Souvenirs

-Inanimate-

I might be reborn or it might burn my skin.
I just don't care, at least I'll finally feel something.
Tickle every needles stuck in this voodoo doll,
stab it, stab it, stab it
listen the sound that comes
from this fucking empty wreck;
from this carbonized heart.
I'm this disheartened man
who knows that he might end burnt-out.

-Earth Grazer-

Life ain’t a gift.
You’ve grown up in the shit like most of us, mate.
You feel like dreaming awake.
You’re staying distant from the man that you really are.
It’s hard to swallow the pill, right?
I know.
You would have loved to deal with, without any problems.
Hey mate, we can see you through your fucking bubble.
Why can’t you see the people right before your eyes?
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all.
A remedy to your pain.
You’re sleeping awake,
Dreaming eyes opened.

You do behave just like all these fucking sheep.
You hate it.

God ain’t a shepherd. You followed the wolves
in their den but you’re just a lamb,
Like lost in the woods.
The world will turn,
With or without you my friend.
We’re only passengers.
We live then we die.
You’re only wasting your time.

You better wake the fuck up.
You’re sinking a little bit more in the depths of the mirage.
Do you wanna run away from this hell?
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all.
A remedy to your pain.

You’re trying to fit in this world where you
live but you’re feeling like an outsider.
Just wake up. That’s a dream.
You are dreaming your eyes wide open.

What’s the fuck? Wake up.
That’s a dream.
You are dreaming your eyes open of your life.
Wake up mate, that’s a dream.
You are dreaming of your life.
Wake up
What’s the fuck?
Wake up mate.
Wake up mate, that’s a dream.
You are dreaming of your life.
Wake up
What’s the fuck?
Wake up mate.

-Gravity-

You're just a goddamn liar,
playing a fucking a role,
bragging that perfect life you've never had.
The tables turn, kid.
I just can't wait to see it.
I wanna know what you are made of.
Oh

You just don't know who you are,
there's not much left of yourself.
How could you even see with your heart?
You can not see the whole world around.

There is no chance to..
..to cover this hole.
I can't see where your heart takes place.
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself.
Because you're living a lie,
you don't even know who your friends are.
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back down.

Alternating the reality,
you heart is blinded by the that lies you told.
You want a life you'll never have,
leading yourself to your motherfucking downfall.
Open your mind to the world around
or you will never make it out alive.

You just don't know who you are,
there's not much left of yourself.
How could you even see with your heart?
you can not see the whole world around.

There is no chance to..
..to cover this hole.
I can't see where your heart takes place.
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself.
Because you're living a lie,
you don't even know who your friends are.
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back down.

Open your eyes all your loved ones are faking.
You're getting caught up by your lies,
I just can't wait to see how this will end.
Oh, you'll never know how to animate
your empty heart.
You'll never feel that fire.

You feel nothing.
Your chest is empty, you can't fill this space.
Your heart is gone for good, leaving you loveless.
It's been a while that you're life is a mindfuck.
How the fuck could you live with yourself?

You're just a goddamn liar, playing a fucking a role,
bragging that perfect life you've never had.
Facing the mirror, you just can't be yourself,
feeling the reality slip between your fingertips.

-Antares-

There's more to life than what
could ever meet the eyes.
So don't take a step back,
The crowd's wild, and I'm ready to feed them.
They need this, a big mess.
I'll keep spitting in this mic 'til the feast's end.
I'm stressed out, but I breathe here.
Oh, I could die for this.

Can you hear me loud and clear now? (clear now)
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out.
I'm sure you'll make it out alive.
You'll make it out.alive.

This place is all we have, here and now.
I'd like to live this forever (forever)
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow
The show is over.

This is all I'll ever have I guess.
This is all I've got to light my way,
And those moments are priceless.
I can't forget the miles, I walked.
I can't forget a single step..
Since I left the warmth of a "home".

I'm so tired to see that I have been mislead.
It was a long road 'round the core.
When your eyes devour me,
I think that my only will is to simply look alive..
'Cause I feel dead when I'm out.

I can't bear my heartbeats in my chest,
And my mind is such a deep mess
I can't stand to see
This fucking disaster the world made of me,
I'm so sick.

