Glide

sing like a bird, 
crawl like a snake
fly over frontiers, 
still as a lake
shine like the moon, 
feel the devotion
hover like an eagle, 
dance like the ocean
sleep like a cat, 
hunger like a roar
thread like a jag, 
lay like the shore
move like wind, 
surprise like wild
float like clouds, 
dream like a child

i want to, i want to 2x

glide like a fish through the water
glide like a fish 
through the sea
glide

scream like a monkey
jump like time
laugh like the flowers
taste sweet like wine
shed like a reptile,
soothe like summer
i wanna feel like rays,
like shooting stars
i wanna feel these days, 
fill me up
empty me, 
hold me, 
set me free

rise like the sun, 
release like rain
melt like snow, 
let go, i want to

glide like a fish through the water
glide like a fish through the sea
glide

when the sound is silence and the
silence is sound is when i'm found

like pelicans over waves,
like fish through the water

 

Radical

this is my day, i gave it away
and the next day i'll try to give more
from the heart
time and time make a new start
over and over play the part and 
i'm confused
one thing is bright as a star 
if i'm not myself 
i'd never get far

oh i think it's radical the way we can feel 
oh i think it's magical the way we can be
oh we gotta keep it gotta keep it real

i think i may have freaked you out a bit
not sure why
maybe you see in here
what you'd like to try maybe
but i se you becoming you 
and whatever that may be
i see something awesome
i know you like to see somewhat
negatively

the price you pay is really high 
but when you get paid back
oh it's bigger than the sky
and there's no pay check

am i the moon in love with the sun
am i the sun in love with the moon

confusion's gotta hold on me 
when you're near me i feel chained down
and you tell me to be free
he took a funny turn and he never 
turned back
i think he wanted me to be somebody
else

oh i think it's radical the way we can feel 
oh i think it's magical the way we can be
oh we gotta keep it gotta keep it real

am i the moon in love with the sun
am i the sun in love with the moon
i am the desrt in love with the sea
am i the sea in love with the desert
am i fire am i rain am i secrets or open pages






 

Crumble

don't wanna be 
what i can't be
just wanna be 
who i am
and if it ain't always 
pretty
please don't tell me what i can't
i smoked a cigarette 
i had a drink
i went for walk 
i went for a swim
i'll sing a song
 pick up a telephone 
to talk

to a good friend and i don't feel guilty
if the world's about to crumble i'd
crumble happily

i sing a song 
i admit my wrong
i build walls 
and i get moods
broke a promise 
a silly little promise
now i'm well aware
that if i wanna save 
i'd better spare and
give it away,
give it away

to a good friend and i don't feel guilty
if the world's about to crumble i'd
crumble happily

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stop Talking

i'm on your side 
don't be afraid
i realize that 
you're in pain
i'm sorry
for the way
all i've silenced 
all i've said
there tenderness amongst 
my violence
in my head
for what we are 
there is no name
in this case
there is no blame

let's stop talking
let's keep on walking
let's breathe out what we took in
shake it out of your system
baby baby are you ready
to give in

don't be sad  life is crazy
life is mad could you maybe
believe in something
believe in me believe in yourself
in a beauty

let's stop talking
let's keep on walking
let's breathe out what we took in
shake it out of your system
baby baby are you ready
to give in

my boy i hear you're captured
in a fishnet
lalalala
talk is cheap
i know talk is cheap
i've said too much
not enough i've said too much
talk is cheap
i won't speak again
with such abundance
about it that it
for talk is only talk is cheap
for it is actions
my waterfall of words
is not really heard if it ain't for action-reaction
are you ready to be free

 

 

Childhood without Youth

i've become your ennemy and i
would like to let you know
that i send you all my love

it's gonna take a long,
long time she said
and yes, i nodded my head
i know i nodded my head

for so long we thought we were
the best pair
but i think you confused me with
one of them
maybe in another time or space
day age

i wanna like what shines in us
but your defense is greater
than the attacks i've made
i've become your violator
i wnna like what shines in you
could you conceive of a truth
other than the revival of
a childhood without a youth

you're human

i robbed our friendship
of your lonely pact
to blindly and always
leave all belief intact
you robbed our friendship of all
communication
it's my killer devastation
my sadness is deeper
than you can understand

you're human
i'm human

it's gonna take a long, long time
she said
and yes i nodded my head

 

 

 

 

 

