All Grown Cold

The sun shines
Colder than it used to feel
On my weary face
The hourglass
Challenges my heart as it beats
At a lower pace
Faces
Come back from the past
Just like a dream
Well maybe it was just a dream
A voice echoes
The perfect song I never heard
It whispers
Its mesmerizing chant
I just forgot the way you shone
I tried to read my palm lines
Crossing unpredictably
As I'm fading
I only saw a strange design
A senseless path in filigree
There's no meaning
Faces come back from the dead
Just like a dream
But I know it was not a dream
A voice echoes
The perfect song I never heard
It whispers
Its mesmerizing chant
I just forgot the way you shone
Just when I reached the colony
At last relieved to settle down
I found with bitter irony
That we've all grown cold
We've all grown cold
All the sweet talks I remember don't reassure
We've all grown cold
La bella ragazza, the chinese doll once held so close
We've all grown cold
The girl at San Marco feeding the birds has turned to dust
We've all grown cold

Shamisen
05:08
|
|||
Eastern nights are full of secrets
She coloured the room in red, there's just no way out
She plays her song on the shamisen
She readies herself for love, now there's no way out
Now you can drag me downer
Another night, another secret
She fingers her satin ribbon, there's no way out
She tightens up until we climax
She's pulling the strings of love, so there's no way out
Now you can drag me downer
A shroud has covered reason, the frenzy has begun
A black empire is rising, the moon attracts the sun
狂おしいほど愛しいあなた
もう戻れないわね
無我夢中に、足元も見ずに
こんなところまで来てしまった
初めからわかってたでしょう
肌を重ねるごとに毒が回る
もう時間を止めてしまいましょう
私の苦しいほどの愛を
命をかけて受け止めてちょうだい
Eastern nights are full of secrets
I'm lying down lifeless, there was no way out
No more song on the shamisen
A radiant widow came, there was no way out
Now you can drag me downer
A shroud has covered reason, the frenzy has begun
A black empire is rising, the moon attracts the sun

Bloody Mary
04:11

Tonight I walk down in Saigon
Distant scents and asian girls
I'm so far from The World now
Anyway you don't hear me
All the same you could answer
All those letters I sent you
All the same you could answer
I may never touch you again
Yesterday we went Nowhere
My best friend he was killed there
There's his name on The Wall now
Is there a place for mine ?
All the same you could answer
Not that I wanna bore you
Not that I wanna bore you
Just help me forget the silence
I try to cure this illness
Wandering in the streets but all things are lost
I wanna feel Bloody M
Purple Haze try to rearrange
The lack of love I should expect from Bloody M
Things I once knew with Bloody M
Things I remember, Bloody M
I'm just Wasted in silence
I keep on Shotgunning
It's time to colour the sky now
Every night I have this dream
And everyday I'm so frightened
Anyway you just fight me
Though I go down to Hell
When you rise up to heaven
With all your 4F Peacenicks
For all I know you just fight me
Now you're dancing barefoot
Now you raise in the silence
We're the same kind of dreamers
Though I stand in the Kill Zone
There's a tear in my brain now
Still a gun in my hand
There's a hole in my head now
My only friend, The End
I try to cure this illness
Wandering in the streets but all things are lost
I wanna feel Bloody M
Purple Haze try to rearrange
The lack of love I should expect from Bloody M
Things I once knew with Bloody M
Things I remember, Bloody M
I'm just Wasted in silence
I keep on Shotgunning

Dystopia
04:53
|
|||
I'm aware there's nowhere left for us to run
We're trapped like mice
Brave new world
The made-up kind with washed-up brain
Never thinks twice
Down the chemical plant
They're creating a new man
The political plans at the best of their scam
Down the chemical plant
They're creating a new man
We're all fucked up
No more words, no more beings
Only units
Souls are destroyed
So to speak
The sheep are walking straight in line
Thinking is void
Down the chemical plant
They're creating a new man
The political plans at the best of their scam
Down the chemical plant
They're creating a new man
We're all fucked up
I'm awake, I'd rather sleep one hundred years
Just let me out
We are wired
Supervised by the control room
There's no breakout
Down the chemical plant they're creating a new man
The political plans at the best of their scam
Down the chemical plant they're creating a new man
We're all fucked up

For all the wrong I'm doing
For all the lies I've told
For all those masks I'm wearing
I won't make amends
You know I won't make amends
I won't make amends
For I'm just trapped in my own cell
From the first day I was expelled
I do pretend but I'm compelled
Curled in a shell and lonely
For all the smiles I'm faking
I won't make amends
Since I once did and then what for ?
Nevermind if what you see is an eyesore
If it harms you, please walk away and just ignore
Don't you wait for me to kneel and to implore
If what you see is an eyesore
I won't make amends

Sentence
05:31
|
|||
One try or another
The more I fail the more I'm left in a daze
One try or another
One place or another
The maps are drawn and yet I'm lost in a maze
One place or another, I can't find it out
One truth or another
I step, I fall, I only hypothesize
One truth or another, I can't find out
One fear or another
A corridor extending before my eyes
One fear or another
It all drags me further down
I just live in a lie
With the sentence I will bear the pain
One face or another
Somebody smiled, a sign of hope or a plot ?
One face or another
I can't find out
One way or another
Another drink and I will kill in cold blood
One way or another
It all drags me further down
I just live in a lie
With the sentence I will bear the pain
And I'll make it a lie

A Matter Of Convenience
07:10
|
|||
The city night breaks with a rumour
Smoky eyes pierce through the dark
(Just a reflection)
A travesty of love at my leisure
The promises of a pornographic hour
Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence
Back light, a matter of convenience
Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence
Right when I cast a glance
No conversation is required
Tensions are appeased, remains a tumor
The city lights melt in the sound
(Just a perception)
Feelings drift unpaid in the sewer
The bitterness of a pornographic hour
Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence
Back light, the suffering becomes a transe
Tongue tied, a feeling of evanescence
Just when I cast a glance

No Play Boy
04:42
|
|||
There's no more fun
It kills me so
It feels like the end of the world
A harmless day ?
Oh well, we’ll never know
In the room of the second floor
We'll go high and sick
Come on now I promise you
A hell of a time
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
A harmless day we'll never know

Synchronize
04:47
|
|||
We are here, in the red room
Sensitive, all aware
We are here
So let's consume the inner fire that we never called up
Is it real or just a play
When you tantalize ?
Is there more than just one way
For us to synchronize ?
We are locked in the dark room
Negative, shades of grey
Give me focus
As we feed this inner fire that we never called up
We are here, in the back room
Primitive, intertwined
Animals
We magnify the inner fire that we never called up
Is it real or just a play
When you tantalize ?
Is there more than just one way
For us to synchronize ?

This Sorrow
05:33
|
|||
It had to be, the days got darker
The sun it shines no more
In the sand, we have to write the story shorter
Before we all atone
This sorrow
We've been infected
It had to be, there's no passover
No one left to implore
Though the sun gets closer
What we feel is cold and colder still
This sorrow
We've been infected
It had to be, our days are over
We crushed what we adored
« Innocent » !
Why even carve the word in boulder ?
We'd rather all atone
This sorrow
We've been infected
This sorrow
We're all infected
We're all infected
We're all infected
