I jumped in the water
Why would I care?
Between the drops
Everything’s calm
Quiet turmoil
And a sky of oil
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Making me small
Reduced to a dot
The pressure grows
As I go down
I let myself drown
Into the void
Don't worry it's only me, it's only me
The people I love
Pass before me
And I can’t hide
Behind their eyes
Mermaids sound like
They could be mine
(But I know) Nothing is free
Nothing is free
Born once again
And ready to leave
Lead me through lust and misery willingly leaning over the abysses
Born once again
And ready to leave
Don’t worry I hate my sins, I hate my sin

Virtues of Failure
03:37
|
|||

I had a 45 days wait
For a 6 feet tall boy
He thinks he build something nice and great
But it’s doomed to be destoyed
Virtues of failure…
I’ve got a 12 miles long heart
And a 10 years old soul
I can’t stand deceiving people
But I need some fire control
Virtues of failure
Bring me back where I begun
When my zeal was overdone
I try to freeze my desire heat
To think twice before I act
And 3 times before I start to speak
Always avoiding eye contact
Virtues of failure
Remind me that we must dare
To cross the lines if we’re prepared
I try to beat this fear of self
I only live once and it’s for me
I stand on my 2 feet just like a bird
Singing this courtship melody
Oh virtues of failure
Bring me back where I begun
Virtues of failure
Remind me that we must dare the failure
Bring me back where I begun
I always crash but it doesn’t matter I’ll try again and fail better.

Hey bubble man
What's up with you so late at night?
Hey stumbling one
Where were you at when the sun was bright?
A realm made of rubble is not worth fighting for
Hey starving boy
No school tomorrow no one to reflect into
Head in your hands
Remember what you’re supposed to do
The decay of the clock and how you ran away
Her hair around your neck and how you used to play
Hey bubble man
What's up with you so late at night?
Hey stumbling one
Where were you at when the sun was bright?
Hey little baby
How can I help? How can I rescue you?
If I don't get you it'll fade away the thin life inside of me

When I pass out at 5 AM
I start to float like a dead leaf
I float again
And hope to meet
My most fantastic heart’s belief

Crumble

I’ll never stop acting like a kid
It’s in my innocence inside
An easy way
To get away from these thoughts with no sense
Tell me when it ends
No defense
Just time passing by
Sometimes it’s just fine
To be dizzy by the night
Take a shot
Dance, twist, cheers
Rebuild the world and forget
This laugh echoes in your head
As you know you’ll meet it soon,
Joy is burning
There’s no need to say the unsaid
As she grows in your inner room, heart’s beating faster
Heavily sedated
Need a little time to rest my stoned mind
From this forbidden fruit
I lost my grip and broke my hips
Hit the ground
But you’re always around to dig up the pieces
I raise my voice to tell you things
But all you hear is just a morning silent scream
Just lay down and wait for a chemical reaction triggered by a glass
Take my sun with your clouds to make shine a rainbow over our grass
Is there any good choice?
I simply want to rejoice in her childishness
There’s no word to explain
There’s no way to bargain
Maybe you’re just in love with pain

Old Shepherd
02:59

All day above the grass
You gotta eat your weight in hopes
Be back before it's dark
Wisdom knob could be turned up
You should come and I would stay
No place like home so they say
Nothing is accomplished
None of us wanna play today
Old shepherd is blind
Hippie skank just hangs around
You should come and I would stay
No place like home so they say
You should come and I would stay
No place like home or so they say
Reminds me of him
And all the sheep that turned away
When he fell from a cliff
It's my head that crashed on the ground
You should come and I would stay
No place like home so they say
You should come and I would stay
No place like home so they say
No place like home so they say

I quit my dreaming the moment that I found you
I started dancing just to be around you
Here's to thinking that it all meant so much more
I kept my mouth shut and opened up the door
I wanted nothing but for this to be the end
For this to never be a tied and empty hand
If all the trouble in my heart would only mend
I lost my dream, I lost my reason all again
It's not just me for you
I have to look out too
I have to save my life
I need some peace of mind
I am the only one now
I am the only one now
I am the only one now
You may not be around
You may not be around
You may not be around
I am the only one now
I am the only one now
I am the only one now
I am the only one now

Angry Knee
03:58

Feels like it’s another crappy day
Out of my cocoon
And if I got nothing smart to say today
Meet me up in June
I caught you staring at my ways
While I was on my solemn knee
Don’t you want a taste of that alchemy
And get in motion
Maybe we can sort some kind of remedy
Out of a poison
I caught you staring at my ways
While I was on my solemn knee
It’s all right, it’s all fine
I’ll keep looking for you till you are mine
It’s all right, it’s all cool
But too bad for you, I’m stubborn as a mule
Crawling in the maze of a festival
Looking for a crush
Spend the last 2 days with good old pal
Tippling in the rush
Drugged up people roam the gymnasium
Smoking with no plan
Can’t see where you are in this aquarium
But I’ve got my wingman
I caught him staring at your sis’
While she was tanning her white chest
Ooh… what a sweet chest…
While I was on my angry knee…
Feels like it’s a good old rainy day
Out of my coucool
And if you’re asking I’m still okay
Just throw me in the pool
Dancing on this bitch in front of a lake
Ignoring the mess
Still trying to find some hips to shake
Oh wait… There’s a Sicilian actress
She’s gonna be my campsite queen
As I would be king of Catane
It’s all right, it’s all fine
I’ll hydrate this dry mouth with some white wine
It’s all right, it’s all good
Let’s find a place to lie down in the greenwood
It’s all right, it’s all fine
I’ll keep looking for you till you are mine
It’s all right, it’s all cool
But too bad for you, I’m stubborn as a mule

Day Breaks

When the day breaks and you wake
On the tip of a sunbeam
La La La
You find a place you wish you'd stay
Have what it takes and spend the days
Spent the days
So for a while you just lie down
Like a king without a crown
No No No
You know It won't last
Oh no! Gone in a draught
Then it sneaks inside your head
Through the breaches in your head
There She Comes
Stretch your finger to reach her
Lingering over an empty glow
Now You Know… Oh yeah!
Tears welcome every memories
Shade the lights on the reverie
You know It won't last
Oh no ! Gone in a draught

Write it Down
03:37
|

Dream away, travel fast
Forget about your past
Live, feel until you get that thrill
Until your masterpiece becomes real
Artists are a weird kind
Using feelings to clear up their minds
But even if sometimes
You have to fight
Remember we're all kids playing hide
If you're hurt, put it in a note
But quick quick, 'cause me well I forgot
Sometimes out of your mind it can fall
So quick write down your tornadoed soul
Hi there insomnia, I'm glad you came back
I’m Kind'a scared without you I lose the track
Starting from scratch while time goes tic tac
Thoughts are dark because of the window’s lack
Write away, again and again
It doesn't matter if it's pain
Cause we crazy kinds have everything to gain
So cry, laugh, feel it will never be in vain
If you're hurt, put it in a note
But quick quick, ‘cause me well I forgot
Sometimes out of your mind it can fall
So quick write down your tornadoed soul
If you're hurt, put it in a note
But quick quick 'cause me well I forgot
Sometimes out of your mind it can fall
So quick write down your tornadoed soul
