[Sax:]
Red before the green
Green before the blue
For all that we made into our self image
We must recall all that we lost
[Ann:]
All our desires obvious
All of our feelings : pious
[Sax:]
I wish that that you’d show me what you kept for yourself
What I cannot know before I’m hands and knees on the ground
[Hiroko:]
Om, Shikata Ga Nai
[Ann :]
Ever since we got here we have kept digging
Digging and building and remaking all we know
Just cause we know it
All that we’ve discovered
All these chasms and these abysses and even the moutains high
We will flatten them
One day or the other
[Hiroko & the Green:]
Om, Shikata Ga Nai
[Ann & the Red :]
When you’ve been running on these plains of red
For as long as I
For as long as I
When your own bones have all turned red
Then only you’ll know
You’ll know that rocks were here before
Rocks were here first
[Maya:]
There are so many oceans now
The red has all but turned
Into a familiar ball of blue
There are so many coming now
So few of the old left
[Michel:]
But so many still inside of you
[Nadia:]
There’s no doubt it’s a wonder
To bathe in all this water
To ride the endless waves of gravity
[Ann:]
But I get this feeling sometimes
I just get this feeling sometimes
I get this old feelings sometimes
I miss the choke of dust inside my lungs
[The Red & The Green:]
Rocks were here before
Shikata ga nai

Flowers for Everyone
04:08

I feel myself becoming dumb
Every day, every day a little stupider
I feel myself becoming dumber everytime I look at my phone,
Get on the phone,
Get all social ;
Kill out the soul
So I think i’ll bring
Flowers for Everyone
It’s not « until the light takes us »
It’s « what did the light leave us ? »
I see blank staring eyes over tiny lamps all over
Everytime my words fail me
Everytime my thoughts lose me
I pick a flower for myself
Better yet : a whole bouquet
We’re all mice in a cage and we’re getting dafter
Are there any flowers left ?
I’ll bring
Flowers for Everyone

Stagger

Somebody please tell me what I said
Cause I can’t recall any word I’ve ever uttered
Someone, please, kickstart my memory
All the walls they keep growing
Keep on pushing on every side of my faith
Crushing my beliefs
All the while I thought myself afraid
Of the thing I desired the most
But it was you who made me that way
So every now and then
Every now and again, I remember :
No wonder that you made stagger
You made me stagger
So every now and then
Every now and again I remember
Who could have guessed that it was just a matter of faith ?
And every now and then
Every now and again I remember well
I wonder why I let you make me stagger
No wonder that you made me stagger
I remember

Winter Promises
03:35

« Come live with me » he said
« Leave all your fears behind »
The valley was all dark and gloom that night
So they joined their hands, and off they went
« Please, stay with me » he said
« Don’t ever let me go !
« The world outside is, oh, so dark and cruel... »
Still they joined their hands and never, ever, left
All promises in winter turn to alabaster
Words made of cold white stone are secrets to atone
All these promises...

If you stop to ponder the situation for just a minute
You’ll realize it’s not as dire as that
If you stop to consider the time left
You’ll take a breath and sigh in relief
Believe me : you can…
Carry on, carry on, brother
Cause it’s never too late
Don’t you close thine eyes
Don’t you shut that door
Is it so heavy the weight that you can’t get up anymore ?
Carry on, carry on, brother
Cause it’s never too late

Feathers & Wax
04:32

|
Into the heart of a star I flew and fled the ocean
I left the flooded lands behind
For we always said we’d keep ourselves warm and dry
For I never learned to swim well
We’ve always know the ones who are saved
Are thoses who learn to fly
If only you could have grown a pair of wings
I would’nt have had to leave you all behind
And soon, I’ll burn
I also know I haven’t taken anything of price with me
Everything I cared for I left to drown
I’ve given to the waves
You’ve always told me that the ones who are saved
Are given wings to fly
If only I could have shared the feathers and the wax
I wouldn’t have had to leave you behind, love
And soon, I’ll burn

Don't Listen
07:22

Don’t cut the head of the hydra
Or ten thousand heads will now roar in its place
Press down your hands on your ears
Bite you lip
Spare your tears
Clench your fist ‘til you can’t feel your fingers
Silence your tongue
Deaden your songs
They can’t be of no help anymore when you’re all alone
For the first time
The truth is of no use to you
For the first time
Don’t listen to them
Words are not ; words are not the same
Don’t listen to them
Or everything else changes meaning
Don’t listen to them
Words are not ; words are not the same
Don’t listen to them
He who change his word change his face
Learn to be silent
Be quiet
Forget what you know
And be quiet
Hide up your soul and your ears
Bury’em in you ears
I’d rather be dead than be unsincere
But there’s so much blood from your tongue in your mouth
That you just can’t swallow your spit anymore
For the first time
The truth is of no use to you
For the first time
