And as I keep getting old
Slowly all the things unfold upon my sight
It’s blinding me - it’s summertime
Reality renders as I descend
Braking and slowing down
Because my fear of death
Won’t let me get up from my saddle when
When better days
They'll lie ahead
Cause I lie on my bed
And all my lies in my head
As always
And if someday you will need to cry
Harsh winds they’ll freeze and dry
Cold diamonds in your eyes
These ancient tears of wintertime
Through perfect cuts we can look ahead
To after we’re all dead
And in the end it’s fine
Now please lay me down and I’ll rest in time
And better days
Do lie ahead
As I lie on my bed
And all my lies in my head
As always

Nevertheless
03:28
|
|

Summer’s now in bloom
Fear of getting older way to soon
Dancing by the moon
As the sunrise as always comes
Going back to our park
Looking for that small bench where it all starts
Among plants and trees
It is close but it's not quite the same
If these flowers grow let them grow
Earth is yours earth is mine
I don't want to live alone
Let alone the weekends when
It’s warm outside
Think I got some mosquitos in my eye
But I love you nevertheless
But I love you nevertheless
Lose me in your pockets
Labyrinth of sonnets never read
By anyone but me
As I binge read constantly your dreams
Reading Joan again
“World is pretty messy,” she might say
Feeling up today
And still feels close but not quite…
If these flowers grow let them grow
Earth is yours earth is mine
I don't want to live alone
Let alone the weekends when
It’s warm outside
Think I got some mosquitos in my eye
But I love you nevertheless
But I love you nevertheless

Meet on the screen while chasing fire
Your picture fills me with desire
It’d be so nice if you liked me too
You say “I’d like to meet you”
We go near your house to get coffee
Go back to your bed and get sloppy
We do what feels right
Being real tonight
Parrots and the park in your husband’s car
City lights like stars
There’s always something new that you’d like to do
That’s what I like about you
I spend a whole week at your place
Hop on a plane to fly away
Babe hold on tight 'cause I might be a while
Remember me with a smile
Blue-eyed bubble bath in cilantro grass
Must be heaven at last
There’s always something new that you’d like to do
That’s what I like about you

Biting My Tongue
03:14
|
|
||
|
I feel nothing from the sound
Simply definition bound
Poetry nor prose
Pull the thorns out with the rose
These new words sound so clinical and cold
Feeling so timid where I used to feel bold
Avoiding the void as I keep
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Stop - playback and rewind
They’re playing games with my mind
Minds I cannot read
Nevermind, never sincere
Braving new worlds - I look so cynic and closed
Feeling so timid where I used to feel bold
Staring the void as I keep
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Stop - I need a full reset
These days I’ve been really upset
Russo-ukrainian war
Getting rid of canker sores
Exploring new worlds - they are identical to home
Feeling so timid where I used to feel bold
Loving the void as I keep
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
She's biting her fingernails
Picking her skin all night
Pull hair side to side
Distressful thoughts
And dark feelings of unease
Biting my tongue
And I bite it so long that blood
Flows into my mouth
A brand new type of mouthwash
Sensing new pains - as I forget the old ones
Feeling so timid where I used to feel bold
Embracing the void as I keep
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue
Biting my tongue

Past Times

Please be by my side
Or otherwise I’ll cause a mess
One of these days you will see
Laying down in the grass
Another moment of the past
That has led me where I am
And I have never been older
Or been younger
Than I am
Today with you
And I don't wanna see you no more
please I just wanna feel like before
Cause I don't wanna see you no more
For God's sake, please please, no more
Pastimes are past times
Bid adieu to your girlish days
Love’s unhappy when love’s away
Let bygones be bygones
Emoji means emoticon?
So ;( sad emoji with a tear
And since then we're all floating in space
So many thoughts have been lost in this maze
Still, I beg peace
As we confront this mess
And I don't wanna see you no more
please I just wanna feel like before
Cause I don't wanna see you no more
For God's sake, please please, no more

You cannot please everyone
Sylvia get your job done
You have slept a week by now
Sun will still rise anyhow
Even if there’s not a point
Get up it won’t disappoint you – maybe
Certain days I feel alone
Like that night in Houston
When I came to understand
All good things come to an end
After all that fun and laughs
Time for me to come back - sadly
You must make your parents proud
Pave the way and don't look back
Let me whisper that out loud
One more week and I will crack
Till I come back
Will I stop feeling so bad
This sore throat it drives me mad
Will I remember this pain
Or will I forget it
As it always happens
I’ll erase this suffering - sadly
You must make your parents proud
Pave the way and don't look back
Let me whisper that out loud
One more week and I will crack
Till I come back
You must make your parents proud
Pave the way and don't look back
Let me whisper that out loud
One more week and I will crack
Till I come back

