In the woods
05:41
|
|||
|
In the woods roaming
if I could
break the walls down
overwhelmed
it’s too late
everyday
spinning on the bridge
to feel something
In the woods crawling
if I could
be invincible
overdosed
it’s too late
everyday
flowing into the sea
to feel something
To feel invisible,
to feel invincible

Hollow
06:51
|
|||
|
I lost any thrill
I fell down,
and now I feel
hollow
back in time, hollow.
Your spell is broken
I’m compelled to pretend
I should bury us
I should.
Cold hands in mine
I crystallize your smile.
You keep silent, I cry
I see the snow in your eyes now.
I fade,
a desert in my mouth.
My shade has collapsed
into the hole of your heart ,
hollow.
Put your arms in mine
love is a frozen prison now
your stare is cold as ice tonight
I see the snow in your eyes now.
Cold hands in mine
I see the snow in your eyes now.

I wanna run
05:36
|
|||
|
I wanna run
getting away from you
(1, 2, 3, you’re disappearing)
nothing more to say, nothing more to hear
I searched for a meaning
a bright spot in the dark
groping for the pathway, unwise.
I’ve lost at the same time
my family dream
and my old friend,
a finger snap, so fast.
You searched for a meaning
a bright spot in the dark
groveling to her
you’re compromised.
Too kind or too silly
you get caught
praying mantis
a finger snap, so fast.
I wanna run
getting away from you
(1, 2, 3, you’re disappearing)
nothing more to say, nothing more to hear
Cocoon in the safe zone
you told me the words
I wanted to hear, beautiful lies.
In that rash moment,
the puzzle was complete
I finally found it, pie in the sky...
(1, 2, 3, you’re disappearing)
I wanna run
getting away from you
nothing more to say, nothing more to hear
(1, 2, 3, you’re disappearing)
(1, 2, 3, you’re a million miles away)

Eternity
05:57
|
|||
|
What a waste of time, would I have brought myself a better care than you did? Did you ever be mine?
Will I find the strength
not to fall on my knees?
Eternity, eternity
I would give myself to feel this way again.
Eternity, eternity
I’ve hidden my head in the sand.
Everlasting thrill,
I still feel your skin
when you cuddled up to me.
Covered from the storm,
I was close to bliss
we could have taken things easily.
Eternity, eternity
I’ve hidden my head in the sand.
Eternity, eternity
I would give myself to feel this way again,
to feel again, to feel again...
To feel again (are you feeling something?)
you can’t feel anything.
What a waste,
I’ve given myself to you, but it’s not enough.

To the moon
04:31
|
|||
|
Rocks around your words
I lost the shuttle to the sun.
Rocks around my knees
I failed to know why
you’ve been gone.
Go on and breathe
I wonder if
you’ve changed your mind.
I would erase my memory and start again.
You’re gone with your fears to the moon.
Heavy like a stone
my heart is cold in the moonlight.
Clocks around my head
I count sheep in my bed
every night.
Go on and breathe
I wonder if
you’ve changed. Did you cry?
I would erase my memory and start again.
You’re gone with your fears to the moon.

Dance into the snow
04:47
|
|||
|
In the realm of fantasy
your arms are opening.
I’m snuggling up to your body.
Softly when I cross the line
the wine tries to control me.
Isolation, after all we shared.
Dance into the light
Dance into the snow.
Back to freedom
I’m alive in a gilded cage. Time is over,
won’t you take my hand?
Mooning over the photograph
my heart is crystallizing.
I’m still with you
the moment runs away.
Dance into the light
Dance into the snow.
I’m beside you
comes alive your kiss.
just behind you
come alive your fears
till the end.
Dance into the light
Dance into the snow

Clocks around winter
07:42
|
|||
|
Nine o’clock, as every morning
I wake up, the same routine:
Cups of coffee and headaches
with the same sens of loneliness.
I should not lose hope,
but I’m drinking, wasting my life, slowly.
Frozen, frozen, wasting my life, slowly.
My brain is scrambled,
on my knees,
I’m collapsing, with clouded memories.
Frozen, frozen.
In just a short moment, everything can collapse to pieces. We will become a big black hole, finally together, each piece of a puzzle, to see the bigger picture.
Clocks around winter
I’m standing, counting down.
In just a short moment, everything can collapse to pieces. We will become a big black hole, finally together, each piece of a puzzle, to see the bigger picture. Series of portraits suspended on the same wall, to find our way into the final scene. For all that could have been.

If you choose
05:29
|
|||
|
All the choices you understand well,
the price of being torn in two.
I can not resolve to say my farewells
so I go around in circles, so confused.
If you choose to believe
If you choose to believe
If you choose to believe
Will you choose to be with me ?
I’ll never intend to break your heart,
the one who made me feel good for a while.
Clouds into my eyes, I wanna cry
but I let you wondering if I play dead.
If you choose to believe
If you choose to believe
If you choose to believe
Will you choose to be with me ?

Black eye
09:05
|

|
« You do the crime, you do the time »
Stare at my face
and my black eye
your craziness
blinded your mind.
The more we failed,
the more I tried,
until the fall
down stairs, still alive.
Fade away,
blue turns to grey.
To see the light,
I will fight
I will fight
I will fight
from now on.
Now, it's too late
to apologize:
it's time to face
who you truly are.
So many times,
you put the blame on me and lied,
denied,
but now you cry ?!
Fade away,
blue turns to grey.
To see the light,
I will fight
I will fight
I will fight
from now on.

Birdcage
07:51
|
|||
|
I’m walking on the way to buy
a ticket for anywhere but here.
Comes your face into my head,
I’m turning back, I’ll go one day.
You come and say you’re sorry
I’ve forgotten.
you come and say you’re sorry
and I retrieve my prison now.
You come and say you’re sorry
you’re not forgiven.
you come and say you’re sorry
and I swallow my pride for you.
I swallowed your lies all the while,
you came across the line and cried,
justified your punch easily.
Like a bird in its cage, I can’t be free.
You tell an other story
and I’m forgetting.
you tell an other story
and I retrieve my prison now.
you tell an other story
you’re not forgiven.
you tell an other story
and I don’t know the end.
you tell a new story,
you tell an other story...

I was five and he was six
we rode on horses made of sticks.
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time.
When I grew up, I called him mine.
He would always laugh and say:
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played and people sang
just for me the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
and 'til this day, sometimes I cry.
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

You’re a million miles away.
