Gone but not Forgotten

SPOTIFY 🌈

time slips away - demo - ( ALBUM DISPO )

Promise

You pull my strings
Try to make me dance
But I’ve got moves
That you can’t understand

You wave your hand
Expect me to nod
But I’m not playing
Don’t walk in this mode
(No, no, no…)

You’re my puppet
(You’re, you’re) You’re my puppet

I’m not your puppet
(You’re my puppet)
Neither your pet
(My puppet)
I ain’t got no strings
(You’re my puppet)
I’ve my own feelings
(No, no, no… No, no, no…)

You think I’m here
To follow your plan
But I’ve no fear
I’ll walk on my own

You’re my popup
(You’re, you’re) You’re my puppet

I’m not your puppet
(You’re my puppet)
Neither your pet
(My puppet)
I ain’t got no strings
(You’re my puppet)
I’ve my own feelings

(Repeat)

(No, no, no… No, no, no…)

LYRICS

Chucking away.
The time you thought you'd saved up.
Just a lot of descents. 
You're putting off your makeup.
Till they've had their say.
Now you are feeling lonely.
The world turning grey.
They all get a say. 

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 

The unwritten page.
Your future feeding slowly.
Solely displayed.
So you feel haunted ghostly.
A blanket of rage.
A warming cloth of kindness.
A look of dismay.
A feeling obeyed.

Can't save a thing.
Not a piece of cake.
It's never yours, it just goes to waste.

Can't waste a thing.
As it slips away.
No point in waiting for a chosen day.

Next thing you know.
You've got a ways to go.
But you cannot know.
If you will get a go.
Time can go slow,
But also run away from.
And quickly fade.
A sudden shade.

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 





You Can't Take It With You [2024 Remaster]

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Small talk...
Just speak to avoid silence

Oh, the weather's nice today (So nice)
It's warmer than last may (Definitely)
Did you hear about the neighbors? (Tell me)
They just moved to God knows where (Really?)

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Oh, Traffic’s bad, took me so long (Same for me)
Mornings always feel so wrong (I agree)
Coffee’s cold, but I don’t mind (I prefer tea)
Guess it wakes me up just fine (Hopefully)

(bla bla, bla bla) x4

Better say nothing (Nothing at all)
Than to make small talk (Small Talk)
Still, it's not always easy (It's not easy)
To just stay silent (Bla bla, bla bla)

Better speak your heart (Shy heart)
Than talk in vain (Small Talk)
But it's never that easy (It's not easy)
To be just honest (Bla bla, bla bla)

Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Sunny or not sunny day (bla bla, bla bla)
Small talk ...
Just speak to avoid silence (bla bla, bla bla)  
Weather...
Rainy or not rainy day (bla bla, bla bla)

Small Talk

Painted Sky

Upon the shrine, I lay my head
It's warm and stiff. Then comes the rain

It's happening every Monday
When the sailors issue a mayday
In these moments, all is ready 
To get things done in the old way

The storm trashes everything around
Only a tree remains steady

It's happening every Monday
When the sailors issue a mayday
In these moments, all is ready 
To get things done in the old way

In The Old Way

Just Shut Up And Dance
