Ricochet

All of my life
They told me
Someday I'll fly
Higher and higher
But I'm just getting lower and lower
And now my thoughts are just like a boomerang
That keeps hitting me in the head
It won't go away
So I pretend
Waiting for the day I'll say
I never thought I could feel it again, I think I will stay
For the day I'll sway
And cheer with my friends
Saying : I won't ricochet,
This time I'm okay
All of my fears
They've found me
And like to stay here
Along with me
Just like an old friend
(They love to give you preconception) So I wish for a new friend
(They love to burn your true perception)
Waiting for the day I'll say
I never thought I could feel it again, I think I will stay
For the day I'll sway
And cheer with my friends
Saying : I won't ricochet,
This time I'm okay
I feel like I'm trapped in a glass of water, perfectly adapted to my size, which slowly fills up and eventually overwhelms me
And there's nothing I can do about it
Waiting for the day I'll say
I never thought I could feel it again, I think I will stay
For the day I'll sway
And cheer with my friends
Saying : I won't ricochet,
This time I'm okay

Spiral
03:04
|

|
We were two kids, invincible
Running through life, unbreakable
No one else could understand
Life will never be the same
Cause we ran after time like an endless spiral We ran after time like we always have
We have grown up then torn apart No one now to see the stars
I miss those smiles more than ever Feels like we were happier
Then we ran after time and it felt hopeless So we run after time start to lose ourselves
Take me back to the old days,
So that we could restart over again
Cause I want to believe,I want to see the sights, tonight Cause, I want to believe,
I want to feel another spark
Far and wide, I'll find somehow
The place where we used to hide
I will try to make reappear all those faded memories
Cause I want to believe
I want to feel another spark Yeah I want to believe
Cause I want to believe,I want to see the sights, tonight

Proper Attitude
03:26
|
|

|
I wear a smile
and a proper attitude on me
To show you how
today I am feeling terrific
Why don’t you see?
I am just pretending to be
Flawless and emotionless
But there’s something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
Tons of things that I drag
heavily like a convict's ball
I won’t disagree, yeah
I won’t disagree, well
You know, I love,
to ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried
I’ve tried to feel good
Few months later,
here I am, just still dealing with this
The fortress that
I’ve built just no longer exists
Why can’t you see?
I feel like a naked baby
Vulnerable and assailable
Cuz there’s something going on with me, yeah
Going on with me, well
They’ve always loved to
ruin everything I believed in
To mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried
But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll never be good enough
Not enough for you
I'll never be good enough for anyone
Never been good enough for me
My mind called me and told me so
I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll mess up and throw it all away
I’m sorry honey but I
have to admit that I’ve tried
But I can't spend one more night exhausting you
With my incapacity to face up to this reality
I’m going to face the fact that
I’ll never be good enough
and never feel good

Missed Connections
03:04
|
|

|
So I wander through the nights
Dragging my feet under the lights
‘Cause nobody wants to sink
I thought I would run to you
But when I arrived to the hill
you were already gone
So now
we are missed connections
Too far and yet so close
I feel less alone
So I wander through the nights
Dragging my feet under the lights
‘Cause nobody wants to sink
I know you’re just a picture
A picture I’ve made to myself
to hide the real problem
‘Cause in this world full of people
I have never felt so alone
and messed up
So I wander through the nights
Dragging my feet under the lights
‘Cause nobody wants to sink
And I wonder how to survive
When it’s over to stay alive
‘Cause nobody wants to sink

Tell me I'm wrong
Just highlight my mistakes
Oh I wish you'd stay to remind me
The way I feel
I could hate myself sometimes and I would rather die other times
So glad to hear that you're happy
I wish you would have been sorry
You know I don't care
If I don't fit you
Cuz I will no longer feel guilty for being here
I won't make no apologies and I'm done with compromises
What I'm bout to say I mean it
And I really don't give a shit
I would burn your house if I could
And I'll ruin your life if I would
You have trampled all my feelings
And you made it your own entertainment
You turned my love for you into hatred
Cause you never felt sorry for me
Now I'm fed up, just want to be happy
Now I wish myself to be happier!!
Now I wish myself to be happy
With you or without you
Now I wish myself to be happy
With you or without you

Curse
03:02
|

|
All of my life I've tried to forget
All of the things that make me think of you
But it's like you're standing on the doorstep
Ready to get over with this
Oh my mind is distorted
Oh my mind is twisted
But I could never run away from you
You'll always be there
Somewhere, hidden in the dark corner
But I won't surrender
No I won't surrender
You will always be there, somewhere
But I won't surrender
I had to learn to grow up with it
An anxiety that stick onto your skin
Sometimes you were just out of my mind
But each of these nights, you came back
Now my mind is distorted
Oh my mind is twisted
But I could never run away from you
You'll always be there
Somewhere, hidden in the dark corner
But I won't surrender
No I won't surrender
You will always be there, somewhere
But I won't surrender
I know you will keep eating my insides
Standing in the dark, I am paralyzed Stay away from me
I know you're not real
I won't hurt no more
Cause I won't surrender
No I won't surrender
You will always be there, somewhere
But I won't surrender

