1. INANIMATE

I might be reborn or it might burn my skin.
I just don't care, at least I'll finally feel something.
Tickle every needles stuck in this voodoo doll, stab it, stab it, stab it listen the sound that comes from this fucking empty wreck ; from this carbonized heart.
I'm this disheartened man who knows that he might end burnt-out.


2. EARTH. GRAZER

Life ain’t a gift.
You’ve grown up in the shit like most of us, mate.
You feel like dreaming awake.
You’re staying distant from the man that you really are.
It’s hard to swallow the pill, right?
I know.
You would have loved to deal with, without any problems.
Hey mate, we can see you through your fucking bubble.
Why can’t you see the people right before your eyes?
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all.
A remedy to your pain.
You’re sleeping awake, dreaming eyes opened.
You do behave just like all these fucking sheep.
You hate it.

God ain’t a shepherd.
You followed the wolves in their den but you’re just a lamb, like lost in the woods.
The world will turn, with or without you my friend.
We’re only passengers.
We live then we die.
You’re only wasting your time.

You better wake the fuck up.
You’re sinking a little bit more in the depths of the mirage.
Do you wanna run away from this hell?
You need a cure, a remedy to fix this all.
A remedy to your pain.
You’re trying to fit in this world where you live but you’re feeling like an outsider.
Just wake up. That’s a dream.
You are dreaming your eyes wide open.
What’s the fuck? Wake up.
That’s a dream.
You are dreaming your eyes open of your life.
Wake up mate, that’s a dream.
You are dreaming of your life.
Wake up
What’s the fuck?
Wake up mate.
Wake up mate, that’s a dream.
You are dreaming of your life.
Wake up
What’s the fuck?
Wake up mate.


3. GRAVITY

You're just a goddamn liar, playing a fucking a role,
bragging that perfect life you've never had.
The tables turn, kid.
I just can't wait to see it.
I wanna know what you are made of.
Oh

You just don't know who you are, there's not much left of yourself.
How could you even see with your heart?
You can not see the whole world around.

There is no chance to cover this hole.
I can't see where your heart takes place.
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself.
Because you're living a lie, you don't even know who your friends are.
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back down.

Alternating the reality, you heart is blinded by the that lies you told.
You want a life you'll never have, leading yourself to your motherfucking downfall.
Open your mind to the world around
or you will never make it out alive.

You just don't know who you are, there's not much left of yourself.
How could you even see with your heart?
you can not see the whole world around.

There is no chance to cover this hole.
I can't see where your heart takes place.
There's nothing clear in this game you play and you're losing yourself.
Because you're living a lie, you don't even know who your friends are.
Do you feel the gravity?
Just come back down.

Open your eyes all your loved ones are faking.
You're getting caught up by your lies, I just can't wait to see how this will end.
Oh, you'll never know how to animate your empty heart.
You'll never feel that fire.

You feel nothing.
Your chest is empty, you can't fill this space.
Your heart is gone for good, leaving you loveless.
It's been a while that you're life is a mindfuck.
How the fuck could you live with yourself?

You're just a goddamn liar, playing a fucking a role,
bragging that perfect life you've never had.
Facing the mirror, you just can't be yourself, feeling the reality slip between your fingertips.


4. ANTARES

There's more to life than what could ever meet the eyes.
So don't take a step back, the crowd's wild, and I'm ready to feed them.
They need this, a big mess.
I'll keep spitting in this mic 'til the feast's end.
I'm stressed out, but I breathe here.
Oh, I could die for this.

Can you hear me loud and clear now?
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out.
I'm sure you'll make it out alive.
You'll make it out alive.

This place is all we have, here and now.
I'd like to live this foreve
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow.
The show is over.

This is all I'll ever have I guess.
This is all I've got to light my way, and those moments are priceless.
I can't forget the miles, I walked.
I can't forget a single step since I left the warmth of a "home".

I'm so tired to see that I have been mislead.
It was a long road 'round the core.
When your eyes devour me,
I think that my only will is to simply look alive.
'Cause I feel dead when I'm out.

I can't bear my heartbeats in my chest, and my mind is such a deep mess.
I can't stand to see this fucking disaster the world made of me.
I'm so sick.

I'm just a man, a son of this pitiful world.
I can't feel the touch on my skin unless it burns.

Am I alive?

Can you hear me loud and clear now?
Why can't you sing along?
Sing your fucking heart out.
I'm sure you'll make it out alive.
You'll make it out.alive.

This place is all we have, here and now.
I'd like to live this forever.
I want to feel the ground once the bottle sounds hollow.
The show is over.
This place is all we've got here and now, It's time to let us be.
Can you hear me loud and clear?
It's time to let us live.


5. OUROBOROS

It’s getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write,tougher to feel things.
It’s getting harder to live, harder to pay bills, hard to feel alive.

