"Je m'aperçois que vieillir, c'est savoir discerner la part d'absence, absente de chaque nouveauté." (Yves Simon, La dérive des sentiments) Parce que les êtres ne sont pas interchangeables, même si nous croyons un temps gommer la douleur qui nous vrille le coeur en nous élançant à corps perdu vers de nouveaux horizons.
How to stand one´s ground
When the flood drowns
Everything around
Conceals and buries under
How to rebuild and re-design
How to forge as whole
And re-divide
Broken and torn asunder
How to speak without a sound
Without a voice
Utter the words profound
Into the silence
How to comprehend and to abide
How to re-arrange and re-define
The emptiness inside
Cold winds of the north
Black waters and
The frozen shores
Are waiting for the storm
No trails leading forth
No pathway to the woods
Forsaken and forlorn
As the crow flies
In a line from A to B
No more false starts
Just find your way to me
Due north
You just have to believe
We'll sail to the end of the world
But good sailors always return
So hold on to hope
And pray there will be
Fair wind and following sea
As the tide is turning
And I am far from shore
You're the night-time beacon
Guiding me to port
Due north
My true,
True north
We just have to believe
We'll sail to the end of the world
But a good sailor always returns
So hold on to hope
And just pray there will be
Fair winds and following seas
Windward turns
Are how we learn
How to be free
And through the dark
We will sail by the stars
On fair wind and following sea
True north
Sweet little words made for silence not talk
Young heart for love not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour's never a wasted one
The violin, the poet's hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he's still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand's still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they're still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
Caught up in heaven but your heaven ain't the same
And I've never been a saint, have I?
This evanescence always fleeting like a flame
But I'm never one to change, am I?
Call it a lesson when I feel you slide away
And I'm missing out on half my life
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Hang on to moments like they'll never drift away
'Cause you'll never get to say goodbye
I ask no questions as your colours take their hold
As my darkness turns to gold inside
I learned my lesson when I felt you slip away
And I'm missing out on half my life
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
(You make me a complete mess)
(You make me a complete mess)
Caught up in heaven but your heaven ain't the same
But I've never been a saint, have I?
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me a complete mess
Why am I so dependent?
Thoughts runnin' through my mind
My shoulders carry all the pressure (pressure, oh)
Even though I'm so relentless
No matter how hard I try
It feels like it ain't getting better (better)
Oh, if only I can find the light
To illuminate the dark inside
Escape from all the fears in me I hold
What if I could let go?
Both feet off the ground
What if there's a place
Where all my troubles can't be found?
And what if I would reach it?
My mind up in the clouds
What if I just break away from noises in the crowd?
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
This feeling, I can't explain it
It's something that I can't describe
I'm floatin' without being weightless (oh)
I've been through all different phases
After falling down a million times
At least now I can say I've tried
I tried, I tried
Oh, if only I can find the light
To illuminate the dark inside
Escape from all the fears in me I hold
What if I could let go?
Both feet off the ground
What if there's a place
Where all my troubles can't be found?
And what if I would reach it?
My mind up in the clouds
What if I just break away from noises in the crowd?
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
When gravity's not around
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever
When love must die?
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you And at sweet night, you are my own Take my hand
We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning light We'll be half way to anywhere Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I No one knows who we are there All I want is to give my life only to you I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore Let's run away, I'll take you there
We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the mornings light We'll be half way to anywhere Where no one needs a reason
Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you
Forget this life Come with me Don't look back you're safe now Unlock your heart Drop your guard No one's left to stop you now
We're leaving here tonight There's no need to tell anyone They'd only hold us down So by the morning light We'll be half way to anywhere Where love is more than just your name
Ain't no use in running
If it leads you to the fire
And you flirt with falling
Walking on the wire
Without warning
You find you're the prey
When you're cornered
And there's no escape
Dancing with the snake
I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote
Heavy armor
Makes it hard to fight
It's like treading water
Or swimming against the tide
Now you're at war
You're fighting so hard
But the torture
Has become your god
I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote
I wish that I could take the pain
If only I could take your place
When there's nothing left, there's nothing left to lose
I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote, woah, woah, ooh
When you don't have the antidote
Vertigo in your arms
One second you hate me then it's false alarm
That's just what you always do, every time
Watch me when I break and say it's paradise
Set my body aflame
Lock me up and close the door when it rains
Maybe it's my fault I put you up so high
Darling, I think you could make the devil cry
And I've been waiting for the sunset
Waiting on a sorry
But you're never sorry, are you?
