We’ll just wander in the ways that we are loved that no one can explain
When you look at me this time just tell me it’s alright to be this way
The moment you took the stage I was yours
Every syllable on your tongue touched my nerves
Between what you sang and what I heard you threw me
I know every thought inside your head
You dream like me but play the dream instead
I’m waking up and going back to bed without it
On & on, the way you play me
On & on, I’m blown away
I could have a million words inside my mouth
But I’m tongue tied paralyzed in doubt
Maybe your lips on mine could ease them out
On & on, on & on, I’m blown away
I’m soaking in the memory
Drinking up words that pulse and ring
You’re shaking up every single part of me
On & on, the way you play me
On & on, I’m blown away
Hey, I want you alone
there’s nobody else, nobody else
Hey, I want you alone
there’s nobody else, nobody else
I could have a million words inside my mouth
But I’m tongue tied paralyzed in doubt
Maybe your lips on mine could ease them out
I can love you like a song, give you words to sing along, all the words you
want to hear
I can love you every day so I never miss your face should the daylight
disappear
then, I can love you in a dream keep you coming back to me if you have to
leave me here
I can love you like me. I can love you like me but in this song.
I can love you like a storm then settle down and keep you warm, be the
place you want to go
I can love you like a wave, come in crashing on your day and, should you
find your nights alone,
Then, let me love you like my heart’s wrapped around you in the dark, be
you mine to have and hold
I can love you like me. I can love you like me but in this song.
Others can take all of these words and make the same mistakes we’ve
made that I won’t erase.
There’s not a single moment that I’d ever trade.
I want to love you like it’s wrong, wrap the words around my tongue, let
the meaning fall below.
Just, let me love you until it’s right, leave the questions all behind
If you stare too long at a picture frame, you turn to gray
You want to add some color back again, well, that’s okay
I can tell you what it feels like when you come inside
I want to lose myself for a little while. Can you help me hide?
I’ve been waiting on the hourglass with you, my friend
And I’ve had moments of such purity and you knew me then
You’ve been kind enough to walk with me so far off track
I just want to be myself for a little while. Can you take me back?
You’re the last of the ones who know.
You’re the last of the ones who know I know.
You’re the last of the ones who know I know. I know, I know.
In the world that we’ve been walking in, I’m well aware
That only we can see the truth of this and, no, they don’t care
And I don’t even want the ability to make them see
I just want to find out who I am again, who you let me be
You’re the last of the ones who know.
You’re the last of the ones who know I know.
You’re the last of the ones who know I know. I know, I know
I’ve written every song I could possibly and this still won’t leave me alone
It comes into my head like a prophecy.
It comes out of my mouth like my own.
‘Don’t kid yourself’ isn’t that what we said?
Be happy and stupid on lies that you’re fed.
So quit looking at me like I meant what I said.
No, I don’t want to do something I could regret.
How noble and true, how absurd could I get?
If I wanted to leave, why haven’t I left?
Some things are good and some true.
Speak of the devil, it’s you.
‘Don’t kid yourself’ isn’t that what they say when you’re living a lie
‘Don’t kid yourself’ like there’s no greater good than the good in goodbye
How you’re under my skin is over my head.
I left you at least twenty feet from the bed.
If I don’t want to leave, could you leave me instead?
There’s no use in taking it slow
For something you already know.
I’m left alone with you-the only living proof that you’re here
when there’s nobody left but the truth
‘Don’t kid yourself’ isn’t that what they say when you’re living a lie
‘Don’t kid yourself’ and they’ll leave you alone with the good in goodbye
‘Don’t kid yourself’ isn’t that what they say when you’re living a lie
‘Don’t kid yourself’ and they’ll leave you to mourn all the good in
goodbye
Maybe my eyes don’t lie. Is that why you look at me like it’s my
confession?
All sin and sacrifice, that’s just the way I taste when you feed the tension.
Oh, hear me out.
Oh, hear me out.
I lie when I say 'I’m fine. Yeah, the pain makes sense. I'll get over it.'
I lie and the consequence is you’ll never know what you’ll never get
by tearing me all down.
This only feels right now but I know it’s not the same, just the same
intention.
I miss you for your mind and body goes with it, but for the apprehension.
Oh, hear me out.
Oh, hear me out.
I lie when I say 'I’m fine. Yeah, the pain makes sense. I'll get over it.'
I lie and the consequence is you’ll never know what you’ll never get
by tearing me all down for you.
