Days 03:38
lyrics

It’s like hearing voices Like being abused I’ll keep hearing voices Oh I suppose Your high is a low Your high is a low Your high is a low The lights expose It’s like hearing voices No one can silence the voices Still on your tracks I used to cherish the voices Ignore to attract Your high is a lie Your high is a lie Your high is a lie The lights in sight It’s like hearing voices Here is for the days we waited Here is for the ones who will make it Here is for the days we faked it We know we’re gonna end like we started The aim's still in the distance Yet nobody moves It's more than I can stand But who’s to oppose? Your high is a low Your high is a low Your high is a low The lights expose It’s like hearing voices Here is for the day we waited Here is for the ones who will make it Here is for the days we faked it We know we’re gonna end like we started

Let Go 03:53
lyrics

Could you ever believe in anyone else? Could you ever believe in someone that you can't stand? No matter what you think No matter how you will feel I fear the idea, oh I fear, of choosing, I fear When pressure is on my side Something's got to give Someone has to give in So why not lie? Can’t give it up, can never let go, can’t give it up And never find answers all by myself Can’t give it up, can never let go, can’t give it up Never find answers all by myself Could you ever let go off the weight on your back Should you make any change it’s no treason to your past No matter what you think No matter how you will feel I feel there is no reason, I feel, for pushing on still the question is on my mind Something’s got to give Do you see what’s coming? Lights, white lines Can’t give it up, can never let go, can’t give it up And never find answers all by myself Can’t give it up, can never let go, can’t give it up Never find answers all by myself If you’re calling off

L'aérotrain 03:36
lyrics
buy track
J'aurais bien aimé quand même Inventer la vie calme et belle, sans histoire Par quel espoir, par quel mystère On se rêve soudain honnête, mais trop tard On file dans l'aérotrain A rêver d'une route sans fin Et lentement je prends de la hauteur Au bout des rails les jours seront meilleurs Lentement je prends de la hauteur Suivre les lumières, prendre la fuite et fendre l'air. J'ai bien essayé quand même Combler le vide, habiller l'air, d'un murmure J'y pense et mes dents se serrent Quand les lumières qui abîment, s'allument On file dans l'aérotrain A rêver d'une route sans fin Et lentement je prends de la hauteur Au bout du rail les jours seront meilleurs Lentement je prends de la hauteur Suivre les lumières, prendre la fuite et fendre l'air

I stayed, for all I stayed, for all people gathered above I stayed I stayed, for all I stayed, under the water Paris echoes I stayed And I understand why this won't last Oh I understand why this can't last But the seahorse, the seahorses seahorse, the seahorses I stayed, for all I wouldn't listen, finally alone I stayed And I understand why this won't last Oh I understand why this can't last But the seahorse, the seahorses seahorse, the seahorses, stayed For all people gathered above, I stayed And under the water Paris echoes, I stayed And I understand why this won't last Oh I understand why this can't last But the seahorse, the seahorses seahorse, the seahorses, stayed

Action 04:15

Every single tear Every little bit of fear I felt before Now that they are gone I see everything they’ve done How it’s wrong to me Everybody laughs Everybody's looking for what to see But me On everybody’s way Is something that keep them running away For more And every action Feels right in the light of its reaction Every action needs reaction Every single tear Every little bit of fear I felt before Now that they are gone I see everything they’ve done How it’s wrong to me Everybody laughs Everybody's looking for what to see But me On everybody’s way Is something that keep them running away For more And every action Feels right in the light of its reaction Every action needs reaction And I can hardly see How I could be of any help in here I can hardly see As far as I can see No nothing ever changes, you’re done to me I can hardly see And every action Feels right in the light of its reaction Every action needs reaction

L'inertie 03:15
lyrics

J'ai pris le temps de perdre mon temps De ne pas dire "je t'aime" assez souvent J'ai vieilli, j'ai grandi, ravalé mes envies Et alors ? A force d'attendre on aura rien A force d'attendre je ne serai rien A peine plus qu'hier, peut-être moins J'ai perdu le temps de prendre mon temps A ne pas dire "je t'aime" à mes parents J'ai vieilli, j'ai grandi, j'ai rajeuni aussi Et alors ? Et à force d'attendre on aura rien A force d'attendre je ne serai rien A peine plus qu'hier, peut-être moins A peine plus qu'hier, peut-être moins J'ai fait le tour de l'inertie, sans tomber J'ai tout fait sans force, on pensait y être arrivés Mais à force d'attendre on aura rien A force d'attendre je ne serai rien A peine plus qu'hier, peut-être moins A peine plus qu'hier, peut-être moins A peine plus qu'hier

I'm stuck in an in-between Stuck and I can't get out Stuck in an in-between I walk but I never get out Felt like you've travelled too far off the premises Felt you've got nothing to keep Names written red on your lips sound like promesses Blood for the ones you'll keep I'm stuck in an in-between Stuck and I can't get out Stuck in an in-between I walk but I never get out Higher the lights Better the reason Darker the lights and we are running round Higher the lights Now and ever Darker the lights and we are running round Felt like you've travelled too far off the premises Felt you've got nothing to keep Names written red on your lips sound like promesses Blood for the ones you'll keep I'm stuck in an in-between Stuck inside and out Stuck and I can't get out Stuck in an in-between Stuck inside and out I walk but I never get out Higher the lights Better the reason Darker the lights and we are running round Higher the lights Now and ever Darker the lights and we are running round Farther the lights Higher the reason Darker the lights and we are running round Higher the lights Now and ever Darker the lights

