Coma

If I was
In a coma
If I was
In a coma
Pain would be gone
Talk to me, talk to me
Cause I can still hear
I can still hear

Ghost Villages

Working hands
In the dirt
I can almost feel them hurt
Sweating lives
Proud and tall
Until they heard the call
Stones and dust
Now left to rust
But cities they can talk
This one says
I’m dangerous
Yet somehow I feel safe
(Your home will never die)
Your home is not dying
(Your home will never die)
You left but the sun just wouldn’t say goodbye
(Your home will never die)
Bells don’t ring no more
(Your home will never die)
But the steeple remains standing
If you’re out there watching
Mother nature will eat it
it’s alright
Did it feel lonely ?
What were you looking for in the city ?
Did you set yourself free ?
Did you find it all in the city ?

Winter Lover
03:22

You call and you call and you call
You crawl and you crawl and you crawl
You miss what you don’t know
What helps you grow
Seasons they come and go
Treasons they come and go
I want to give you more
my every pore
You’re a winter lover
But you’re not a savior
And it’s cold and it’s dark
And you’re just chasin’ a spark
People they come and go
People they fall and flow
So breathe, just watch and learn
Just watch me burn
We’re just winter lovers
But we’re not some savior
And it’s cold and it’s dark
And we’re just chasin’ a spark

Copy / Paste
04:33

Ignite, enjoy, create, and promise
Get tired, reject, don’t think, put it to an end
Feel bad for a second, regret, then get used to it
Substitute and start again
Are you that unstable ?
Do you always need food on your table ?
Are we just bodies to you, until you laugh ?
Are we just a paragraph ?
You can throw a toy away, that’s okay,
no need to break it on your way
Can’t save what’s been deleted
Are you that unstable ?
Do you always need food on your table ?
The same street, the same cities
The same shows, the same movies
The same jokes, the same songs
You just copy and paste
The same words, the same bodies
The same walks, the same countries
The same rights, the same wrongs
You just copy and paste
I didn’t want long hair, see ?
You took a man who would agree
You were obsessed with a clean apartment
Yet our ending was so dirty
No, this is not going backwards
This is just facing things
This is what adults do
They help their love get through

Born On a Sunday
04:06

|
Will you ever take a look at my faith
Not the one that will divide us
Don’t you ever throw the book at my face
Not the one that makes us judges
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
I was destined to be led astray
I was born on a Sunday
Wish that I would find the peace to pray
Wish I’d find a doorway
Let it grow
Take it slow
I’m supposed to believe in what could be
But I can’t believe what I see
If you want some answers, raise your hand
And help your neighbour stand
On we go
This has never been my kind of show
Though I’d love to see it glow
Respect that I don’t reflect on what’s up, no
Let me figure out what’s down below
Down below

Always Been a Fan
03:43
|

Remember, you were never her friend
From the first hour, you’ve always been a fan
You wrote this song together, formed a band
You liked the chorus, just not the end
Every upcoming word, she’s heard before
No matter what any poet has in store
She’s so small, but higher is the wall
Built around herself, and made to fall
Don’t you dare ask for more
Just not less, if she can
This is something worth fighting for
Cause you’ve always been a fan
If she’d just allow herself to feel
Cause you have seen her smile, it was real
When she let you touch her soul and her skin
And showed you marvels you had never seen
How didn’t you, think she’d have the nerve
Leaving you when her breakfast is still served
It’s not like the news was just in
She’s the highest mountain, that’s ever been
Don’t you dare ask for more
Just not less, if she can
This is something worth fighting for
Cause you’ve always been a fan
It might seem like a lot of pressure
But who ever said it has to be forever
If you say you’re over it, spit that lie again
She should know you’ll always be a fan

Elevator
04:35

You put me in an elevator
The best that I have ever seen
The music here… is damn good
I don’t want out, even if I should
But I never choose the floor I’m
Stopping at some random place and time
This building… Is absurd
Sending us from bright to stirred
Don’t you miss it
(Put your) hand between the doors
You know they’ll open
(Even) faster than before
Next time we’re in it together
I’ll set off the alarm so we get stuck
So you’d face… This feeling
In your veins… Isn’t it flowing ?
One floor up, then two more down
We might end up underground
We could crash… But we’re living
We could clash… There’s no ceiling
Don’t you miss it
Put your hand between the doors
You know they’ll open
Even faster than before
Ring the bell, I’m dry.
The floor is where I lie.
I know I could’ve used the stairs but
But would it lead us anywhere
And I’m tired… I keep folding
It’s too high… And I’m aching
If I have to do it all again, I
I’ll be the same stupid man, but
I’ll fly… Or die trying
And your thighs… They will be shaking
We’ll go high… Without thinking
About how fast… This box is going
And I’ll smile… Not seeing
I’ve been here alone from the beginning

No Shield
04:34

I’m falling in love against my will
I wish my heart would just stay still
Falling in the trap once more, thinking I can reach the shore
Intact
Throwing all the clothes I wore, thought that I had closed this door
It cracked
Well maybe I like it, the danger of it
I quit aiming for the moon, since someone sang « it might be over soon »
She says… « why don’t you shield yourself » ?
But my way… Is to reveal myself
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But when I’m with her I don’t care
A million kind words won’t touch me
Yet one insult and my whole self wants to flee
She got the warning, I’m a mess, I guess she was not impressed… But still
I almost wish she’d shut me up, so I can write the follow-up
Well she did
And I keep denying… The one who longs for me
This one might not be as easy… But I was told by my body
She says… « why don’t you shield yourself » ?
But my way… Is to reveal myself
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But when I’m with her I don’t care
There’s no resistance
Yet there’s no insistence
I know it ain’t worth a dime
But this could be the most useless lovesong of all time
She says… « why don’t you shield yourself » ?
But my way… Is to reveal myself
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But when I’m with her I don’t care
Cause my heart would not stay still
I fell in love against my will

Shattered
02:50
|

|
It’s literal
Literal when I say
I’m shattered when I wake
It’s vicious, it’s hidden away
This sickness takes no break
Cut every part that’s broken
Fix me up, be outspoken
Before my time runs out
And I don’t want to quit this fast
And I wish I’d leave some trace in the past
Can I ?
Yes I’m young but my body feels old
My mind is a wind vane
My skin starts seeing red
Like a doomed bull in Spain
Cut every part that’s broken
Fix me up, be outspoken
Before my life runs out
And I don’t want to quit this fast
And I wish I’d leave some trace in the past
Can I ?
And I I’m on a ship without a mast
And I wanna feel no pain at last
Or do I ?

Hunting Season
04:26
|

|
Asking questions about finding answers
My thoughts they float like crippled dancers
Who am I to cure them all ?
Who am I to pretend I’m not small ?
Cause some days I feel I wanna last
And some days I wish it were the last
Do I need a reason to live ?
It’s just hunting season my deer
Let me love and let me cry
Just don’t ask me why
Look at how we spend our lives sister
Til the very end we try to reach for another
Find ourselves facing a wall
Counting down to the last call
And some days I feel I wanna last
And some days I wish it were the last
What do I know, but maybe
Feeling alive and free
Is just knowing that we
Have the choice not to be