A Letter To Them
03:49
|
|||
|
I was just a kid looking for some kind of love
So I've been waiting patiently until I grew up
Now I know, sometimes, life won't be that way
Life is not worth the effort so you give it up
We tend to forget that we can be content by ourselves
But I know, sometimes, it's hard to be alone
I wish you'd be sorry
I wish you would take my hand and tell me all those things:
I'll be there for you
No matter what we're going through
And I will wipe your tears, heal your pain so it won't last this time
So I have tried to keep my hopes through all these years
And I feel silly for having thought it will become real
Now I've learned, sometimes, love cannot be won
And even as I walk away from you, you're still hunting me
And I am so sick and tired of your fake sympathy
I just want to let you down and drown all your demons with you
And I wish you'd be sorry
I wish you would take my hand and tell me all those things:
I'll be there for you
No matter what we're going through
And I will wipe your tears, heal your pain so it won't last this time
And I hate myself for having thought that someday it would change
And I hate myself for having thought that someday it may change
And I hate myself oh god I hate it all, despise myself
Now I have to learn how to tell myself
I'll be there for you
No matter what we're going through
And I will wipe your tears, heal your pain so it won't last this time

Violent Oblivion
03:31
|
|||
|
When I wake up, I feel that empty space
Violent oblivion, no one can see
Where to restart, Where could I go?
When I don't even know who I could be
I feel you
I touch you
I desire you
But I don't want you
My mind plays tricks
And gives me migraines
I don't want to die
I want to live
But It hurts too much
I feel like I'll never get out of this
Violent oblivion, take me away
I feel you
I touch you
I desire you
But I don't want you

Air Hunger
03:25
|
|
||
|
Sometimes I'd like to go to a place very far away
Another planet just for another oxygen
I feel an intense tightening right in my chest and a warm suffocation
I tried to survive I tried everything I saw online
But it feels like everybody down here is dead inside
So now I am waiting weakly for someone around, to rescue me
Cause I feel like I’m underwater
I cant’ breath! I’m feeling air hunger
Don't let me live another aimless day
Don't let me live another one
Unless you get me out of this oblivion
Sometimes I dream I land on a place faraway in space
Another galaxy with another atmosphere
But everything looks empty, lifeless, with no one around, for salvation
Cause I feel like I’m underwater
I cant’ breath! I’m feeling air hunger
Don't let me live another aimless day
Don't let me live another one
Unless you get me out of this oblivion
One day I'd like to go to a place very far away
Another planet, another oxygen

Acte Manqué
03:29
|

When you feel right you cannot realize
When your traumas will ring at the door
So when they are coming
They just wanna be your closest friends
To make sure you're alone with them ready to suffocate
So you run
Yeah you better run
You run away from this house full of doubts
Yeah I run away from myself
Now I don't know where I'm going, if I'm swimming or just sinking.
I just take it one day at a time and think that way to try to feel right
I'll be honest, lied to myself, it's a hard time when you dive into it
You no longer feel anything at all
You told me to change, some things around me
But not how to get out of my bed
And it doesn't feel any better
I just throw myself a little more each day into my acte manqué
Cause I don't know where I'm going
I just don't know where I'm going, if I'm swimming or just sinking
Now I take it one day at a time and think that way to try to feel right
I'll be honest, lied to myself, it's a hard time when you dive into it
It's hard to let go
So hard to let go
So hard to let go
You could stab me right through my heart
You could hate me and leave me apart
́Cause I am and I will feel nothing
I no longer feel anything at all
And now I'm stuck in the middle of nonsensical apprehension of my emotions I feel lost, I feel trapped
So I run (better run)
So I run (better run)
Run away from myself
Cause I don't know where I'm going, if I'm swimming or just sinking
Now I take it one day at a time and think that way to try to feel right
I'll be honest, lied to myself, it's a hard time when you dive into it
It's hard to let go
So hard to let go
You no longer feel anything at all

Love Picture Soundtrack
03:24

So we talk all night
We hope and we dream
And then we fuck it up
We try and repeat
It's been a while since all this started
And yet we're going in the wrong direction
Let's start again
So you called my phone
To Say you're alone
And then I came along
We ended up stoned
Cause baby with you I could die tomorrow
I won't regret anything as long as you
Hold my hand
So we go through the world together
All night long
We'll roam with our madness forever
And I know it's true
When I say to you
I love you
We might bend
But we're not even close to surrender
Every evidence
Comes with its own challenge
I couldn't tell you more
Bout what I had to ignore
Cause at that time, I was afraid of loosing you
And all those precious memories that felt like a dream
So hold my hand
So we go through the world together
All night long
We'll roam with our madness forever
And I know it's true
When I say to you
I love you
We might bend
But we're not even close to surrender
And I know it's true
When I say to you
I love you
And I still fantasize about you
When you say I love you

I am flying to the sky now
Spinning through the atmosphere
I left my body down here
And lost myself in the air
I am floating faraway in space, forever
