Contempt 03:18
Another day another fight Against the time until the night Against myself as last resort With all these thoughts that you exhort Everytime I open the door I see that you're not here And when I shut the lights off I'm alone with my own fear This crippling fear soothes the devil that I couldn't fight anymore All I did ask was your presence and your guidance oh nothing more For you are the reason I am choking myself to sleep Between you and me there are secrets that I can't keep Not yours, not mine, not anybody's fault (He said)/I said no more, I killed the man I use to be (He said)/I said no more, and she will never forgive me (He said) / I said no more, leaving behind no legacy (He said)/ I said no more, its just a distant memory (He said)/ I said no more, to the shattered dreams I used to make (He said)/ I said no more, oh it's better for my own sake Whatever happens to us, it doesnt affect me, and whatever you suggest, I wish you the best, now move along This day feels so different, I don't know how, but I can tell Finally I see that God has freed me from my cell Now I can sing along the world and its colours, Because our world hasn't stopped, right after our doors Oh Lord, I fought it to the end, And now I feel the world beneath my hand.

Soul 02:15
I hear my name, they scream in vain (and it's too late to go back now), A thousand waves, sliced on my neck, And I couldn't picture a best way, To drown my own desire. She speaks to me, some kind of words (and it's too late to turn back now), She turns me on, but she knows I won't, Answer her calls, Scared of losing everything. (Blinded by your own truth, Bruised up by your own lies, Wake me up with words, I could read on an obituary, Choke me with your stories, Stitch me up with your tongue, As I could die from the venom Of a treacherous snake) Untrue through the scattered lies you keep it among us but you cannot decide what is real or not. Even when you thought you were done you chased out your own fear but now you're acting out like a whinny little child. Don't you wanna be a hero anymore ? I just wanna be a human, nothing more. I don't wanna be a hero anymore, I just wanna be a human, nothing more.

If you want to be free you have to trust no one, No one excepts me, If you want to leave me, you have to lose it all, Burn your soul away, If you want to believe, you have to let behind, Every people you care, If you want to break out, you have to know, That we will remain, A one life stand. All my life, I've been waiting for someone to kick me in the ribs, All my life, has been a lie that I made up to protect my feelings, Everytime I close my eyes, I see despair and the devil taunting me, And I just need to vanish until I get back to you. For you but not for me, My one life stand. When I smell your perfume, I assume, That you and I, Are simply mystified, And when you speak to me, Dans la nuit, I understand, I'm just a one life stand. When I smell your perfume, I assume, That you and I, Are simply on deny, And when you come to me, Ma chérie, I understand, I'm just a one life stand. Landing my eyes, upon the stars, Looking how they shine, when the night and I are blue, Regrets dripping down on my shivering spine, Heartless and hurtful when my eyes are set on you. I don't mind the filthy little lines, That you're drawing around me, Everytime I fall for you But I will mind every heavy shameful looks, That you will give me, When I'll have enough of hearing your own lies. If only you knew, How bad things really were, The day you disappeared, But don't you worry my dear, Life goes on and so are we. But don't you worry my dear, Life goes on and so are we. But don't you worry my dear, Life goes on and so are we. For you, but not for me, My one life stand.

Framed 05:18
Through the void, I hear a voice, I crawl to it, I have no choice, Empy my soul and bleach my lust, I crave for more, passionate thirst. But please don't beg for debts I can't repay, Some things are not the way they seem, I know you're not the way they say, But please don't beg away your dream. Bounded by pain but freed from doubt, You're hauting me, within my thoughts, Yet I left this world in my prime, I feel alive for the first time. But you can't always see, Dangers when it comes to flee, You try to run away, in this echo. You keep begging for more, The wave breaks against the shore At least you're free, for now... Our word, our calls, two worlds it falls, ...apart... One night, one last, to make it right, A piece of art... Would I stay up so late, For a face to share a fate, I know you're scared, I was the same, We'll build a place to feel no shame. Bring her back to me. It kills, it hurts, emancipates, Our memory, it dissipates, I track the truth, it never ends, Please dry my tears with your soft hands. Oh no, I cannot feel the way you feel, I cannot see the way you see, I cannot express how I fear, Am I in love or down the pier ? We've chased for this throughout our lives, It kills, it hurts, the despair thrives, We had to die to found ourselves, And now we're both under our spells. But you can't always see, Dangers when it comes to flee, You try to run away, in this echo. You keep begging for more, The wave breaks against the shore At least you're free, for now... Our word, our calls, two worlds it falls, ...apart... One night, one last, to make it right, A piece of art... Would I stay up so late, For a face to share a fate, I know you're scared, I was the same, We'll build a place to feel no shame. No eyelids for ear, Time to shut off my fear, I belong to you, Deep down you know it's true. We were so young, such a pity, It brings back an old memory, Baby come to me.

Hooked 04:14
Let me hear this deep silence, So I'll enjoy the things you keep intense, Towards us, our body our essence. It sure is easy to let go, When you tell me what I want to know, I can't get hooked or I will feel so low. Bring me back this melody, The shaky breath we made so quietly, The shattered dreams of what we used to be. We built our love thrust after thrust, Through the heat we found our trust, I can't get hooked or I will come to rust. Fear are shut and so are doubts when I get close, Like a sun your warm touch as a drug dose. I know that I feel free when you re out of my eyesight, Even when you re not here, you still warm me up at night.

Come and sing this song, Just to prove me wrong, Can't wait to hear you, When you know I'm here. Can't wait to lay my head on you, While you sing this song, out of the blue. It can be loud or it can be calm, I'll keep on waiting cause I really don't mind, My heart is burning like napalm, Grasping for anything I could find. You knew that I was ready to give myself up to fate right ? I'm sure you knew, I alway felt like a wraith. It can be loud or it can be calm, I'll keep on waiting cause I really don't mind, Opened to the sky, raising up my palm, There's no going back, there is no rewind. I keep hearing this melody, It brings back an old memory, I wish that you remained the same, But your calls make me feel so lame. I wish that you could hear the truth, But you're just blinded by your youth, You can't admit you're insecure, You keep falling for the same lure. I'll sing it for you then.
