Le sablier cassé

Je t’ai laissée partir il y a 1000 ans
Avais-je tort ou raison ? Maintenant,
Je sens que le temps me fait des reproches
Sans aucune pitié.

Ma déraison avait-elle raison ?
Pourras-tu un jour me le pardonner ?
Car mon cœur me traite de tous les noms
Qu’il sort, tout chauds, de sa broche…

Mais, 1000 ans, c’est seulement hier
Et plus j’y pense, moins j’en suis fier.
Je voudrais retrouver le sablier
Pour l’arrêter, le casser !

Si j’arrivais à retourner le temps
Je n’y toucherais plus pendant 1000 ans
Mon cœur ne battra que pour te revoir
Il ne vivra que d’espoir

Si je ne te revois pas
Le monde ne sera
Qu’un désert inhabité
Qu’un sablier cassé…

The broken hourglass

I let you go a thousand years ago
Was I right or wrong? Now,
I feel that time is reproaching me
Without any mercy.

Was my folly right?
Can you ever forgive me?
For my heart calls me all kinds of names
That it takes out, all hot, from its spit...

But, 1000 years, it is only yesterday
And the more I think about it, the less proud I am.
I would like to find the hourglass
To stop it, to break it!

If I could turn back time
I wouldn't touch it again for a thousand years
My heart will only beat to see you again
It will only live on hope

If I don't see you again
The world will be
An uninhabited desert
Only a broken hourglass...

I can be there if you want me
I can give you space if you need time
Floating away on the breeze
Replaying this old pantomime

What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

I can be strong if you'd let me
Not just taking up space and wasting time
Good intentions lost at sea
Two sinners chasing the sublime

What time did love arrive?
When did affection slip out of the room?
But we're just two people
And what the hell can we do?

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

The stars explode lifetimes away
Our lives played out like a shadow play
Where did it go time washed away
Our lives played out one more matinee

Pantomime

I've walked the world from front to back and seen a million things
I've scraped my knuckles on the map and held on through the waves
I've taped the eyes of monkeys and rode them till they broke
I've burned the leaves of agony and danced naked in their smoke

I feel ok
It's just the feeling that the end is something I can't escape
I feel insane
Then again a normal mind just sounds a bit too tame.

I've lifted chins and broke girls in, been lovestruck and confused
I've played the role of a superstar and was quickly left diffused
I've rolled up on some players and left them picking sides
I've twisted grins with sappy sins that took them for a ride.

I play the game
Took some lumps and rolled the dice, threw down, and walked away
I sometimes stray
It's in my nature to taste the air and conform to its change

Black-eyes simpletons never know what nightmares lay ahead
Temptation gets the best of them and leaves blisters on the bed
Eventually it'll get to me and take me to the edge
I'll run the distance to the wedge and run thin till I'm dead

I live to fade
I waste away and feed the work that's living in my brain
I taste the pain
In the strangers that I pass each day while I walk against the grain

Haunt You

Sins and Broken Doves

I Got You On My Mind

(This is dedicated to my Step-Dad and to his battle with dementia.  It’s a song about time, how things are constantly changing, and yet, when you look in the mirror, there you are, and yet the decay, the age, mistakes and wisdom, one can hope, at the end of the day, no matter what has been had, what has been lost, you will have at least one thing, even if just a hand full, of beautiful memories…of people, pain, loss, love, hope, and everything in between.  Yet, for some, the curse is to look in the mirror and have nothing, to have lost it all, that sense of fear, grief, and frustration..  my step dad lost everyone in the end.  There were only two people he recognized.  My Mom and I - a blessing I will always be grateful to have had).  He was a beautiful man and this song, in all the irony of the lyrics, is for him.  

Verse
Was a time, a time to play, time to pray
All that time, what a waste, what a pity, oh fool, shake my walls, blow me down.

Just a face, unaware, just another day.
Just a phase, all we had, it’s a crime
oh pity, oh fool, mind your head when you fall 

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Verse
In the dark, in the back, what a way to live, you a dance I could never forget, oh pity oh fool, tell me who I see now so

Like a dream, but nightmares are dreams too, in my head, but my mind I stilI find you, oh pity, oh fool, take my hand lead me out 

Chorus
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Not a game, never same, we all fade away, but these tricks, it’s so hard to find you, oh pity oh fool, seems all is lost now

In the end, through the tears and the madness, find a smile as you echo among us, oh pity of fool, are you here with me now.  

Chorus 
But oh, one thing keeps coming back
I got you on my mind

Over

Pupil of Doom

Sleeping in my room 
I see no one
The lights are red
Peer into my doom
I'll be the one 
Whose eyes are read
At the end...

In this scene, someone's 
There...
Just standing by my bed
I'll feel no warmth
Just color black
In the night, dream of a Mare
An enemy...

Friend or foe?
Might be too dark to understand
Try to hide under the sheets
But It holds on to my hands
I see this...

Slim man 
Slides closer to my face and whispers:
"Tonight you die, it's just the price you pay for being this..."


Oh...
I get the shivers 
Like a December breeze
In June, I...
Kisses my lips
Its pure black's consuming my mind
At night, I...


Try to move 
But I'm locked in place like a corpse, I...
Don't need no proof
I've seen part of a being with no remorse
And a... fleeting croon 
As he walked in closer, closer
Feel the wound bleeding slower
As he touches my face

The darkness where his mouth should be...
Slowly opens to me...
My eyes just get to see it...
A blinding gloom from beyond the gates


Oh...
I get the shivers 
Like a December breeze
In June, I...
Kisses my lips
Its pure black's consuming my mind, I...
Try to cry for help
Its limbs stretch surrounding my sight
Like a cloud that eats up all memories
Of the sweet kind, as I die


[Breakdown] 


Seems I've spent so much time away
Same day after day
Left what I used to be

Mistaken, a soul for someone else, alone
A cold cracked mold
To scorn myself


Third personal view
I see what might amuse
An antisocial excuse
The lies flow so profuse

Multi-level ideology scheme
The dream's mine
And I can't hide
From myself, what I've seen
