New one (free) 04:35
So many times you’re looking at my face As you’re always waiting for my smallest mistake There are whispers about where are going my steps And I am denied even the right to fail It’s a constant fear eating at me but that I’ve got to hide, keep inside I’m so afraid to ignoring who I am where I go that I’m cold [Chorus:] Look at me, take my tears, my safety, my joy, my life I give you all of this but please ask me I don’t want more fights I’d just wanna be a new one I’ve got a place to leave, a need of air, a break of living As if Earth stop thinking about my cares, about my damn things Go on judging me, if for you it’s fair, rail against my being But I still wonder, would you do better if you were me? ‘Cause it’s a constant fear eating at us and that we’ve got to hide, to stay proud Even if we’re scared to ignoring who we became where we’ll go, we don’t wanna be alone [Chorus] You think it hurts yeah? to see your world wich collapse It’s even worse men you are just totally wrecked All your shit kills me, I just wanna say fuck you ‘Cause you know nothing about my definition of « loose »

Life blade 03:15
She wanders in her head Wants to run away from herself ‘Cause there’re now just memories And she’s swallowing their ashes Sometimes she feels alive But guilty of something She’s got to escape to survive But doesn’t find the exit? [Chorus:] So destroyed that she can’t look at her face in the mirror She needs to breath, she hurts herself not to feel useless anymore She kills her mind hoping that she’ll know her rebirth But she’s only going deeper in that cold desert Take that life blade and let it slide down on your skin Free the black liquid and feel what you never feel Breath, breath, breath in fire Burn, burn what you desire Let the fear get more power Shout out the hatred that transpire [Chorus]

Those flowers for this pretty home A kind of heaven a little bit too cold We see them smile, we think they’re shy But we don’t even suppose that door hide A dirty secret inside And when simple people fall asleep This woman fights her biggest fear Insults, submission, kicks She lives on her knees She takes his hand, not to feel safe But ’cause he let them crash down on her face He’s not ashamed of who he became He only wanna get rid of his rage And she’s still take that day after day She gets over again and it doesn’t make sense But she says « I’m in love with him » And sometimes « I feel guilt » But she’s still going adrift Do you think about this little girl hiding under her bed? Is it good for her to believe that’s a normal family way? Closed doors, sobs and screams : a new lullaby theme… Free violence that she does not understand So still let him play Go on to pray Convince yourself that is the price to pay Then to see better days You take his hand, not to feel safe But ’cause he let them crash down on your face He’s not ashamed of who he became He only wanna get rid of his rage And you’re still take that day after day You get over again and it doesn’t make sense But you say « I’m in love with him » And sometimes « I feel guilt » And you’re still going adrift

Wake up 04:07
What do you want to change If you close your eyes on what’s wrong? Don’t try to redeem yourself You can’t go back time is gone So today look at him bleeding in front of your eyes You never tried to help him. He was alone in his fight And he’s been beaten up before You act like you don’t know But we both know that you let him down [Chorus:] Wake up, stand up You can’t give up And make them winners You can’t shut up And let them have trust What do you want to change If you go on doing nothing ? Can you look at yourself again With all those pictures in your head ? So tonight tell him why he is face down on the ground ‘Cause you never wanted to help him He is alone in his fight, alone in his fight ! [Chorus] He feels so lonely soaking in his blood His head has just hit the floor in a thud He can hardly move, riddled with pain Do you see all those tears in his face? He doesn’t cry because of his ache He’s just thinking that they will do it again

Fake a smile (free) 03:23
A little conversation I’d rather it was just for fun But this is it You reduced all these years to nothing I heard your voice I didn’t wanna understand, I seemed to be lost Where I’ve gotta go now? Must I wander as a ghost? Some people say that it could be worse than that But losing you is same as you kill my heart [Chorus:] You, yes I trusted you Now there’s nothing anymore So fake a smile, yeah fake a smile to You, if you think you feel so good Close our book Then fake a smile, lie to your mind I took your words as razorblades in my chest And I think you overlook this Just to forget our story But it doesn’t work I should have a choice A way to fix it A « sorry » more sincere I don’t even see your tears I can’t figure out, I can’t even shout Is it so easy to chuck it all in to destruct everything with some thoughts? I’m on the ground Cause you put me so down Your voice hurts me, I don’t wanna hear more sound from [Chorus] I took the words you said as razorblades in my chest Did you overlook this just to forget our story I don’t want things to go that way ‘Cause there’s no price to pay Look me in the eye and tell me You can live your life without me

I feel like I’m suffocating I’m dying to hate you but I can’t do it How can I figure out all this? Time didn’t wait for me, It’s too late to fix things There’re no more one to make fall It seems that everything’s back to normal [Chorus:] Is that what I deserve? Not to realize before that I love you more than my whole life Look how much it hurts I put you out of sight but you’re still anchored to my mind I don’t even dare to stop moving Not to think about you and her living A perfect kind of love, All the things that I’ve lost Imagining your intimacy Giving her those looks that in the past you gave me I swear I’m trying the best I can Not to feel too much pain But I won’t let close our story I don’t want you to go far from me [Chorus] Not enough actions to make things change But to much words said in vain All those thought are killing my brain I’d like you to teach me how to heal There’re no more things wrong here There’s just someone who’s missing [Chorus]

Here we go again (free) 02:48
Looking back I see That I can’t really win I’m burning my own wings Just for my dream Because I’m so deep i it [Chorus :] Here we go again For you and from my den We are all in this Together And we will break it It’s sure I have lost so much time And why ? Now I know I should survive You’ve gotta ! But I’m so afraid to fail again And to put out my last flame [Chorus] Look at my face I’ll be strong enough to break I am here by myself Not because of you men I got up and I healed my grief There’re people who believe in me That’s why I will defeat Here we go again For you and from their veins [Chorus]
8.
You look through the window And see the rain which falls Waiting for the storm To go away and leave your soul Distress running under your skin You do not even dare to blink [Chorus:] For you and me yeah For everybody Don’t loose the faith, hold on, be invincible Believe on all your life It can take place one morning Trust the beating of your heart There’s always someone to destroy Your dream, a wrong thing that you can’t avoid But you never must give in. Now Get up, come with me and make some noise Sometimes you want to leave, just forget everything Free yourself of that grief, go away for your relief Stop shirking your problems, you should fight against them And go on with this flame, you’ve got it in your veins I know you will succeed [Chorus] [Solo] It’s you and me yeah It’s everybody Together we are just invincible Open your eyes on life It takes place this morning We’ll be the ones to climb
