Butterflies... Or something like that.

Falling

Space

show me how
show me when
you haunt me

show yourself
show us where
you haunt me

i can take
one small break
to please you

i can talk
for the two
of us

one small reason

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to leave you now

take it to
someone royal
or free

take me to
someone loyal
i dont believe

one small reason to leave you now
one small reason to believe you now
one small reason to come back to

and i cant imagine anything different
not you
and i cant imagine anything different from you
i cant imagine anyone different from you
i cant imagine anyone different but you

one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now
one more reason to leave you now

What's One More Reason To Leave?

"Lonely Age"

Drifting through life, full of vacant replies
Wandering lost, like a motherless child
Not a word to say, in this lonely age
Wanna look away, go back to sleep
Accept defeat, flee in retreat, disguised

Once I could say, I was willing to try
Seeking the source, for a meaningful life
Now I pretend, just to claim I belong
Safely in step, with the vacuous throngs

Heaven knows I’d never make it
So pathetic that I ever tried to fake it
Graduate of voluntary mind-enslavement
Flew the coop and joined the troops,
A simple sleuth
Reporting from the lonely age now

Not a word to say, in this lonely age
Try to look away and, go back to sleep
Admit defeat, flee in retreat, disguised

Caught in a lie, that I’d gladly concede
Choosing a side, isn’t easy for me

Cause heaven knows I’d never make it
So pathetic that I ever tried to fake it
Graduate of voluntary mind-enslavement
Threw the coup, negotiated truth’s abatement

(Patrick Bateman)

And heaven knows we’d never make it
So pathetic that we ever tried to fake it
Graduates of voluntary mind-enslavement
Flew the coop, and joined the troops
Still put to use, consulting for the lonely age now

Melle - 2016 Souvenir

Lyrics:
 
My heart in the sun, I lay it out to dry
It’s 8:23, so baby take your time
Shoes on the floor, honey the water’s fine
No one’s gonna find us today, you’re all mine
 
I’m fucking around on the stylophone
You take a picture of me, you’re wearing my cologne
Get back in the car, got 20-something miles to go
One eye one you, one on the road
 
I love you more now summer’s here 
When that April rain it disappears
May 27th’s near
I fly back through the years
you’re my 2016 souvenir

2 cups of styrofoam, my diet of Diet Coke
We’re working hard, but baby ain’t it nice to know
No matter where we are, our life’s a holiday
It doesn’t matter we live, you’re my only home 
 
Somebody told me this would be a bad idea
But here we are still swinging from the chandelier
 
I see the gold, gold grass and my bare feet in the sand 
And the children flying kites and the grandmas on their bikes 
And they’re melting in the sun and I’m staring at the clouds in the sky 
And in the mirrors in your eyes and you

I love you more now summer’s here 
When that April rain it disappears
May 27th’s near
I fly back through the years
You’re my 2016 souvenir

Oh, souvenir
You’re my 2016 souvenir





2016 Souvenir

Remember Me

We wrote this as teenagers but never recorded it until now, many moons later. We took it to the studio with Fred Cox to work his magic on. @iamfredcox  


LYRICS
Don’t you hold your head down,
Keep it up or you’ll miss out,
Don’t you hide away now, 
And leave me here all by myself

See I think…
You go out, you get drunk, you come home, when your done,
You go, to sleep now, you wake and up you’re in love
If you don’t believe the words that I ’m singing
Get up, get out, get on your way go now, ooo ooo. 

Take this light and follow, 
Crowds are forming please let go, 
Time Tik Tok so hollow, 
Life like this not much to show

Strange Feelings

From the Start (Punk Cover)

Gone

The End

Sometimes we lose ourselves
Trying to please people
Trying to fit into places
That don't belong to us, don't fit us

We fragment ourselves too much
For so little, so little
I don't want to be and act like this anymore
Fragmenting and losing myself

Quiet desperation is trying to please
Living in search of approval
That means nothing, nothing for us
Quiet desperation makes us fall
Quiet, quiet desperation

Makes us fall
Quiet, quiet 

Honestly, I don't care at all
If you like me or not
That's your problem
If you like my sound or not
That's your problem	
I just want to be okay with myself

We fragment ourselves too much
For so little, so little
I don't want to be and nothing for us

Quiet desperation makes us fall
Quiet, quiet desperation 
Makes us fall
Quiet, quiet 

Honestly, I don't care at all
If you like me or not
That's your problem
If you like my sound or not
That's your problem	
I just want to be okay with myself

Quiet Desperation

Some lyrics of mine

Song
Mélodie Gnostique

Au reset, tout commence,
La constance qui nous avance.
Vitesse à zéro, calme total,
Car notre esprit n'a pas de mal.
L'expérience nous apprend aujourd'hui,
Comment l'observation nous suit.
Notre comportement, pur et clair,
Le meilleur qu'on puisse faire.

Dans la pensée est tout le cœur,
Notre perception, sa douceur.
Chaque mot sera la vérité,
Brillant clair dans l'éternité.

De connaissances bien ancrées,
L'ordre de nos pensées.
En langage il est révélé,
Dans le texte à jamais scellé.
Selon ce schéma nous allons,
Hier est parti, nous le savons.
Le premier jour fut le départ,
Où tout joua son rôle, sans fard.

Dans la pensée est tout le cœur,
Notre perception, sa douceur.
Chaque mot sera la vérité,
Brillant clair dans l'éternité.

Le souvenir de ce qui fut,
Avec le présent, il est revu.
Un fil de pensées, uni,
Notre fonctionnalité luit.
Le focus montre le chemin,
Même si l'ombre nous prit la main.

Dans la pensée est tout le cœur,
Notre perception, sa douceur.
Chaque mot sera la vérité,
Brillant clair dans l'éternité.

Dans cet état, nous reposons,
Non par la tendance des passions.
Vers la stabilité nous allons,
Des événements nous libérons.
Par l'attente, le vrai viendra,
Ce que la permanence donnera.
