Hands are shaking.
Heart is beating faster.
Tight throat, guilty shadows appear into your eyes.
Link the wind, I wish were there to chase the mist.
Emotional disease, there was nothing around.
Letter box full of regrets.
No outlooks, happy are those who forget.
Take a look around.
sure, I will follow you.
I would kiss you under mistletoe,
Not to play the fool.
I won't spend all my time wasting my life.
I'm sure I'm loosing faith til I die.
Is an overwhelming shame written all over my face?
Slowly, sharpened words slide to the daylight.
To the stars, show me the right way to reach out the sky,
and reveal to me what happened during the past.
Letter box full of regrets.
No outlooks, happy are those who forget.
Take a look around.
sure, I will follow you.
I would kiss you under mistletoe,
Not to play the fool.
I won't spend all my time wasting my life.
I'm sure I'm loosing faith til I die.
Diamonds comfort me not to live in a room
Stay true and one day hearts will bloom.
I curse the day I was entering in the room,
Stay true and one day hearts will bloom.
Take a look around.
sure, I will follow you.
I would kiss you under mistletoe,
Not to play the fool.
I won't spend all my time wasting my life.
I'm sure I'm loosing faith til I die.

Lost on that road,
so far away from my home sweet home.
Please don't switch off the light,
deep scars and bad monsters will be back.
I know there are no fairy tales,
remembering these words you said.
Time goes by, seasons and wars, I miss your voice and your wine.
Where are you now?
You passed away too early in my saddest years.
Don't abandon me now,
I need you to face these fears that I can't deny.
Six years later, a rose tattooed on my chest,
Heartbreaking songs and quiet whispers.
So proud to wear your old favorite cap.
We're not invincible.
Heavy heart and clenshed fists
Pieces of anger and screams.
Don't leave me alone. I can't sleep, slave oy my own memories.
Where are you now?
You passed away too early in my saddest years.
Don't abandon me now,
I need you to face these fears that I can't deny.
Six years later, a rose tattooed on my chest,
Heartbreaking songs and quiet whispers.
So proud to wear your old favorite cap.
We're not invincible.

Sharing my bones

No U-turn by now
old memories in wet eyes,
it's easy to forget the past
Don't give up now
Take a breath, I'm afraid too
We will stay proud and tall
and I will miss you
I'll miss you
and I hate you, I hate the day we will fall down
Have you ever heard this sound?
A kind of shabby blasting room,
these are ruins of my existence
Have you ever heard it before?
Silent screams in black books, no poetry, no prayers
I'll never let you down
I'll bury pain and misunderstandings
Don't worry, I'm freezing
I must fight to bring you back
Holding you in my arms
Before my bones break, before I die.

Let my heart talk for both of us,
Take a seat as you get used to.
Let's rock by echoes, let's get blew by the wind.
Let me talk about our story.
Thousands of wonders in common acts.
I should not tell you the end.
Come on, get closer, then take my hand.
Let your gaze get into mine.
Listen to this song as you didn't know yourself,
as you didn't know me.
Let the tick-tock of the clock getting tired to steal these precious times.
So, brave princess, don't cry.
You who lead my steps in the dark.
Thousands of wonders in common acts.
I should not tell you the end.
Come on, get closer, then take my hand.
Let your gaze get into mine.
Listen to this song as you didn't know yourself,
as you didn't know me.

They should not tear us apart.
Let's have fun for a while,
before you and I become deaf til we die.
How could I say life is a wire
you could break whith the blink of an eye?
Silence around my mind.
I hope we will survive.
Before I scream out allmy pain.
Before you look at me in the eyes
Before you see me loosing strengh
Who know how to keep me alive?
We should cross the whole ocean
til we find a safe place to go.
No matter if we are sinking
coz we tried to resist.
How could I say life is a wire
you could break whith the blink of an eye?
Silence around my mind.
I hope we will survive.
Before I scream out allmy pain.
Before you look at me in the eyes
Before you see me loosing strengh
Who know how to keep me alive?

B-Side Heroes

Brother, Did we share the same passion?
So far from those my heart is beating for.
Tell me how far is the distance
Between arms and forgiveness
Not really easy to feel coward,
To keep my mind safe from theirs.
Souls are shouting painful names
Too much alcohool, am I in Hell?
I never knew I would never feel well.
Sister, leaving you on the road again
is my simple way to avoid fears.
Seeing my dreams behind the window,
when the rain falls and the Wind blows.
Please get the arrows out of my heart and out of my soul
Life is too short for redemption.
I'm looking for heroes, looking for god
I never knew I would never feel well.

B-Side Time to forget

Did you see the light before the darkest days?
Fear and clouds didn't mean to be afraid.
Now it seems they will never be at the same place.
My voice is bleeding to forget.
My voice is bleeding to forgive.
Enjoy these times meanwhile nothing is gray
deepest thoughts are burried in our minds.
Mother mary, would you explain me how life is made yet?
Surely too shy to explain it.
Surely too shy to explain this.
Loneliness is the keeper of our faith.
Should we just live before the last train.
No more tear nor drama.
Just being at our own places.
Just need to turn off the radio.
The door isn't closed, you only have to break these chains.
Smelling flowers on a sunny day.
One thing for sure, we'll never regret.
One thing for sure, we'll never be the same.