I'm just a man, a son of this pitiful world.
I can't feel the touch on my skin unless it burns.

Am I alive?

Can you hear me loud and clear now? (clear now)
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out.
I'm sure you'll make it out alive.
You'll make it out.alive.

This place is all we have, here and now.
I'd like to live this forever (forever)
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow
The show is over.
This place is all we've got here and now,
It's time to let us be
Can you hear me loud and clear?
It's time to let us live.

-Ouroboros-

It’s getting harder to breathe,
Harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write,
Tougher to feel things.
It’s getting harder to live,
Harder to pay bills,
Hard to feel alive.

It’s getting harder to breathe,
Harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write,
Tougher to feel things,
I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
Life must be sweet once we’re fucking dead..
Yeah, once we’re dead.

Sometimes I drown in the sound like trying to find the silence.
Lost in the noise of this world,
Show me the way through the darkness.
I gotta pay.. pay for a daydream.
Look at my soul,
Trapped with the bailiffs.
I might die, starving to death,
Biting my own tail again and again.
I can’t hear myself think,
This fucking room must be talking ‘cause I can hear it.
I see me kissing death between these walls.
Life must be sweet on the other side.

I don’t wanna pay for a fucking life that I don’t want,
Because the rats get fat while the brave men die.
That ain’t a lie.
It’s sad to say but that’s how the world fucking runs.
No, this is not for the money,
Put your doubts aside.
Music is not about filling a fucking bank account.
That’s what they want,
Not what we fucking wanted.
It makes me sick,
Sick of seeing motherfuckers ruling the world whereas it burns.
Sick of living in a world that I don’t understand.
Amongst the wolves,
Sometimes I drown in the sound like trying to find the silence.
Lost in the noise of this world,
Show me the way through the darkness.

If I’m a basket case,
This casket will welcome me with open arms like an old friend of mine.
Just like an old friend of mine.

Oh, I need a room to breathe.
No, I can’t go on like this.

It’s getting harder to breathe,
Harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write,
Tougher to feel things,
I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
This life must be sweet once we’re dead.
Fuck.

Hell is full, don’t you see?
Hell is full and we’re dragged into the depths.
Oh shit… Heaven doesn’t exist.
We dance between the devil’s hands.

Black Lights-

I´m going away.
I´ll follow the sun on its journey
to lead my steps.
No matter the winds,
no matter the rain, I´ll keep on walking,
I´ll see where it ends.
I tried to live through these souvenirs.
I have talked to this man I´ll never be and
wiped all of these tears.

I tried to be what they wanted...
To be the saviour they´ve called here.
But all i needed was to find my place.

-Voyager-

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should
It's always crystal-clear

I spent more time in this room to write all this
Than with my family and all my friends
I traded my everything
To feel free to walk my own path

I won't be the one who forget his dreams
I'll make sure to remember them
I'll take a glance at the Earth
When I'll be on the roofs of the world

The dream will be mine
For now I wanna be the one who lead his life
I might have took the longest way to leave my dream
But every miles will bring me closer to it

I'll build it all of my bare hands
Will follow the sun on its journey
I wanna tame this heart which is mine
Feel that I'm leading my life

I hold the key in my hands

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake (I never felt a regret)
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should
It's always crystal-clear

These lines that I write are the mirror of my soul
Like a letter to this kid who played alone

Now... this kid do feel like a man
He bear the weight of his dreams
Stands just before your eyes
He found a meaning at his life

He wanna know...
He wanna know what this life can bring him
He wanna know where this road will lead
So take him away and show him places he'd never seen

I remember the promise that I have made to myself
The kid I was has grown up, but all his dreams stayed the same
The souvenirs of his words linger inside of my head
It's like crystal-clear

This is us versus the fate

I wanna know...
I wanna know what this damn life can be
I wanna see where the road will lead
So take me away and show me these places I've never seen

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life
Traded it all for my sake

-Muchos Touché-

You wanna play the man, kid?
Aren’t you afraid to play with the fire?
So let’s play this game.
Gimme your best shot or you will get shot.

