It’s a little town from here
Where there voices change but the people stay the same
But it’s not clear if everyone is here
Or locked inside the dirty side of evening out the finer points of your fulfilling years
So I could say
If I would play
Would I end up even understanding?
I’d have no way
That’s it’s not for me
Cause I’ll never see
See the beauty inside it
All the times we could take?
Eventually everything will break
Watch the people come now gone
Walk around from time to time
And whisper almost anything at all
Relax my friend
You can pretend
We should be holding something so much bigger
But You call me when
I could fill in
I still can’t win
Or even see the outcome
But I still change
Just like the rain
Even roses wilt with too much sunlight
It should feel real
It should be great
If we only knew how to hold this upright
Gotta keep this upright

Goddamnit - Pieces left
03:00
|

Haven’t always been the best for you
We call bullshit on the times you knew
This window closes on an empty view
And you move on saying there’s nothing new
But keep these lights on
When we get better
Can you still believe
It’s not the weather
That makes it easy
And I lost the letters
And times forgets
The things we had and the empty breaths
I’m holding on to the pieces left
It’s different now amongst your new best friends
But not so easy to forget
I’d hang around only to get upset
And wake up instantly to this nice mess
But I can’t
If it was easy
We’d fall apart
I’d get so distant
And you wouldn’t start
But I can’t see it
See through the dark
It seems so simple
Falling apart

Goddamnit - Little mile
03:03

So you spend your time
Looking for the answers
Another blurry line
When all the while it leads to questions
Do you believe ?
Can you tell the future?
Is it me?
Why would I pretend to see
When all you do is make believe
But it’s no different
Holding on to the same old strings
It’s makes you feel bent
But I can’t feel the same
So I can’t stay
Even if I should
It’s not supposed to
Change
Change the way I walk
Just to hear you say
Itll never be
It’ll never be ok
So I spent some time
And I lost some time
It’s a piece of mind
That makes the minutes last a mile
You can look away
And I can’t hear a thing
Seems we say the same things
Everyday in every way
Forget about the little things

If you see the sign
And fallback into place
We believe these things that make us feel
So appreciated
But I fall
And I stall
Stumble down and never wanna call
It’s all wrong
I can’t tell if what you said would ever make sense
So even the realest ones
Go on and on and on
Till I feel numb
And I can’t tell right now
Who’s the one who’s faking
So I fall so down
Ever wonder how the ground has grown
I can’t tell. I’ll be well
It’s just wishful thinking
It’s just wishful thinking
So you make you bed
But you never make amends
I try hard to hide
But I just can’t pretend
Small talks and long walks
And we’re right back to the start
It’s all wrong
But not gone
And I can see the light on

Deserted world

You think new words will make it easier
That you have a lot on your plate
That somehow it will get clearer
The movement may have a new name
But the pain’s still called the same
We keep signing on
Worn out with hollow bones
Burying the sunrises to come
Digging our graves for a loan
This cage has no key
We got to tear down the walls
Social status, rewards, ambition,
Awful rythms and dedication
Sacrifices, moral violation
Our rotting cities take their last breath at dawn,
When our wit and limbs start to recover from their numb,
When we have nothing to trade
When the last wavering echoes of the buildings start to fade away
Warm up our hands, flesh & hearts
We worth better than this
We have way better things to be
We keep signing on
Worn out with hollow bones
Burying the sunrises to come
Digging our graves for a loan
This cage has no key
We got to tear down the walls
We’ll choose how we’ll explode
The summer grows in us
Let's shine and hurt ourselves for real,
Reclaim what belongs to us,
making some space for a thrill,
Only our flames can burn our candles,
We’re on the right side of the fire

Will it be the same
The next time I come home?
Will we meet again
And find who we used to know?
Does your voice shake
Saying these « I should have… »
All over again?
Because mine always does
These years felt like they would never end
But now it feels like they never happened
Never found a proper way to say goodbye
Have we traced the lines drawn on our palms?
It’s hard to think our lives someday intertwined:
Mixtapes we’ve made,
And all our friends who crashed into nameless silhouettes
Faces, names & places
Inside jokes & laughs
All wrapped in blurred memories
Like a far-distant light

Cœurs fauves
02:13
|
|||
|
Cernés nos yeux puis nos vies
Rongées, nos silhouettes ivres
Usés par le vieux monde
Jusqu’à la corde, jusqu’à la lie
Déchirons la trame uniforme des jours
Poings contre poings, liesse et bravoure
Lions nos coeurs fauves
Lions nos coeurs fauves
Percer les dédales, à l’abri des promesses
Et des effroyables certitudes du quotidien,
Prolonger l’enfance et devancer la sagesse
Déserter le lieu des formes qui dépérissent
