On a static evening
Couldn't move my hands
Couldn't wait again

The mechanism's been failing
Couldn't look the other way
Couldn't think of something else

It's a glasshouse I'm living in
And the air has filtered in
I'm breathing all of time and space
And feeling all my wounds and theirs

It's probably some word you said
Or a strange movement someone made
The colors of the streets at night
That displaced something in my head

Is there anything good to say
Anything that could make a mends
Gathered the strength and closed my eyes                          
Trying to fly over myself

Take me to the middle of the ocean
Where the waves come crushing over me
And the whispers of the tranquil sea
Will tell me «Now look up into the sun»

And the hopeful smile of a sunny day
Lays its warm light upon us
I never knew how to break a curse
But I swore to find another way

While the wind shatters the night again
And you lay restless under the trees
Let the nightmares come among the dreams
They are not the ones that cause you pain

My voice has grown cold and muddy
I can't allow you to worry
Send the signal on my command
Ignite the air and then we'll see

And still we march with no motive
Something to hold, someone to grieve
We live off dust from better days
And light that glows under your skin

From things you found you built a dream
Somewhere with a field and a stream
To fix our heads and help us walk
Cure our existence from within

And still we march with no motive
Something to hold, someone to grieve
We live off dust from better days
And light that glows under your skin

Many seasons are blinding grey
Breathe in and find a place to stay
Next to the Earth over the sky
A place we are just passing by

Big eyes
For such wonderful lies
Here lie all hopes and visions
Sit still
And don't break the transmission
My love, beautiful work of fiction

So bright
Images so unreal
Cut open your cruelest dreams
Holy music
Bleeding through my heart and ears
My adoration, bringer of tears

Hold your breath
Never ever look away
It's a promise of captivation
Foreign sorrow and excitation
Nothing needs any explanation

Tragedies of the mind
I got yours and you got mine
Now that we're standing side by side
Watching the snow bury the ground
Cold water

I'm thinking maybe we should talk
About the winter when it's dark
And the rain on, and on, and on
The soaked earth, washed and gone
Cold water

Cold water, filling up my lungs
Now winter's gone
Summer heat
Has never been enough to help me breathe
It's in the air, everywhere, humidity

Forever lost in nostalgia
Only good memories we've got
A piece of safety underneath
The mold and dirt we live with
Cold water

Cold water, filling up my lungs
Now winter's gone
Summer heat
Has never been enough to help me breathe
It's in the air, everywhere, humidity

And who will care for our sins
When we turn into paper-skins
Damp and blue from the season change
Left alone to die in our beds

Sisters of boredom
That never got away
Were born and died on the same day

Sisters in the winter
Now buried in the sky
Did you find peace in your exile

Love and fantaisies
Like the rest of the family
And soothing cold until we sleep

Extaticism
Water infiltrates the skin
Leaves a taste for adrenaline

Sisters of disgrace
Remain the pride of the nation
Named after some foreign ocean

Sisters of creation
Whisper madness and lullabies
On the edge of the world at night

One day someone began to say
We would all be better off dead
So young and hopeless like a god
A boy swore to defy the odds

Following the pulse of his dread
He raised a genius from the dead
To go on a glorious rant
Silently, inside of his head

As it meant nothing to compare
His feelings to those they all wear
«Please forgive me for the sad thoughts»
He said before he hurt their hearts

You're just a mad recurring dream
And you feed on my self-esteem
You made me see through the world's skin
So you could burn me from within

This one man noticed, staring shy
The void in the depth of an eye
A million days of devotion
And from his rage flowers blossomed