We’ve been like bros you and I…
Oh, I know, I’ve been too nice.
All this time you lied like you breathe.
Fuck.
You lie like you breathe.

There is a place for you in one of these body bags.
You better watch your back.
I’ll slit your throat with the dagger that you left in my back.
You bastard,
I curse your life.
I curse your life.

I’ll put you inside the trunk of an old Cadillac.
You’ll be found dead in a bag,
Next to a foxhole.
You’ll be the star of the newspapers main lines.
I swear to change your life in a fucking hell.

-Echoes-

I'm always striving to see clearly
Through all my troubles
I need a break
This can't go on and on
I'm near from the breaking point
Get me out of my routine

My life is a mess
And if it's a little bit late to change it
Then how could I even change myself?
... Yeah how could I change?
I gotta believe in myself
Rely on my feelings

Just let me see the dawn
I'll find a way through the morning
A life for the night and some hope in this promise

My demons entertain me
When I'm haunted by all your murmurs
My mind tends to break (by itself)
I revel in illegible images

Oh, God is laughing like a fucking brat who plays over an anthill
Yeah, I do pray, I pray to stay outta reach (far from his eyes)
I sway with that bottle of brandy in hand
I'm alleviating my soul when I drift through the void

I have to say that all this is all making me deeply sick
It echoes in my head
To save things never been part of my plans so I should just play dead
But that's not my type

Even sell my soul won't make a difference
That's never ending (never ending)
I'll sing as long as I don't know where I'm going to end

Just met me see the dawn
I'll find a way through the morning
A life for the nights, a shelter in the glitter of all these lights
If you let me... see the dawn
I'll find a way through the morning
A life for the night and a meaning at all this

I'll find a meaning at all this

-5:12 AM-

[feat. Plini]

I've been hearing you murmur about a thousand times.
The minutes are running like rabbits and I'm chasing words.
It's almost midnight,
You're probably already sleeping,
The sandman by your side.

So we'll meet in our dreams.

I've been far, for so long.
I swear, soon I'll be home.
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up.
I see the miles pass one by one on the rear-view mirror;
Driving, 'til the night's end, foot on the gas,
Leaving all the rest behind.

It's 5am and I'm miles and miles away from home.
Frozen.
Following the sings along the road.

I've been far, for so long.
I swear soon, I'll be home.
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up.
I see the miles pass one by one in rear-view mirror;
Driving, 'til the night's end, foot on the gas,
Leaving all the rest behind.

I miss your presence, I need you by my side.
I wished a thousand times upon these shooting stars to see you cross that door
'Cause I feel half alive since you're gone.

-The Lichtenberg Figure-

I'm not the greatest writer
Oh, I'm not the greatest, no
I'm not perfect, not even novelist
This time you better listen up

Oh, life have barely changed
Twenty-two, still pissed
Plenty of shits in the backpack
And Nikes on my feet

Many pieces are missing since I came back home
I can't deal with my own life
I'm incomplete
Another empty wreck, shit

I'm just the shell of a man which is absent
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant
What I have is far from being gold
But I write open-hearted, my balls in the inkwell
Fuck it, I'm done with swallowing bullshit
Since hitting it off has become an addiction
I needed more than these words going nowhere
To show you that my life is not such a poem

Some black clouds will get so much bigger
No matter how lucky I am
I've never learned how to live with the thunder
My heart is a lightning rod
And I'm walking under a thunderstorm
Mesmerized by the lights
With my eyes half shut

I do live through these lines
Writing this song just to say what I got to
I need much more than these words
Just to show you that it's a struggle
To be able to believe in this life

I write with my heart open
Even if it can be so callous
Just listen, this heartbeat have so much to say
I just can't keep it in
I just won't keep it in

I'm not the greatest writer
And this isn't the greatest song
I'm not perfect, not even novelist
I'm not saint, I'm not a fucking prophet
Fuck this, I'm just drifting
I keep moving pushed by the movement
I'm still trying to pull the strings of my fucking life

Oh, you can keep the pain
The fame, the money and the whores
Cause I'm a body-shaped shell in a sorry state

-Souvenirs-

Let's go.