I know nothing is free
I pay a fee to see
Show your world to me
You’re online every night
Show me your delight
I wanna stream you in my room
Baby - tell me what’s your price
One look of your supple skin i forget
I’ll never kiss your lips
You want to know how we met
A two minute clip for free
The rest is destiny
I want to su/bscribe right
The package with the best price
50 dollars more and I can text you anytime I like
One look of your supple skin I forget
I’ll never kiss your lips

One million things happening
Inside of me as we speak
I can't help but see
Every part of this city I call me
As I fret
I’m unconsciously gasping for breath
Without thinking I am holding my pee
All gets blurry - I am suddenly free
We only have two minutes to live but
Every breath we take
We restart the countdown
And if I’m ever taking a break
I’ll be ok: you have to trust the process
I am looking out from the
Windows of my house
Still I cannot help but see
That you’re looking back at me
Fright or desire
Just your gaze lights up my fire
Through the glass we are meant to be
Still my heart gasps endlessly
We only have two minutes to live but
Every breath we take
We restart the countdown
And if I’m ever taking a break
I’ll be ok: you have to trust the process

If I do pretend
And keep my arms still
Will you be able to tell me
Whether I’m a statue or a calm living being
I’ll dive off my trampoline
Causing ocean waves of tiny balloons
You’re a spoon, which collects them and ignites
While the colors they catch fire I’ll open my iTunes
Need to listen to "Last Nite"
When I was 9 - olympic white
The Strokes releasing "Is This It"
I go to school (frightened as hell)
Since I saw the Twin Towers falling
While was playing with my friend
Then that old friend of mine had his hair dyed
Took a bad turn, never saw him until now
Used to play with Mini 4WD's with him
As New York was catching fire
What I remind
What I forget: 20 years, 4 months since then
All things must pass, memories last
Did they put "New York City Cops" back
On the U.S.’ tracklist?

I’d rather understand why
You always disappear
As the summer fades, and I
I try to persevere
Another year is going away
Yet I am still insincere
Is it my only chance to sway
Or am I a souvenir?
And when nostalgia of the future hits
As I crack some leaves
walking outdoor last December
In green grass
What a splendour
I can’t understand
what I’m living through
Or am i supposed to
Fake it till i make it - so are you
When our life is over
nothing’s changed but we still had a ride
I don't care about the lyrics
I'ma say whatever rhymes
I’m still not understanding why
I want to disappear
22 years old trapped inside
A pickled livered queer
Another week counting the days
Wait for time to pass
The calendar that never ends
A cardboard meant to last
Face the black hole of the past
As I crack a beer
Hiding indoors from the sun
On the couch I’m having fun
I can’t understand
what I’m living through
Or am i supposed to
Fake it till i make it - so are you
When our life is over
nothing’s changed but we still had a ride
I don't care about the lyrics
I'ma say whatever rhymes

It's a quiet morning
I should definitely take a poop
Before noon
It’s almost noon, actually
I never get to do things
When I am awake
Cause when I dream
I often dream of things
I never get to do
irl, irl
When i get to dream things
I never dream about light
(cause I am scared of it)
When I think of light
I always think of darkness
During the night
I like the night cause there’s no light
I like the night cause there’s no light
I like the night cause there’s no light
I like the night cause there’s no light
I like the night cause there’s no light
I like the night a lot

Shred your letters in the machine
Wash away memories that they’ll never read
Insurance claims and credit card fees
Boring things remind them how hard living can be
They stick around a couple of weeks
Clean the life out from the room where you used to sleep
Wipe the dust that you used to be
Landlord says they’ve gotta leave the place looking neat
Not even Homer's Ulysses can last through the end of time, so
What made us believe our love story ever stood a chance?
Stubborn young arrogance
Clear the message from your machine
It’s been 15 years since they’ve seen one of these
Love letters written by me
Buried underneath a stack of your magazines
All those things that you meant to me
You made living life just a bit more easy
They see my name written in green
Right before I’m eaten by those sharp metal teeth
Not even Joyce’s Ulysses will last through the end of time so
What made us believe our love story ever stood a chance?
Stubborn young arrogance

Hoping that a truck comes crashing through my walls
That I am mauled
Over in a second without any pain
It's easier that way
Today is my last day
30 little suns all rising in a row
I feel the glow
Warming up my summer skin
I wanna know
If I am still alive
Have tires closed my eyes?
Do as I please
A falsity
I'm far from free
Tell me how to make you scream
The same head
With different dreams
Biology
Being bad, it worries me
Record my monstrosity
And make it free
For all to see
Create what I criticize
Ritualize
For now, this power's mine
Fuck you till you die
Do as I please
A falsity
I'm far from free
Tell me how to make you scream
The same head
With different dreams
Biology
Being bad, it worries me
Do as I please
A falsity
I'm far from free
Tell me how to make you scream
The same head
With different dreams
Biology
Being bad, it worries me