Oh Love, I got no reason for running down this way Love, I got no reason, do I? Tired love, you didn't want to fight for Aging bruises, unwelcoming doors Torn love, it took me more than I thought But, oh love, I got no reason for Oh Love, I got no reason for running down this way Love, I got no reason, do I? You want more, you don't know what to ask for A lack of bright lights, something you'd stand for Tired love, I won't be looking up more Cause I, love, I got no reason for Oh Love, I got no reason for running down this way Love, I got no reason, do I? Do I, love? Oh Love, I got no reason for running down this way Love, I got no reason, do I? But I, love, could never even find The words held on your mind, love Can't even come close, but should I? Cause I, love, may find a reason for Running down this way, love I need no reason, do I? Do I?

On n'a rien vu venir 03:51
lyrics

A chaque fois on a cru Qu'on y était, que ça irait Et à chaque fois on a cru Que tout serait, différent Les mensonges, la distance et le temps La rancoeur, et le rendement des sentiments Je n'ai rien vu venir Invincible, en équilibre, à me dire Que le meilleur était à venir Et en même temps on entendait La terre trembler, les vitres tomber Et on pensait passer, sauvés Entre les gouttes, les failles sur la route C'était sans compter sur le vent qui s'en est mêlé Sans compter sur le vent qui s'en est mêlé On l'avait vu venir Invisible, en équilibre, sans rien dire On a peut-être vu le pire Je n'ai rien vu venir Invincible, en équilibre, à me dire Qu'on le verrait venir Invisible, en équilibre, sans rien dire On a peut-être vu le pire

I’ve been craving for too long I’ve been thinking but I’ve been wrong to never look back I’ve been thinking for too long Holding myself would keep me strong And I didn’t think twice I’ve been looking for defeat I’ve been wishing that you’d feel sorry for me These days, some will lie, tell it true These days, some will lie, tell it Cause there was nothing that could meet Our expectations How high they used to be These days, some will lie, tell it true These days, some will lie, tell it How I, how I wish we were sometimes Building up for all the future times Getting away from it all How I wish we were still young Without a care in any world And no need to move on I’ve been thinking for too long Holding myself back would keep me strong And I didn’t think twice Do you remember the world was mine? Do you remember we felt like a part of something bigger? Do you remember how thin's the line? Do you remember we crossed it blind? Wish I knew it sooner How I, how I wish we were sometimes Building up for all the future times Getting away from it all I’m still standing, I’m still standing I’m still standing, I still stand straight How I, how I wish we were sometimes Building up for all the future times Getting away from it all

History turned its back on me Now the king’s down on his knees I could stick to what’s left of it Or I could learn to live with this But I might as well be blind Hear the sound of breaking glass Scream for I’ve been trapped and left in An ever-lasting sleep Unmistakably To it no one holds the key But I'll take no blame, I'll take no blame, I should take time to let go Cause you wanted me to understand The world's turning before you know I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame But I might as well be Blindly living, Breathless sleeping It all stops suddenly Ended up fear ahead of me Trying to leave what needs to be But I'll take no blame, I'll take no blame I should take time Too late, No! Cause you wanted me to understand, The world's turning before you know I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame But I might as well be blind Hear the sound of breaking glass Oh I might as well be blind Hear the sound of breaking glass You wanted me to understand I should take time to let go But I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame You wanted me to understand The world's turning before you know I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame You wanted me to understand, I should take time Too late No! But I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame I’ll take no blame Oh I might hear the sound Oh I might hear the sound Oh I might hear the sound hear the

On and on my friends the fire is high I could have tried, resist it all The path is long till the break of dawn And if the choice could be yours instead of mine On and on my friends are running high I could have tried, resist it all The path is long till the break of dawn And if the choice could be yours instead of mine Crazy situations that I didn't want to live Like something had been missing I was trying trying to reveal And if the war is over there's nothing that I want more I did my best for it On and on, silence taking more time Still I can hear your voice, filtered from the noise One in every two words, sometimes even more But listen, your tone doesn't feel right Crazy situations that I didn't want to live Like something had been missing I was trying trying to reveal And if the war is over there's nothing that I want more I did my best for it Crazy situations that I didn't want to live Like something had been missing I was trying trying to reveal And if the war is over there's nothing that I want more I did my best Crazy situations that I didn't really want to live Like something had been missing I was trying trying to reveal And if the war is over there's nothing that I want more I did my best for it

I’ve got feelings of my own I never payed attention They have mislead me before If you’ve got ideas of your own Keep them They’re no solution Take from someone who has more Everyday that passes takes me far from this Everyday that passes brings me back to me These are words you want to hear But you never want to listen These are words you want to hear But you never want to listen Oh I know I got it wrong I can save all these words Years went by and without warning The wall became an ocean And now you don’t get me no more And in the search for perfection Flaws come out in the open Guess you didn’t need me at all Everyday that passes takes me far from this Everyday that passes brings me back to me These are words you want to hear But you never want to listen These are words you want to hear But you never want to listen Oh I know I got it wrong I can save all these words These are words you want to hear But you never want to listen I saw you running out of blood Your cold black heart could not give enough And now I’m running out of nerve But I still wait for you to listen Oh what in the world have I done To deserve so little attention?