I know I can't define this life
I know you can't see through these answers I'm seeking for
are way too deep to be found

My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (my eyes)
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?
I’ve been changing

It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing,
and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.
through myself.

I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess
of what I've done with my life

I will never let you define my way of.life.
I thought we've been watching the same sun
but we're way too far to finally feel warmed.

this is my time to speak
this is the time to forgive.
I've been betraying the kid that I was
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?

I didn't think the show would last so longv Though it should last forever now.
I was seeking for this,
having a chance to speak to try to feel better.
I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me.
I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems
with the detachment the drug brings

I've got these dreams to stand for,
got my voice to speak
despite the lies around me now
but this bitter taste that they're leaving
won't let me feel anything. (delay feel anything)

It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing.
and what I've been through
to see clearly through myself.
through myself.

I was such a mess before this
I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without
the mess of what I've done with my life

-Twenty Years-

[Bonus Track]

We all live different hells
Some might live with but some just can't
So why should I live a different way?
Yes, a different way

Already twenty years have passed and I still can't live at ease
Oh, come on, fuck it
They claim the fame, but all they give is a spit at our faces
When they're playing their bullshit

What does it take?
What does it take you to forget your pride?
What does it cost?
What does it cost you to pay the price?

It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others
Although they want it to be
I can swear to you that I am probably the most blamed
Because I shout those fucks I lived
Fuck your false feelings, your appearance
'Cause the best are often the most rotten inside
So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes
Right in front of your hearts

Fuck your false feelings
'Cause the worst are the brighter inside
I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes
Until they dry from the inside out

From the inside out

I'm gonna prove to you
That we're all dying to make a place down here
We're all dying to make a place down here

It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others
Although they want it to be
I can swear to you that I am probably the most blamed
Because I shout those fucks I lived
Fuck your false feelings, your appearance
'Cause the best are often the most rotten inside
So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes
Right in front of your hearts

Already twenty years have passed and I still can't live at ease
Oh, come on, fuck it
They've made the game, but all the need is a spit at their faces
When they play their shit

We all live different hells
Some may live with but some just can't
So why should I live a different way?
Yes, a different way

-Heartfelt-

[Bonus Track]

Those heartfelt feelings that I got
Are getting a hold of me
I gotta let them be
And this is why I need to tell you the things that I feel
How much it means to me
How much it counts to me

You were into my heart before it locked itself
You're all I can save from the shallowness
You're the key of my soul
But my soul is lost when love's a door that we fear to leave unlocked

Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind
You're bringing back the pulse in my veins
You've seen the the back of my mind
But now it's hard to mean something

I found this fire burning into your breast
This love has never been much brighter than what I could guess
The things we've lacked could have changed us
For a better version of ourselves

No matter what they can say
Or the price we might have to pay for this
They can't change the way that I feel
The way that I feel when you're away

There is always a way to cross all the miles
That will pave our fate
We just can't change
And the world can stop
I won't give a fuck
Cause I've got something that counts
And I will never let it leave

They spit the venom, I gotta take it out
Love is a hushed bird you shouldn't cast out
Well if it's meaning a break, they shouldn't have lied
Shouldn't have spent a whole night riding a fat ass
I can't feel a remorse, I can't have time to find why you're that addictive
'Cause a sad heart cannot fake feelings
It's not the first time that love is dead living

It makes me sick, cause all of the mistakes we've done
Were meant to make our path
Snakes will keep spitting
But we remain faithful to our beliefs

I'm so tired of these shits, no matter what
And how many times we've to rebuild on ruins
A structure that can hold us closely

No matter what they say
Or the price we might have to pay for this
They can't change the way I feel, they can't
Nor your place in my heart when you're next to me

Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind
You're bringing back the pulse in my veins
You've seen the back of my mind
But now it's hard to mean something

I found this fire burning into your breast
This love has never been much brighter than what I could guess
The things we've lacked could have changed us
For a better version of ourselves

The winter has passed
I was hoping you'd hold on through those nights in the cold
You don't know how much I'm hollow, how much I miss you
The summer is coming
I'm awaiting the day when I can finally take you home
'Cause this time I'm gonna show you
How much I love you

