And another one

When i am laid in nonsense
My heart begins to sing
Anyway what's ambition
when nothing will remain
I gave my heart permission
to dismantle my brain
There ain't no cure or defense
At least it doesn't sting
You guessed it here's another one
And i wish it wasn't there
i don't feel like i had any other choice when
It's daring me to dare
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Think of every single way
Think of every single way
This can, this will explode
Move around with confidence
Move around with confidence and act as if you won
Go and make me proud son
Rise against the future that they planned
Dance among the shadows
Grow and thrive as if you had no goal
It's hard to miss you when i don't think we've met
It's hard to miss you when i didn't greet you
Think of every single way
Think of every single way
This could be us again
Don't you think it's such a shame
Don't you think it's such a shame
That we cannot be friends
Go and make me proud son
Rise against the future that they planned
Dance among the shadows
Grow and thrive as if you had no goal
It's hard to miss you when i don't think we've met
It's hard to miss you when i didn't greet you

Anticipation
03:23

Say you're acting wisely
Say you're faking proudly
There might never be another chance to ruin it all
Overlooking friction
Trading truth for fiction
You could never get a decent role for what it's worth
Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway
Tender age of treason,
Cut you off for a reason
Dancing on the edge until the final curtain
No time for intermission
Keys in the ignition
I bought a first row seat to witness our own self-destruction
Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway
Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway
Losing anyway
Losing anyway

Bois mon ange
02:53

Par un aspect d'indifférence
J'entretiens la complaisance
Je reçois des interférences
Provenant de leurs manigances
Un verre, deux verres
pour des rencontres éphémères
Sous leurs grands airs
Seules et soucieuses elles opèrent
Loin de tout mais proche de virer fou
Bois mon ange
Dédaignons tous ceux qui viennent clamer tes louanges
Abandonne laisse dériver tes pulsions étranges
Rien qu'une question de préférence
D'attirance pour votre insistance
Face aux envies indépendance
Du mépris pour la tempérance
Cinq verres, six verres
Pour détendre l'atmosphère
Sous leurs grands airs
Seules et grises elles désespèrent
Loin de tout mais proche de virer fou
Bois mon ange
Dédaignons tous ceux qui viennent clamer tes louanges
Abandonne laisse dériver tes pulsions étranges

Vanilla me
03:16

All my words are weak
There's a hole through which i speak
And lyrics in the sink
Can i show you around
Nothing's quite how it should be
At least it's all for free and it's on me
I know what you'll say
It's been so long since i've been gone
But i can't get back home yet for there is
no home
Blame it on the past
Unravel most of what we had
I'm chilling in the yard
try it one more time
It's not worth it if you ask
I'd rather see the world if i were you
I know what you'll say
It's been so long since i've been gone
But i can't get back home yet for there is
no home
I know what you'll say
It's been so long since i've been gone
But i can't get back home yet for there is
no home
I'll have to heard
I have waited for my turn
I don,t want to crawl back where there's nothing else to learn

Visitation
04:21
|
|||
Sèche tes pleurs
Suis ma main qui effleure
Ton petit corps de sel
Chasse tes peurs
Élimine ta rancoeur
Ou laisse la noirceur répondre à ton appel
Dans un monde idéal où tu ne pourrais
Pas craindre le vide
Il y a
Il y a
Une invitation sordide
Les cris étouffés de ta voix me laissent
Dans l’obsolescence
Ton râle
Tes charmes
Implorent ton inexistence
Pluie de larmes car elle se meurt
De sentir en elle grandir une telle douleur
Laisse
moi donc
Pars explorer le monde
Je ne veux plus de toi
Baise
la terre
Cette sphère nauséabonde
Parle lui donc de tes envies d’enfants immondes
Je n’en veux pas
Tous les rêves que nous avions sont batis
Sur une espérance
L’envie
D’une vie
Exemptée d’accoutumance
Et pourvu que ce qui reste de ton âme
Soit imperméable
Au temps
Si lent
Qui la rend indiscernable
Refrain
Se débattre à contretemps
Pour oublier les idéaux
les mots en trop
qui nous détruisent en chaque instant

Variance

Hier l'ignorance
hier insouciance
Mais hier la suffisance de ceux qui dessinent notre décor bancal
Prônent la résilience
Prônent l’obéissance
et prônent l'importance d'une marche qu'ils se dépeignent triomphale
Rue de la folie
Là ou les plus intrépides
Se livrent à autrui
Repère d'apatrides
Qui se retrouvent et se couvrent
D'un ennui liquide
Rue de la folie
Là ou les plus intrépides
Se livrent à autrui
Repère d'apatrides
Qui se retrouvent et se couvrent
D'un ennui liquide

Vide
03:41

Avaler l'air
Qui prend son temps
Derrière le champ désert
De l'inconscient
Savoir quoi faire
Quand tout est trop grand
Courir dans les sables mouvants
Le maintien du rêve est devenu aliénant
Panique au milieu du printemps
Demain est un mirage insolent
Je me dissous délicatement
Débris d'un quotidien désincarné
Prisonnier des erreurs passés
Dont les fleurs colorés fascinent
Celui qui confond ses racines
Le maintien du rêve est devenu aliénant
Panique au milieu du printemps
Demain est un mirage insolent
Je me dissous dans l'isolement

Surrender
04:12

Day, is it day
Nightmares are in control
I'm ding as i'm told
Fair, is it fair
I've never had the right
To leave it here
But it makes no sense
Why would i expect to carry on
I can't remember
Any day or night
In which i didn't think you might be right
For i surrender
i don't have the strength
I'll go with it for as long as i can
Sure , are you sure
If anything i want is truly what i need
Break, can i break
The cycle that i'm in
I,m stuck it seems
I,ll be miles away
before it takes it toll
On you my friend
I can't remember
Any day or night
In which i didn't think you might be right
For i surrender
i don't have the strength
I'll go with it for as long as i can
I can't remember
Any day or night
In which i didn't think you might be right
For i surrender
i don't have the strength
I'll go with it for as long as i can

Point
06:25

Too late you should have been born
Some thousands years ago
It must be nice know what it feels like to be old
The night for better for worse
We’ll have to let it come
As little as I know
There’s no cure
To reassure
May you be able to know
how things turned out
Unspeakable fear
The need for disappointment is an illusion
Now it’s time to roam
Whenever we close
Point is how we end
Tout ce que l’on devient
S’éloigne du bien
Mieux vaut n’être rien
Pour ce que l’on en retient
Pourvu que tu puisses savoir
ce qu’il en est
Innommable peur
Le besoin de déception est Une illusion
Reste à tirer un trait
Célébrons la fin
Plaçons là ce point
