(Halas)
What can I do to get close to you
What can I do to break through
I’ve tried slicing the air in half
Grasping for oxygen, we fell apart
What can I do to get it all back
Since it’s no longer allowed (We fall apart)
For our hearts to intertwine
We self-isolate, we pulsate
To the rhythm of silence
It’s all in the skin, we’re now paper-thin
Our brittle veins shine through in neon blue
Flashing desperately like abandoned city lights
It’s been so long we’ve forgotten how to touch (Turn back time)
It’s been so long we’ve forgotten how to follow
The papillary lines until we find
That unexpected solace in violence
Do you remember that time
When you rested your hands in mine
And then you found your way up to my throat
Letting my soul float high above
I painted the ceiling with tears that night
I know that this half-life is all we have
Until we find
Until we find
Until we find a way to survive
(Pierre)
Ma vie n'est qu'une masquarade, une vaste blague, je porte un masque
Et passe à l'acte uniquement quand j'approche de l'impasse
Serais-je le prochain peace à passer l'arme à gauche ?
Capable de me défiler frappé par la faucheuse
Qui veut la paix ferme sa gueule et encaisse
Les messes basses et les frasques des presque potes aux mesquineries diverses
J'esquive l'averse un soir d'hiver ou d'automne
Traverse la ville en quête de fuite de cette vie monotone
Sans une thune tenter l'autoroute et se faire recaler au péage
C'est l'âge où les pages se tournent et où ta fougue dégage
En déroute, j'écoutais toutes les foutues fables et forcément
J'ai foncé dans le décor, c'est quand t'es mort que les gens t'accordent de la reconnaissance
La connaissance innée n'existe pas
J'ai mis trop d'années à m'évader car les aléas de la vie n'aident pas
Je suis qu'un pauvre type n'est-ce pas, vous pouvez rire mais je crois
Qu'il vous suffit de mater un miroir pour trouver pire que moi
