Who you are
03:48

I wonder who you are
Cause you've taken me too far
Is it by a bunch of education
Or a « testosteronisation » ?
Why are you here, tell me why ?
How can you lead, why don't you step aside ?
I never wondered who you are ?
You know it's not my fault
I've never wanted to pretend
It's a pretty odd thing to say
No doubts ! They won't take you all the way
Why are you here, just tell me why ?
How can you lead, why don't you step aside ?
I never wondered who you are ?
Somehow it's nobody's fault
I'm a psychic frenzy jerkin' you around
And although we're just stuck in our skin
Our combination results in a human being
Why am I here ? I'll tell you why
You can lead only if you try
Have you ever even wondered who you truly are ?
Who do you think you are ?
Who do you think you are ?
The fruit of your conscious plan
Or of an inside chemical war
Do you know who you are ?
Do you think you are more than the shadow
you try to be, you try to be, you try to behold
Now be here and tell me why
you can lead, why can't I ?
Cause you never wondered who you truly are !
Now you're here, so tell me why ?
How can you lead, why don't you step aside ?
I'm not done with wondering who you truly are ?

Mr Jekyll # Mr Wood

I'm mister, I'm mister Jekyll...
I'm mister Jekyll...
All along the glorious night I've been
Staring at him, the way
He belongs to the
Dream I catch when I'm all alone, I wonder
Who's this guy who's disguised, there are
So many answers about the striking likeness but I
Can't tell them appart, I feel so
Strangely mesmerised by this twin bathing in the light
I'm mister, I'm mister...Wood
...Mister Wood !
Hang on, hold on
Embrace me with open arms
I'm the part of you that's alive
I'm the one who thinks aloud
I've been singing out words of yours
As mine, so ghostly
As I stand in my shoes, see that I'm
Not a lie, just the one you thought up in your mind
This is not a lie
Can't just walk away
And don't wanna hyde, aaaaah
I'm mister, I'm mister Jekyll Wood

Dance again

Will you help me out, when I'm tired, waiting through the night
Will you help me out, when the time is running out
Will they let you out, join me like a stowaway, a friend of mine
Will you be the one, whose love is blind ? Will you give me your heart ?
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
I will as you do
Will I help you out, fix you in the blink of an eye
Will I help you out, save your skin, you let out a sigh
Amid people all around, full of creed but scared of heights
Will I be the one, and get you back !
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
I will as you do
I need it, what you are
I'll do it when the time is out
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
Oooooooh, come on and dance
Oooooooh, let me dance again
I will as you do

Sorry
03:33

Sorry if you don't, don't understand me
Sorry if you don't really try
To lay down your weapons to understand me
Sorry if you can't tear down your walls
Oh, there's a fire in the tower made of stones dug up from our contradictions
If there's no window, above or below
How can we put it out ?
Cause the moon slips away from daylight
And the reed bends with the wind
Even eagles soar back from the clouds
When your unwavering pride stands to attention
Sorry if you don't, don't understand me
Sorry if you don't really try
To lay down your weapons to understand me
Sorry if you can't tear down your walls
Oh, like a flower, let's wait a tower rising up again from the ruins of our desertion
You want to build higher, and even better ?
I want to see you pull it off
Cause the moon slips away from daylight
And the reed bends with the wind
Even eagles soar back from the clouds
When your unwavering pride stands to attention
Sorry if you don't, don't understand me
Sorry if you don't really try
To lay down your weapons to understand me
Sorry if you can't tear down your walls
Sorry if you don't, don't understand me
Sorry if you don't really try
To show some wisdom to understand me
Sorry if you can't tear down your walls
Will you reassess yourself ? will you reassess yourself ? no !
The moon slips away from daylight
And eagles soar back from the clouds
Oh my, oh my, you'll never try to understand
Oh my, oh my, I'll never try to speak again

I want to live
03:24
|
|||
|
My heart had never blown up
'Til that night you burst into my lit up room
Wounded by a belief,
Here comes sorrow seeing you trampling the velvet down
You won't make me sway
Never hide away
Too bad if I check out !
I'm not caging myself in
Won't dwell on it and complain
Let's face the world head on !
I want to live
I don't want to survive
I want to live
I won't let it happen
I can't do anything for you
Since their deadly morals killed your reason
We won't be locked up in, in a jail of dread
Looking through the bars the sky being burned to ashes
You won't make me sway
Never hide away
Too bad if I check out !
I'm not caging myself in
Won't dwell on it and complain
Let's face the world head on !
I want to live
I don't want to survive
I want to live
I won't let it happen
I want to live
I don't want to survive
I want to live
I won't let it happen

Anymore
06:30
|

I can feel him lurking
I must be strong enough
Anywhere, feel him oppressing
I dare not ask him why
Cause I know he won’t be truth-telling
Says he only wants me to try
But I know he wants me to succeed
I‘m not allowed to cry
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Sometimes it feels like free-falling
He's not with me all the time
When I finally feel flying
Fly fast never looking back
What I do, now, no need to hide it,
He won't go along with that anyway
And I don't know where this road is leading
But I’m not afraid to cry
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
I'm losing, I'm losing...
I’m weak, I'm losing...
I'm weak, I love it...