Running so fast can’t stay on my feet
Dodging these questions hurled at me
“Do you feel OK?”
Vision is fragmented and incomplete
I feel so weak, can I take a seat?
I’m sorry I can’t stay
The only way we really live is free
I don’t wanna wait and see
This could start inside of me
All of the ways I define me
Are all dependent on the greed
The spectre and spectee
Drift in an ever-shifting sea
How long till these cold waters start to freeze?
I’ll take you down with me
The only way we really live is free
I don’t wanna wait and see
This could start inside of me
I don’t wanna wait and see
This could start inside of me

Si je me lève toujours tard
Et tu parts, tu t’en va
Tu restes loin des jours entiers
En Sicile, tu rentres pas
Puis tu m’appelle
L’angoisse non plus
Ce qui reste c’est ma hâte de venir
Ai-je le temps de mourir restant vivant ?
Je vis seul dans ces jours
Le voisin fait du bruit
Le matin tôt s’en va
Et le lit, je le fais plus
J’ai lu peu dans ces jours,
De ces livres de la bibliothèque.
Je dois apprendre à rester seul
Pendant un petit temps
Si je me lève toujours tard
Et tu parts, tu t’en va
Tu restes loin des jours entiers
En Sicile, tu rentres pas
Puis tu m’appelle
L’angoisse non plus
Ce qui reste c’est ma hâte de venir
Ai-je le temps de mourir restant vivant ?
Je vis seul dans ces jours
Le voisin fait du bruit
Le matin tôt s’en va
Et le lit, je le fais plus
J’ai lu peu dans ces jours,
De ces livres de la bibliothèque.
Je dois apprendre à rester seul

Lonely Chimneys

Bare black trees and lonely chimneys
Far as the eye can see
Empty landscape of scorched up memories
Where my home used to be
I can’t see the lights of the town
There are no trees on the ridge
Granite vertebrae of my home
The marrow of my bones
Bare black trees and lonely chimneys
Far as the eye can see
Empty landscape of scorched up memories
Where my home used to be
Smoke and ash descend on the valley
A month of nothing but night
Fauna running from the inferno
Nowhere’s been spared from the blight

If I told you that I miss you
Would you call me for a talk
I’ve become a wretched creature
Giving life to my dark thoughts
If I ever get to kiss you
Will it break my fragile heart?
Consequences of my actions
Early death tears us apart
And I fall for you
Without wanting too
some secret things to do
It's cruel ‘cause I’m so far away from you
How does it feel?
We don’t exist
Our Lake Geneva
Is covered in mist
You’re safe and sound
When I’m not around
Chasing you through melting ice caps
Shadows of my sinful soul
Board a boat of drifting dreamers
Warn them of the tides dark pull
And I fall for you
Without wanting too
Some secret things to do
It's cruel ‘cause I’m so far away from you
And I fall for you
Without wanting too
some secret things to do
It's cruel ‘cause I’m so far away from you
How does it feel?
We don’t exist
Our Lake Geneva
Is covered in mist
You’re safe and sound
When I’m not around
How does it feel?
We don’t exist
Our Lake Geneva
Is covered in mist
You’re safe and sound
When I’m not around

I don't want to know
If your garden grows
I just want to glow
Night time in the rain
Do you feel the pain
As a neon sign
I light those desert streets
And no one cares
As a tiny radio’s playing
"Live forever" by Oasis
We see things they'll never see
I just want to fly
I don't wanna die
As I cross the sky
I have lost my ear
On the Atlantic sea
Will you hear for me?
Can’t hear those louder sounds
And no one cares
As a tiny radio’s playing
"Live forever" by Oasis
Maybe you are the same as me
Afraid of not existing after death
How should i cope with that?
Leaning forward to see over myself
And on thin ice, you whispered
"Look before you leap"
But it’s too late
There’s nothing left
Cause I’ve gone deaf
I don't want to know
If your garden grows
I just want to glow
I’ll be a neon light
Brighten the night
As a tiny radio’s playing
"Live forever" by Oasis

Better Days

A life designed for fun
While time waits to be born
Among a smoking gun
I close my eyes to dream
A world beyond you and me
But I cannot see anything
Thirty spins around the sun
I feel like I am almost done
Thirty spins around the sun
I am done
I thought I might be bright
Enough to give you all sight
To help you see how I see
I tried to be the sun
I tried to force everyone
To run their laps around me
Thirty spins around the sun
I feel like I am almost done
Thirty spins around the sun
Earth spins within
And earth spins without me
Nature dreams joyfully
striving to be
Earth spins within
And earth spins without me
Nature dreams joyfully
striving to be
Earth spins within
And earth spins without me
Nature dreams joyfully
striving to be
Earth spins within
And earth spins without me
Nature dreams joyfully
striving to be