Noir - 2017

-L'appel Du Vide-

I cannot explain this feeling I'm having
When I'm looking at these pictures
Yellowed by the sun
This weird emotion is sticking at my soul
It numbs me to the bones

These moments are battles I can't win

Everything that I love is killing me
And these lies won't save me any longer (can't save me anymore)
I've destroyed one by one every beloved thing
Right before my own eyes
Slowly but surely

One day I'll be part of the ghosts on your photographs
And you'll forget about me when other ones come

You will replace one by one every memories
They will fall away and merge in the afterglow

I cannot explain this feeling I'm having
When I'm hearing these hearts singing
Burdened by their dirge
This weird emotion that's echoing with my soul is all I ever feared

These moments are battles I can't win

Everything that I love is killing me
And these lies won't save me any longer (can't save me anymore)
I've destroyed one by one every beloved thing
Right before my own eyes
Slowly but surely

I'll never get used to this acrid venom
That's shooting through my veins
I'll never get used to this ice that stands beneath my skin

-Monochrome-

I'm trying to survive these strange days
This life can be such an adventure
The world stands before my eyes wilder than it has ever been

I forgot these old memories of youth that were caught right under the surface
Forgot these souvenirs of you that were calling back the pain

I never felt happy somehow
But I'm trying, I'm trying the best I can
I really wanna feel happy sometimes
Really wanna know where the lights are
But it only feels so wrong
It's eating me alive

I never know how to shorten the distance between my heart and my head
'Cause through my eyes, the days are monochrome

I wanna feel the light of a new day
But I'm so scared of it all...
I'm scared this utter joy ain't lasting forever
It's eating me alive

I never felt happy somehow
But I'm trying, I'm trying the best I can
I really wanna feel happy sometimes
Really wanna know where the lights are
But it only feels so wrong
It's eating me alive

I'm trying to survive my feelings
The joy is the ghost of a wanderer
Lost somewhere outside of here
Counting every hour

-Under Different Welkins-

I'm so scared of living my life in vain
I'm always always craving for better vibes
My hands are rough, my soul is heavy...
But they've always held me down
When my whole life was going south

The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once and for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole
No, I can't feel whole

You know
The road has always been the same
But the world is changing
I am lost
Lost amongst the days I'm living
I'm dreaming of a brighter way

I've placed my heart on an altar
Have set my soul ablaze
In hope to save me from myself

Oh you know we may walk under different welkins
But when I'm drowning in your eyes

I can feel that I am not alone anymore
With the stranger

That I see into the mirror
Not alone with my fucking pain, again

So don't let me...
Don't let me think my life is vain;

I'm so far from seeing the life through their heart shaped glasses
I'm always always craving for better vibes

'Cause the world is mad, the world is crazy
And it keeps bringing me down
Each day my life keeps going south

The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole

Show me the fire, ignite me
I'm feeling so cold
I wanna know why I'm aching
Look in my eyes, tell me what you see
I'm feeling so numb
I need a sign to keep on fighting

I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
Don't let me think my life is vain

-Les Nuits Noires-

I woke up again,
from this recurrent nightmare
The night has never seemed so dark
I'm being swallowed by the abyss
My life, like brought back to the ether
My shadow is getting bigger
And there's nowhere to run

Get me rid of this chronic pain
That drags me through the coldest hell
There is not much left of who I've been
I just cannot stop dreaming of the end
I can't stop and it's killing me
It's fucking killing me

Someday I might find out where the bliss lurks
Caught in a web of lies
I found out that the truth can hurt
Just like a blade, a knife
I'm about to let go
I just can't do this on my own

The pain is haunting my nights
I'm fucking scared of what tomorrow could be
And each time I try to face the light
I just don't fucking feel it

Oh please father show me a sign
The devil starts to sing for me
The light begins to fade away
I fear for my fucking life
Someday I might find out where the bliss lurks
Caught in a web of lies
I found out that the truth can hurt
Just like a blade, a knife
I'm about to let go
I just can't do this on my own

