THE SISTINE CHAPEL
04:39
|
|||
The eyes fixed on the ceiling
I can almost hear the necks cracking
When history rhymes with beauty
Everything is either colorful or shiny
A billion footsteps won’t wash it away
So close but so far at the same time
A billion people walking the same way
From the ridiculous, never to the sublime
My body makes a fine floor
My body makes a fine floor for droplets
It’s never enough
But I don’t have anything left to give
|

FADING AWAY
04:06
|
|||
There’s this face that I wear
To cover the fact I’m not scared
But it’s slowly fading away
I can feel it tearing me apart
Just waiting to have my back against the wall
With no choices left but to give in
Embracing the fact that I hate myself
And yet here I am
It’s crushing me inside
And it’s just different in the same way

DON'T FOLLOW ME
04:29
|
|||
Don’t follow me
I’m as lost as you think you are
Fake confidence
Until I believe it
Sitting on the fence
Until when?
Sitting on the fence
Until the wind starts blowing
Waiting gets me nowhere at all
Waiting gets me nowhere
But I’ve packed my bags
In case nothing happens
Help me
Help me overcome
The fear
The fear of making bad decisions
|

MOVING ZONE
04:40
|
|||
From one extreme to another
The balance is broken
Appearances are misleading
Anxiety’s on my doorstep
Since the day I was born
Waiting to hit me
When I least expect it
Emotions aren’t frozen
Self-esteem’s unstable
|

PERPETUAL CALENDAR
04:18
|
|||
The art of watchmaking at its finest
In a place where time has stopped
But the clock is still ticking
Smells of liquorice and violet
A wood-fired oven in each room
Filled watering cans
Dusty wine bottles
An empty club chair
Crumpled and worn out clothes
A broken window into the past
Just tell me how to fix it
I’ve always found dried flowers reassuring
Unlike humans
They’ll last forever
|

THE ROUND TABLE
05:08
|
|||
You feel like getting a club membership
I know you’ll put the odds in your favour
Strong enough to keep a tight grip
But wasting time also gives failure its flavour
I am currently watching a bad play
Trapped in a locked theatre
But at least we are sitting side by side
Songs that can’t be sung
Over and over
And dances that can’t be danced
Over and over
Jokes that won’t make you laugh
Over and over
And stories about strangers
Over and over

THE KING STAYS KING
03:31
|
|||
Cold forests everywhere
Beautiful shelters during summer
Wild animals are running freely
At least the ones the hunters didn’t shoot down
Memories don’t die that easily
Unlike troubles, they can’t be drowned
I don’t wanna go back
The same mayors are in office for ages
The king stays if you don’t play chess
The king stays if you don’t play chess

I AM NOTHING
03:51
|
|||
I’m still looking for a reason
For the world to make no sense at all
Nothing more than flesh, bones and warmth to be felt
It’s a relief to know this doesn’t mean anything
As I walk to the shore
And facing the sea
Feeling the air on my skin
There are no more doubts
And as I scream
“I am nothing”
|

THE OCEAN
04:19
|
|||
There’s an ocean
Stretching between
Me and myself
(between) Me and everyone else
It’s getting to me
Not to see the shore on the other side
And sometimes I just give up
Trying to swim across the line
Cause I’m only slowly drowning far away
From the ones that I love
From the ghost of myself
The bonds go thinner
My words are growing colder
As I wake up, before the rising sun
The water devours everything
Turning the world into a dark and cold place
And they’re dancing on the other side
And I fear I’ll get swallowed
|
||||
11. |
||||
Always controlling my emotions
Forever hiding my feelings
I’ve already crossed hundreds of oceans
Freediving, underwater swimming
But if I hold you in my arms
It’s because I want to be in yours
A selfish need for rest
After a lifelong failed test
If unexpressed feelings are buried alive
What about the “better left unsaid words”?
Between silence and a deafening noise
We all have’ to’ strike a balance

(B-SIDE) ANNABEL LEE
04:20
|
|||
Over, my shirt is oversized
But I’m not afraid, I’ll walk in your light
Summer, you’ll summarize my book
And the cover will be a photograph you took
I swear, I’ll always be around
You’re the only one who‘s never let me down
In a kingdom by the sea
Now that I can see clearly
There’s an Annabel Lee
That nobody will ever take away from me
There’s not a single cloud in the sky
Maybe for once the angels (they) are happy in heaven
They do not envy us
Even if our hearts will stop beating
They do not care about us
And we make sure it stays that way

Twenty-four hours a day
And it starts all over again
Monday to friday, 9am to 6pm
I’ve never missed the tram n°10
Hungry and exhausted
Everyone goes home silently
But yesterday, I saw an old man
Carrying a suitcase and a folding cot
He’s here again and seems very tired
But I admire that grey-haired traveler
How did he overcome boredom and routine?
Twice my age, twice as much courage
I always sleep in the same bed
But I also always have the same dream
The day after, I followed the solo traveler
He got off the tram and walked to the hospital
Each day, he was looking after his wife
She will be gone soon and he knows it
They have never been separated
Unable to sleep if one of them’s missing
Wherever she has to sleep is his home
He just needs a suitcase and a folding cot
He just needs a suitcase and a folding cot