No, you don't even care
How can you stand to watch while I'm
Breaking all my bones
Tryna hold you close
Cut my heart right out my body
Tearing off my skin
Just to let you in
Isn't it a bit unethical?
Got me on my knees
Have you any mercy
Every time you hurt me, baby?
Tell me have I not given you enough?
If you ever loved me, let me go
I don't know what it is
Got me wrapped around your cold fingertips
Maybe it's my fault I can't walk away
Maybe I just thought you'd feel a little shame
Oh I've been waiting for the sunset
Waiting on a sorry
But you're never sorry, are you?
No, you don't even care
How can you stand to watch while I'm
Breaking all my bones
Tryna hold you close
Cut my heart right out my body
Tearing off my skin
Just to let you in
Isn't it a bit unethical?
Got me on my knees
Have you any mercy
Every time you hurt me, baby?
Tell me have I not given you enough?
If you ever loved me, let me go
Let me go
I'll let you go if
You let me go
Let me go
And I've been waiting for the sunset
Waiting on a sorry
But you're never sorry, are you?
No, you don't even care
How can you stand to watch while I'm
Breaking all my bones
Tryna hold you close
Cut my heart right out my body
Tearing off my skin
Just to let you in
Isn't it a bit unethical?
Got me on my knees
Have you any mercy
Every time you hurt me, baby?
Tell me have I not given you enough?
If you ever loved me, let me go
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know
And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
Someone you don't know (Whoa)
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
I've tried
But I still can't read your mind
Wonder if there was a sign
That somehow slipped me by
If you're right at the edge or you've found someone else
Let me know
Oh
Tell me when it's over
Don't make me ask
Come a little closer
And break me like glass
If you're planning to go, just don't leave any hope
That you're ever coming back
Tell me when it's over
Kill me quick, kill me fast
I'll stay
Sleeping in the bed we made
And I hope you know, I'll wait
Never love no one again, mm, not again
If you're just at the start, and I'm still in the dark
Let me know
Ooh
And just tell me when it's over
Don't make me ask
Come a little closer
And break me like glass
If you're planning to go, just don't leave any hope
That you're ever coming back
Tell me when it's over
Kill me quick, kill me fast
Well, go and take what you want, was it me all along?
Yeah, I know, I know
But tell me when it's over
Don't make me ask
Come a little closer
And break me like glass
If you're planning to go, just don't leave any hope
That you're ever coming back
Tell me when it's over
Kill me quick, kill me fast
Kill me quick, kill me fast
Kill me quick, kill me fast
I can take the rain on the roof
Of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then
And just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though goin' on with you gone
Still upsets me
There are days every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most is being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you
Everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile
When I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed
Livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
All the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most is being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do, ooh
Hey, yeah
What hurts the most was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seein' that lovin' you
And that's what I was trying to do, oh-oh
Burning everything I know Desperate for a change Crashing down the ancient roads Past our yesterday
Maybe there is hunger in my blood Screaming out loud for what I want See me running full speed at it Shattering, collide Call it post-traumatic Now it's do or die
Coming after tiny fractures Coming after tiny fractures See me running full speed at it Coming after tiny fractures Call me post-traumatic What comes after, tiny fractures
Tiny fractures...
Feeding frenzy is in my brain I'm hopeful every day I gotta get it while we are still young enough to break We're finally not afraid
Maybe there is hunger in my blood Screaming out loud for what I want See me running full speed at it Shattering, collide Call me post-traumatic Now it's do or die
Coming after tiny fractures Coming after tiny fractures See me running full speed at it Coming after tiny fractures Call it post-traumatic What comes after, tiny fractures
Take a look past our innocence, take a step back to yesterday When life would move slower, we would never grow up All we knew that love was for when we're older Anything could happen, secretly imagine They could never tear us apart too young to fall
This is our story that we could take back some day Our lonely glory that we could get back they say This is our story that we could take back some day Our hope if only that we could take back (some day some day some day some day some day some day some day) That we could take back some (day day day day day day day day day)
This is our story that we could take back some day Our lonely glory that we could get back they say This is our story that we could get back some day Our hope if only that we could take back some

I know that we are upside down
So hold your tongue and hear me out
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
I am a fire, you're gasoline,
Come pour yourself all over me
We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time
You kill the lights, I'll draw the blinds
Don't dull the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break
So what? I don't mind
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night? (we get burned!)