Somebody had to go and be honest. Be honest.
Somebody had to go and sing nothing but the truth in code.
Oh, hear me out.
Oh, hear me out.
I lie when I say 'I’m fine. Yeah, the pain makes sense. I'll get over it.'
I lie and the consequence is you’ll never know what you’ll never get
I’m hanging around
I’m holding a candle ‘til I burn it out of my mind
Legions can’t tear me away from inching inside of you,
waiting until it’s enough to say:
I don’t expect to hold you just yet
But, I know your fears and I’m hopeful and I’m here
I don’t need to go
I give you my word you’ll be the first and the last to know.
I don’t expect to hold you just yet
But, I will remain until chance has come around again
Open your door. I’m tired of waiting outside of your world,
quietly biding my time ‘til you’re full of hope again.
I go where my love is found that’s why I’m hanging around
…outside of your door
and I’ve got my reasons
for wanting this love that I’m waiting for
I don’t expect to leave here alone anymore
Open your door. I’m tired of waiting outside of your world,
quietly biding my time ‘til you’re full of hope again.
As soon as we’ve all been figured out
and all the good honesty allows is here
is waiting…is here
Even as stars fall into place…
what are the odds for we have made mistakes.
You know how it happens.
Tell the world we’re fine with all our imperfections
Good enough for us
Put complications out of mind
Pull darkest memories from mine
They’re done. We don’t need reminding.
Tell the world we’re fine with all our imperfections
Good enough for us
I may be unworthy.
Maybe I don’t deserve this sign.
What have I done to make this right?
Tell me we’ve made it.
Both of us strengthened by time well spent.
Are we then content to wonder what it’s like
to lose our imperfections?
I’ll find a way to be nice when I want to be unkind
I’ll find a way to be quiet when I want to speak my mind
I’ll find a way to be here even though you don’t need me
I know I cannot be right all the time. It’s not possible
And, time will not always move
Time will not always move
Time will not always move so slowly
When I find a way to be loved in a way
that you’ll know you’re loved
And I can push you clear of my solid grip on fear
And I know my mind so my heart won’t be far behind
And you’ll know where I am even though
you don’t understand
How time will not always move
Time will not always move
Time will not always move so slowly
Oh but, everybody knows…everybody knows
Everybody knows how you can’t see when you’re too close
Verse 1:
My father brought us up even if the money was low
My mother flipped, when they bankrupted she's feeling alone
Cuz the pressure of all the problems left my parents separated
Me and my 2 brothers and our sister slowly faded
I know that’s when it started, started hanging out with wrong
People who skipped school and rather hit it up with bongs
A little piff in the back seat just 14
Thought I was the coolest started hanging to be
More popular, cuz my self esteem was so low
I think that’s when I started with this shit but I don’t know
I had the music in me as far back as I remember
But Peppe made me rap again I’m glad I fuckin met ya
When we were kids, started rocking this shit
On open mics, screaming 765 till we die
But what I do is try to keep silver city alive
Cuz back then IHO had made the rap game smile
I started doing what I never do
Chromozome 47 he introduced me to the syllables
It’s like he taught me to fill in his shoes
A better rapper's what he made me to this time I think I’m killing you
Hook:
I guess that everybody in the world got shit to say
But this is all me and I’m giving it all today
But I don’t really know how the fuck could I explainand I got something to
tell you
And motherfucker I’m fed up, because every time I turn around the other
side’s better
Verse 2:
I got it from my cousins, they wrote some rhymes and bust it
On an instrumental track I read the CD covers
I wanted to be with, but they said get out the room
You can't rap little kid, this is for older dudes
They closed the door and pumped the beat loud
But I heard it through the wall I grabbed a pen and paper see now
I wrote a verse just to speak out
I think it was my calling back then but shit I never re dialed
They ask me how it feels to be 25
Without a education, or money but I don’t replay
I got a job just to pay of bills
o g please I spend the rest on OCBs
Until I fuckin got caught by the cops
I swear it was the last time so I forgot bout the pot
Oh, I moved home, I wasn't alone
Anymore, my father took me in with open arms, shit
Walking round and I’m feeling like a target
Paranoid shit man I didn't even start this
We growing bigger by the day its our future
And I'll do anything for my brothers, it´s Baows Music
Hook:
I guess that everybody in the world got shit to say
But this is all me and I’m giving it all today
But I don’t really know how the fuck could I explainand I got something to
tell you
And motherfucker I’m fed up, because every time I turn around the other