-Grey Souls-

I see the eyes of a thousand suns
Staring at all these lonely beings of carbon
Lost in the desert of their souls
Seeking a meaning to their existence
A sense to their lives

We are the desperate souls
The children of a bottomless chasm
We are the shadow of a dying world

We're thousands, dead inside
No constellation in our eyes
Just dead stars
(My poor friends what a sorry state we're in)
You'll find no source of light
Nor any answers in our hearts
Just grey souls

To numb the pain devour the soul like a black hole
And let us fade along these monotonous days
We're broken, seeking a way...
Seeking a way out of this endless hell
Confined inside the back of our fucking skulls

We cower to hide from the light of the stars
Back into the mire
We're hopelessly drowning
Our evils meddle with each fucking day
This nascent fire will forever consume us

We're thousands dead inside
No constellation in our eyes
Just dead stars
(My poor friends what a sorry state we're in)
You'll find no source of light
Nor any answers in our hearts
But grey souls

-A Bitter End-

I'm so sick of these moments with you
Of staring at all these stars
Hand in hand like two liars
I swear sometimes I'd rather be dead
Just like the lights in your eyesv The lights of the town don't shine like they used to
How could I let this be?
Oh how could I let this be?
What have we got left except this long silence?
We're fading out as the night falls down
What have we got left expect this fucking distance that is standing
Right between us?

We're standing together on the edge like ready to burn
We're staring at each other, fade along the days (we're fading)
Denying a bitter end

Our fucking dance is endless
And sometimes, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather watch us fucking burn

Endless, our fucking dance is endless
We're dancing on our graves
I'd rather watch us...
I'd rather watch us burn

We're standing together on the edge
Denying a bitter end

We're standing together on the edge like ready to burn
We're staring at each other, fade along the days (we're fading)
Denying a bitter end

I've had enough of your fucking bullshit
To relive each of these lies
Hand in hand, like two liars
I swear, sometimes, I'd rather be dead
Just like this hole in my heart
My pain keeps growing like it used to
How could you let this be?
Oh how could you let this be?
What have we got left except this long silence?
We're fading out as the night falls down
What have we got left expect this fucking
distance that is standing right between us?

Our fucking dance is endless
I'd rather watch us fucking burn

-Stranger Self-

I've become a shadow
amongst the shadows of your conscience
Another fucking blood stain on these walls
Oh I've been lost for too long within this garden of concrete
Into this hell that your eyes have always been reflecting

You stand alone amongst the statues of these corridors
You're dwelling with a phantom between hell and home

Oh I'm no one to you
A stranger that calls for the rain
I held on for nothing
You don't seem to see me

You don't even speak to me anymore
Still thinking about just leaving and walking straight out the fucking door
A stranger, figment imaginated
Detail in haze, a ghost without the face and..
What, you ain't got no time for me now to be around
Love you from a distance the second I left
You see me now

Check, is that it
Mad, it's aristocratic
Glass inhabits
For the feeling it missed I'm shattered
Fuck it our frequency never matched
I never felt so attached
In a black dormant heart I will react

And I ain't got no time for you to feel
Time for you to heal
Time for you to see me through
This could be us but I know it's just you
This could be us but I know it's just you

Now you would trade your soul
For a fucking day out of your skin
To get away from this house
Where you ahve to face what you look like

You hate yourself
'Cause you're a passerby in the life of your loved ones

Aren't you sick of acting like you're fine?

Oh I'm no one to you
A stranger that calls for the rain
I held on for nothing
You don't seem to see me

-The Light, The Fire-

Your eyes tend to remind me so frequently
The cold and distant light of these heavenly bodies
I know too well that I'm the only one to blame, I'm sorry
I knew where we'd be led but I just kept walking

Now, I see the light, the fire devouring the coal
Now I'm used to singing with the monster I've become
To dream of the gold in the river
Oh, the nights have become longer to stand
And the dawn is harder to wake each day

These nights have stolen the best
And what is left should never be yours
I'm fading with the gleam of a far-off firmament

My soul weeps an ocean I can't seem to drain
I'm drowning in these waters
Sink as deep as I can sink
I know too well that I'm the only to blame
I'm sorry
I knew where I'd be led

I've spent my whole life
Dreaming of a brighter light
But I doubt you can ever realize
That all these songs to call-off the jinx
Might be everything this world has left me

Now, I see the light, the fire, devouring the call
Now I'm used to singing with the monster I've become
To dream of the gold in the river
Oh, the nights have become longer to stand
The dawn is harder to wake each day

I can't seem to live with these dreams of you
Fuck!

