Beginning to Fly
03:47

Now it always starts,
When I'm just beginning to fly
Je suis femme seule
So gloriously alone
Jai envie, envie d'amour
Je suis vide, vide d'amour
Ne pense pas
Ne pense pas
Sois juste
Jai envie, envie d'amour
Je suis vide, vide d'amour
Enough of the world behind the world
You're gonna lose me
I'm gonna lose you
There's no point in hiding from the truth
You're gonna leave me, I'm gonna leave you
Jai envie, envie d'amour
Je suis vide, vide d'amour
Now it always stops
When I'm just beginning to fly
Je suis homme seul
So gloriously alone

Already Got You
04:13
|
|||
|
They're closing in on your mind
All the world's running out of time
Where were you?
After all the Cold War boiled into cameras
You knew
It was never about you
And they're never gonna let you leave
Appear whenever someone thinks about you
You're always afraid of having to choose
That was in the old time
And privacy was not lonely
But where were you?
Now because you're out there
Angels never look upon your breath
Longing to hold you
It was perfect when in-between
No one ever really thought about you
You thought you were new
But you're the last of the old
You thought you were new
But you're the last of the old
You thought you were new
But you're the last of the old
They already got you

Enter As You Leave
04:38
|

|
Come and get you Sunday
Outside the fire
Fake it till you make your desire
I don't want to runaway
From another bruise
Just hit me where I'm cold and cut me loose
The hurt that you seek
Like a dog at the moon
Will return back
When you try to move
Everything's so peaceful
At the end of their eyes
Open up when you're in the light
And the world is a parody
As you form another lie
But the turning of the earth
Will bring your time
The hurt that you seek
Like a dog at the moon
Will return back
When you try to move
The hurt that you seek
Like a dog at the moon
Will return back
When you try to move
A man gets up as quickly
As a specter in a coffin
But he goes to the ground in the same way
You don't have to like it
You don't have to believe
Just enter as you leave
Enter you leave
Enter as you leave
Just enter as you leave
Enter you leave
Enter as you leave
Just enter as you leave
Enter you leave
Enter as you leave
The hurt that you seek
Like a dog at the moon
Will return back
When you try to move

Mon Rêve
03:10
|
|||
|
Mon rêve est fini
Pour vivre un regard suffit
Le cirque, ça va me manquer
C’est drole je ne me sens rien
la plupart du temps,
je suis trop conscient pour être triste
J'ai attendu une éternité pour entendre un mot d'amour
C’est la fin et je ne me sens rien
Les visages, je veux voir des visages
A l'intérieur les yeux fermés
fermez les yeux à nouveau
(My dream is over
To live, a look suffices
I’m going to miss the circus
It’s funny, I don’t feel anything
Most of the time I am too conscious to be sad
I waited an eternity to hear a word of love
It’s the end, and I feel nothing
Faces, I want to see faces
Inside with eyes closed
Close your eyes again)

Right Now
05:10
|

|
Right now, in this place
There's a feeling of happiness.
Je peux le tenir,
toujours, toujours.
Right now, in this place
It must finally become serious
There's a new moon tonight
And I'm lonesome at last.
Tonight, it's time to decide.
Look at me or don't.
There's nothing to hide.
Tonight is finally the time.
Give me your hand,
Or I'll kiss you goodbye.
Angels drop their wings
Give up one your king
Pull me from the light
To be by your side.
Right now, in this place
There's a feeling of happiness.
Je peux le tenir,
toujours, toujours.

Dead Letter
05:09
|
|||
|
Turn around and see, you can do anything
On your way to survive
And if you'd ask me, I would do anything
To replace a disguise
And I didn't know where to begin
Don't want to feel this way again
Beneath a pattern of lies
Back away, so you can go
I won't wait for your replies
Don't you tell me, I won't believe anything
There's nothing left to surprise
Who you want to be, isn't relevant to anything
At all in my life
Because you wouldn't ever let me in
Don't want to play this game again
Beneath a pattern of lies
Fly away to history
The letter wasn't ever meant for me
So you want to be free? You don't need me for anything
On your way to survive
It's confusing, replacing me for a ring
Amelia's in the sky
Because you wouldn't ever let me in
Don't want to feel this way again
Beneath a pattern of lies
You can run, you can go
I won't wait for your replies
Fly away to history
Amelia's in the sky

Sometimes
05:41
|
|||
|
Sometimes these lines
Pull me into the walls
I go so blind
Trying to see it all
I don't want to feel this way again
It's getting cold, cold, cold.
Bending backwards right inside your skin
As you fold, fold, fold.
It'll never be this way again
When we've all grown old.
It doesn't matter what state you're in
If it's all been sold.
Charcoal told me,
"Kiss me upon the mouth.
Burn off feelings."
But I never knew how.
I don't want to feel this way again
It's getting cold, cold, cold.
Bending backwards right inside your skin
As you fold, fold, fold.
It'll never be this way again
When we've all grown old.
It doesn't matter what state you're in
If it's all been sold.
Sold, so...
When it's over, really over,
Cover me with your lies.
You will dream me,
In a circle,
Bound in your arms tonight.
And you open a way, to heaven,
Trip and fall from the sky.
Show me when it's the season,
When aching bones learn to fly.
When aching bones learn to fly.

You're so light today
You know it's been years
Resisting the sway
A kind of air to breathe
The kind you can't get
When you're on your knees
You're holding close
For it to be undone
You're holding still
For it to be undone
A wheel inside a wheel
You wish you could heal
You wish you could feel
A glimpse at yesterday
A look at before
You were this way
You're holding still
For it to be undone
You're floating now
Away from everyone
And I don't know when to let go
Don't know when to let go
'Cause you move me fast
Then way too slow
When will I just let go?
A hand out of the air
Gives you a coin
And you start to care
All the pretty things
They're keeping you here
They're feeding your dreams
You're holding still
For it to be undone
It's over now
Too late to be undone

Little Child
03:46
|
|||
|
When you were a little child
A little piece of something
Entered your mind
Over time it echoed and repeated itself
Every time someone hurt you
But who knows where it began?
If you're in an inner state
I hope you make it through all the lines
The layers piled upon that little pain
That pulls you into the same
No name but
Who knows where it began?
Bring up all the patterns holding you
To your mirrors and the shadows
Holding you
You were never innocent
Because there never really was a crime
An echo of your loneliness that
Isn't necessary for you to survive
And who knows where it began?
Dig up all your patterns
See them in line
Look through all your
Repetition to find you
To find you
But who knows where it began?