Doesn't mean we're bound for life (we never learn!)
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Night night night night night...
ARE YOU GONNA STAY THE NIGHT?!
Are you gonna stay the night?
Doesn't mean we're bound for life
So oh oh, are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Are you gonna stay the night?
Oh oh oh oh.
Are you gonna stay the night?
It's hard to tell these days in which way that we're falling
I'm not sure anymore what's right or what is wrong
It hurts to feel, to think, to know I may be nothing
But then again, I've been wrong before
I've opened up my eyes
Just to wish that I'd stayed blind
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end?
Over and over
Until it's over
The end
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end?
Over and over
Until it's over
願いを掛けて祈りを捧げ
誰も知らない未来ならば
願いを掛けて命を捧げ
すべてが消えても構わない (burn it to the ground)
構わない (burn it to the ground)
構わない (burn it to the ground)
すべてが消えても (Burn it, burn it, burn it down)
Blacken out the sky
And let the arrows fly
It's never over
Not 'til it's over
Outside looking in
When do the nightmares end?
Over and over
Until it's over
Just start it over
Until it's over
Over and over
The end
The end
(yeah) (yo) You were that foundation Never gonna be another one, no. I followed, so taken So conditioned I could never let go Then sorrow, then sickness Then the shock when you flip it on me So hollow, so vicious So afraid I couldn't let myself see That I could never be held Back or up no, I'll hold myself Check the rep, yep you know mine well Forget the rest let them know my hell There and back yet my soul ain't sell Kept respect up,the best they fell, Let the rest be the tale they tell That I was there saying...
In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you Go, go, go.
Test my will, test my heart Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up Y'all go hard, I go smart How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh? I've seen that frustration Been crossed and lost and told, "No." And I've come back unshaken Let down and lived and let go So you can let it be known I don't hold back, I hold my own I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone I can't fall back, I came too far Hold myself up and love my scars Let the bells ring wherever they are 'Cause I was there saying...
In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you go! Go, go, go.
No, you can tell 'em all now I don't back up, I don't back down I don't fold up, and I don't bow I don't roll over, don't know how I don't care where the enemies are Can't be stopped, all I know; go hard Won't forget how I got this far For every time saying...
In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you Go, go, go (go, go, go) Go, go, go (go, go, go)
I boarded up the doors, but you still broke in
Been picking up the pieces of myself
You went and painted black what once was golden
You're a better version of a different hell
We speak in tongues and we disguise our faces
But in the dark, I always know it's you
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
Tonight will end
And tomorrow you'll be gone
Tomorrow you'll be gone
I'd learn to tear these walls down if you'd let me
Been holding on to secrets we can't tell
Now I'm burning all the letters that you left me
Some part of me would love to wish you well, but I don't
We pretend to know the words, but nothing changes
The hardest truth's the lie I held onto
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
'Cause tonight will end
And tomorrow you will say you found yourself
And you wish me back to hell
But you'll lay your head down with me on your mind
So go dream of someone else
Because we cannot fix ourselves
We only have the scars we tried to hide
But we've done this dance before a thousand times
So torture me when it's over
And I lose composure
It's all in my head
But I still keep holding on
Your words like crimson and clover
Call back when you're sober
Tonight will end
And tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm out of reach, you're out of bed
We can't avoid it, it'll bite in the end
Yesterday is over, so let's not pretend
We can start over, have things to defend
I'm gonna leave here, I'll explain in a note
How I betrayed you and covered it up
I'll fall on my knees, I'll fall on my sword
No one will ever love you like I did before
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
A far-away station, a stranger in a coat
You're my salvation, waiting in the cold
An audible screech, a visible groan
I tried my best to build us a home
I'm done repeating, but then again, no
The more that I do it, it becomes habitual
It falls on deaf ears, hope falls to the floor
No one knows anything, I know that for sure
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
Goodbye, forever
But it hurts
Goodbye to everyone
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I'll miss you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all
I've blessed you all
All
Goodbye, my love
It was too much but never enough
Goodbye, my lover
Why did we even bother?
Goodbye, forever
But it hurts
Goodbye to everyone