-Joie De Vivre-

It comes in like a cold wind
The spirit of the world we live in
I'm holding a wave
Go give it away 'cause...

Are we looking for the answers?
Or are we dropping to our knees and giving in?
I'm running again
Stop running away 'cause...
'Cause I feel exiled inside of my head
Existing through this vivid dream

Say that I'll feel the same (it's not your time)
Say that I'll feel the same
But it's now or never
And I keep running away
(Existing through this vivid dream)
I keep running away (it's not your time)

So I'm chasing the joie de vivre
Not really knowing how it works
I'm holding on a dream
Even if everything around me collapses

Thoughts rise, your mind it clears
I feel it again, oh I feel it again
Because I thought I needed somewhere to run
Looking for home, like night for the setting sun
Oh I'm shining again, oh I'm shining again

Say that I'll feel the same (it's not your time)
Say that I'll feel the same
But it's now or never
And I keep running away
(Existing through this vivid dream)
I keep running away (it's not your time)

-Lead The Light-

I've never really been proud of my life
I've made a lot of bad choices
But the chance that I was given helped me to change
You know I've been running after something I was dreaming of
And somehow it brought me the strength to still believe

I'm not holding any fucking answer about that life
I’m just trying to live mine
Without putting my feelings aside
I keep on trying to find my place in this world

Let the light come in
Show me the way before the night calls me again
And if there's any price to pay
Then just take everything I have ever owned

I've never really been proud of myself
I've made a lot of bad choices
But the chance that I was given helped me to change
The pain is sticking to these songs
It seems to never leave
But somehow that is what has always defined me

-À Travers Le Miroir-

She imprisoned my soul in a bottle
Like a firefly
And threw it again to the fire

She drew me that life on a vacant canvas
But she's gone with its colors
We're playing a duet
But the melody of melancholy seems to be the only thing we share

Tell me the secrets of her fantasy
How could I believe in this heaven that she promises?

She's calling my name in my dreams
I can't hide
Oh she's in the walls, and she never falls asleep
I feel her presencev In these streets, in my house
In these thoughts that I have
With her cloak and her big black scythe

This sharp taste of iron doesn't really leave
(Never really leaves)
Like calling her ghost through the mirror
I'm painting my life on this vacant canvas with my own blood

She's calling my name in my dreams
I can't hide
Oh she's in the walls, and she never falls asleep
I feel her presence
In these streets, in my house
In these thoughts that I have
With her cloak and her big black scythe

I'm calling her ghost through the mirror
Oh I know that I just can't hide

-Heal The Wound-

Teach me to face what's lurking deep inside
I'm crashing down right before you
I feel broken, I feel downed
With my face against the ground
My heart is weighting me
My icy soul is afire

I'm running after bliss
'Cause I don't know what it tastes like
But I'm not blaming anyone, no
I'm way too much detached now
Insensitive to your words
And each time that I'm alone
My fucking conscience tells me:

"You're feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
Of trying to heal the wounds in time
You wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling
That's raging in your soul."

Teach me to face what lurks within my heart
I'm crashing down right before you
I'm always hiding behind this smile
The smile on my face
So no one's gotta ask me if everythings okay

Just read between the lines
I'm wishing that you can see
My sky ain't bluer than yours

I'm way too much detached now
I think I'm too far gone
'Cause each time I'm feeling lost
My fucking conscience tells me:

"You're feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
Of trying to heal the wounds in time
You wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling
That's raging in your soul."

I'm feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
I wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling that's raging in my soul

I've learned to love the thunder, until the sun comes back
I've learned to love this rumble that haunts my mind
It's never ever easy
But I hold onto these lines
I've learned to love this black cloud that haunts my nights