Wake up

make your sacrifice
it's not as hard
as it seems
mark your path
i heard it in my dreams
these whispers
 in the dark stay
untill they've been screamed
away

wake up
wake up
wake up
wake up

i won't let you forget
about my love
i'll build a statue
so we can stand on top
of the world

you're not ready yet
to be taken away
and neither am i
to learn such way
i really do try to never deny
try to deliver when you pass me by
and give you what need
something you could never believe
i'll give you some of me
to mellow your grief

i won't let you forget
about my love
i'll build a statue
so we can stand on top
of the world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Come to me

in labyrinths of memories
the outskirts of disease i'm lost
melancholy's fertile soil
in desperation's grip
in my stare into the void
in just another trip i'm lost

in assumption, in a melody
consumption, in mythology
love hate pleasure pain
deceit trust i am lost
but i'm  here

come to me
take me to another dimension
breathe in me the kiss of life
comfort me
give it all attention
who will take the dive

in disorder of an age in dawn
relationships gone wrong
perfection of the marketed
i'm lost, lost in this
danger safely creeping in
comfort crawling into my skin
ah it's an emergency
somebody rescue me

come to me
take me to another dimension
breathe in me the kiss of life
comfort me
give it all attention
who will take the dive

loneliness boredom fear
paranoia irritation doubt
vapors hazy fumes in the atmosphere
craziness torment obsession
envy vanity possession
power ignorance
the cold cold lack of tolerance
i've lost my mind to talk and cheat
to the engine running on overheat
while standing still
in the desert of neglect
lack of will people to protect
from suffers of neglect

i wanna run, run dride far away from today
everyday's suction to a better place
better world brighter place
into love's embrace

come to me
take me to another dimension
breathe in me the kiss of life
come for me
oh and did i mention
i will take the dive

 

Let me be

i'm wondering
why you called me that night
i'm wondering
what makes you think
you are right about me
i'm baffled
cos you don't ask me how or why
baffled
the ignorance has got you dry
stunned i am ma'am

if you don't like what i do
let me be i'm not you
you can't change
who i am
if you don't know where i stand
if you don't like what i do
let me be
i'm not you
you don't hear me ask you

i'm feeling
a little bit disrespected
i'm feeling ungracefully rejected
i'm tired
you never understood a thing
tired you don't wanna hear me sing
tired
cos you don't really care to know the
meaning

if you don't like what i do
let me be i'm not you
you can't change
who i am
if you don't know where i stand
if you don't like what i do
let me be
i'm not you
you don't hear me ask you

who are you to talk to me like that for
you don't hear me ask you

 

 

 

A Wish

i love you
i never knew i could miss you like i do
i need you secretly i've always known
you were always a home
i like you
and when i hear you smile
makes a lot worthwhile
i'm grateful
for all you've always been
and all you've never said

if i could make a wish now
i wish you were with me
if i could make a wish now
i wish you could see
through the miles and miles between
how i harbour you in me

i remember
all the moments of joy that you gave me
i wanna save you
but i don't know what i'd save you from
it kills me to see you harmed
i feel you
and i feel you thinking of me and the
tears running through me

if i could make a wish now
i wish you were with me
if i could make a wish now
i wish you could see
through the miles and miles between
how i harbour you in me

i spent too much time
silenced in noise
i spent too many days
wondering muted voiced

if i could make a wish now
i wish you were with me
if i could make a wish now
i wish you could see
through the miles and miles between
how i harbour you in me

i love you
i never knew
i could miss you like i do
do do do do

 

 

 






 

Shades

what drives you
the problem can't be solved
if one doesn't know
what exactly is the problem dear
whay exactly haunts you
what exactly happened really
i mean really as in really
now get yourself together
i'm sure somehow
you can remember

surrender
violently but sweet
in lush leave time out frame
tomorrow's not tomorrow
without yesterday
today's not today
if it ain't for now
[maintenant
ahora
nu]

you can try
somehow your best will be enough
nothing's only black or white
there's a shade of colour
for each shade of
love

all the time a little more
you can be your master
you walk through the scapes
drink from the fountains
sleep on this earth
plunge into the sea
you get burned you get shocked
you get gently rocked
where you chose
where you hide where you decide
where you ride the wave through the tide

i'm swallowed in sunlight
its tentacles of light
hold me warm inside

you can try
somehow your best will be enough
nothing's only black or white
there's a shade of colour
for each shade of
love

funny how we tend to believe
we should be somewhere else
il n'y a pas qu'une voix/voie
ecoutez-bien
voyagez loin
et reviens
maintenant
the grass is as geen as you like it to get