Saw the news this morning
Someone used violence, now a lot of ink is flowing
Someone got robbed, someone got dead
The first did his job, the other should have been at his own instead
So they say, so I read
Their words echo in my head
So far beyond
What meets the eye
The man came on
But won't go back
To his land alone
With his hands untied
Has the picture been drawn
All in black and white
Like a comic's superhero
Flying above in the sky
Just like a comic book's superhero
At ease in making one live or die
Hunger and pain
Or self-preservation
Can lead a man
To gruesome action
So can anger
So can hatred
Can the gun be the gavel
In a f-f-f-fair trial ?
Like a comic's superhero
Flying above in the sky
Just like a comic book's superhero
At ease in making one live or die
Good or bad
White or Black, it's not enough
there are colours and shading as we can see them all
But if my red is your blue,
won't the rainbow turn into gloom
Some may claim that one is a Fool
More will swear the other is Cruel
And they're right
They're all right
We're not gods, not all judges
We're not superheros with the power of the world
In the palm of our hands, we're just humans instead
Humans instead, humans instead

And yet
04:31

How many little odd things make you believe in me now
I've known you so early that I can't remember
How you ended up in my hands, I never
See again the day we met
An insignificant state of mind,
Like a stone you left behind, and yet...
Sometimes I considered you unhelpful
Just a someone amongst all others, just a tool
I'd to learn to play for hours, for what ?
I even wanted you to be
Just a spot in memory, and yet...
And yet, you hold me tight
And yet, you hold me tight
And yet, you hold me tight
Just get me allrigt
Mark and Jimmy changed my mind, then later
I chose to reach that place and stay, forever
In the small of your back, so what ?
From all these years I got to know you
There'll be some bitterness to forget
And all this time
I made you mine
I finally figured out
Why you were here
Now I can steer
Towards the thrill of my life
I was suh a fool
You were just a tool
I was such a fool
You were just a tool
And yet, you hold me tight
And yet, you hold me tight
And yet, you hold me tight
Just get me allrigt

Can we talk
02:43
|
|||
|
Can we talk, can we talk, can we talk now ?
Just don't walk, just don't walk, just don't walk out
We need to talk, need to talk, need to talk now
Round the clock, round the clock, round the clock until you know
Fear has come and gone away,
It's been hard for me to stay
Like a goldfish in my bowl and never say a word
Are you ready ?
Focused on me ?
Today's the day !
I'm on my way ! Go !
Fear has come and gone away,
It's been hard for me to stay
Like a goldfish in my bowl and never say a word
I can't stand the way it is
There's no way I'm gonna freeze up
Cause I need to talk to you so that I can go ahead
Can we talk, can we talk, can we talk now
Don't you walk, don't you walk, don't you walk out !
Fear has come and gone away,
It's been hard for me to stay
Like a goldfish in my bowl and never say a word
Silent times have gone away,
I won't ever have to stay
Like a goldfish in a bowl and never say a word
In a bowl and never say a word
In a bowl and never say a word

I will love you anytime
I will love you anywhere
Half-naked for just a while
You drive me completely mad
I want love to find
The lust way to get it right
I want you to know
You look sexy in my eyes
Let me love you here tonight
Let me be the one who dies
Let me love you here tonight
Let me love you 'til I die
Love you, right here, right now, tonight
Love you, right here, right now, tonight
Come, come, come lady
Love, love, love me lady
Come, come, come lady
I want more my lady
I will leave you anyhow
Or you will leave me anyway
But for now, for just a while
You drive me completely mad
I want love to find
The lust way to get it right
I want you to know
You look sexy in my eyes
Let me love you here tonight
Let me be the one who dies
Let me love you here tonight
Let me love you 'til I die
Love you, right here, right now, tonight
Love you, right here, right now, tonight

White room
05:14
|
|||
|
The room is covered in white paint
From the floor to the ceilling
I know by heart every recess
I don't want to escape
There's no reason to get out of here
They take care of me
Underneath their mask and overall
Their words are reassuring me
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles are gone away
A sunlight beam coming through the shutter
Dazzles my fragile eyes
When the wild glimmer frightens me
They know how to get me relaxed
My placebo and a glass of wine
And it's all over
This hospital is the keeper
The survival of my soul
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles are gone away
In my white room and its fresh smell
In my white room, waiting till the end
In my white room, time is going well
One day I'll see the garden
And the sweet-smelling flowers
I'll discover the wonderful things
I can't reach for now
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles fade away
My troubles are gone away

Waking Dream
05:44
|
|||
|
See what's in my waking dream
And wish it never to come true
See how I'm facing the worst
of all those absurd circumstances
Decisions to be made
Off the top of my head
I don't know if I'd be the hero I dream of
Or just a paralyzed child, if I had to deal with it
I don't know if I'd be the hero I dream of
Or just a paralyzed child, if I had to deal with it
I just hope I won't have to
I just hope I won't have to
This long icy dark road
Could make a smile a simple souvenir
Swallowed by a dark crowd
A memory drowning in a river made of tears
My head's going to tear apart
Til it's out of my heart
I don't know if I'd be the hero I dream of
Or just a paralyzed child, if I had to deal with it
I don't know if I'd be the hero I dream of
Or just a paralyzed child, if I had to deal with it
I just hope I won't have to
I just hope I won't have to
I just hope I won't have to
Everyday we've made it through
I just hope I won't have to
See my waking dream come true
Even if there's nothing I can't do
Ignorance's not an issue
See what's in my waking dream...