It’s getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write, tougher to feel things, I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
Life must be sweet once we’re fucking dead.
Yeah, once we’re dead.

Sometimes I drown in the sound like trying to find the silence.
Lost in the noise of this world.
Show me the way through the darkness.
I gotta pay for a daydream.
Look at my soul, trapped with the bailiffs.
I might die, starving to death, biting my own tail again and again.
I can’t hear myself think, this fucking room must be talking ‘cause I can hear it.
I see me kissing death between these walls.
Life must be sweet on the other side.

I don’t wanna pay for a fucking life that I don’t want, because the rats get fat while the brave men die.
That ain’t a lie.
It’s sad to say but that’s how the world fucking runs.
No, this is not for the money, put your doubts aside.
Music is not about filling a fucking bank account.
That’s what they want, not what we fucking wanted.
It makes me sick, sick of seeing motherfuckers ruling the world whereas it burns.
Sick of living in a world that I don’t understand.
Amongst the wolves, sometimes I drown in the sound like trying to find the silence.
Lost in the noise of this world, show me the way through the darkness.

If I’m a basket case, this casket will welcome me with open arms like an old friend of mine.
Just like an old friend of mine.

Oh, I need a room to breathe.
No, I can’t go on like this.

It’s getting harder to breathe, harder to feel free.
It’s getting tougher to write, tougher to feel things, I need help.
I feel sick of taking these pills.
This life must be sweet once we’re dead.
Fuck.

Hell is full, don’t you see?
Hell is full and we’re dragged into the depths.
Oh shit… Heaven doesn’t exist.
We dance between the devil’s hands.


6. BLACK LIGHTS

I´m going away.
I´ll follow the sun on its journey to lead my steps.
No matter the winds, no matter the rain, I´ll keep on walking, I´ll see where it ends.
I tried to live through these souvenirs.
I have talked to this man I´ll never be and wiped all of these tears.
I tried to be what they wanted...
To be the saviour they´ve called here.
But all i needed was to find my place.


7. VOYAGER

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life, traded it all for my sake.
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should.
It's always crystal-clear.

I spent more time in this room to write all this than with my family and all my friends.
I traded my everything to feel free to walk my own path.

I won't be the one who forget his dreams, I'll make sure to remember them.
I'll take a glance at the Earth when I'll be on the roofs of the world.

The dream will be mine.
For now I wanna be the one who lead his life.
I might have took the longest way to leave my dream but every miles will bring me closer to it.

I'll build it all of my bare hands, will follow the sun on its journey.
I wanna tame this heart which is mine, feel that I'm leading my life.
I hold the key in my hands

I left behind me the comfort of a normal life, traded it all for my sake.
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should.
It's always crystal-clear.

These lines that I write are the mirror of my soul.
Like a letter to this kid who played alone.

Now... this kid do feel like a man he bear the weight of his dreams stands just before your eyes.
He found a meaning at his life.

He wanna know...
He wanna know what this life can bring him.
He wanna know where this road will lead, so take him away and show him places he'd never seen.

I remember the promise that I have made to myself.
The kid I was has grown up, but all his dreams stayed the same.
The souvenirs of his words linger inside of my head.
It's like crystal-clear.
This is us versus the fate.

I wanna know...
I wanna know what this damn life can be.
I wanna see where the road will lead, so take me away and show me these places I've never seen.
I left behind me the comfort of a normal life, traded it all for my sake.
I never questioned my choice, or even felt that I should.
For now I wanna be the who lead his life.
I might have took the longest way to leave my dream but every miles will bring me closer to it.
I'll build it all of my bare hands, will follow the sun on its journey.
I wanna tame this heart which is mine, feel that I'm leading this life for once.


8. MUCHOS TOUCHÉ

You wanna play the man, kid?
Aren’t you afraid to play with the fire?
So let’s play this game.
Gimme your best shot or you will get shot.

We’ve been like bros you and I…
Oh I know, I’ve been too nice.
All this time you lied like you breathe.
Fuck.
You lie like you breathe.

There is a place for you in one of these body bags.
You better watch your back.
I’ll slit your throat with the dagger that you left in my back.
You bastard, I curse your life.
I curse your life.

I’ll put you inside the trunk of an old Cadillac.
You’ll be found dead in a bag, next to a foxhole.
You’ll be the star of the newspapers main lines.
I swear to change your life in a fucking hell.

I truly hope that you pray hard enough for god to find his place in your head.
He'll have the leftovers when Ill be done but as long as your breath you belong to me.
Yeah...
I'll be last thing your eyes will see.
You better pray, I got time to kill.


9. ECHOES

I'm always striving to see clearly through all my troubles, I need a break.
This can't go on and on, I'm near from the breaking point.
Get me out of my routine.
My life is a mess, and if it's a little bit late to change it, then how could I even change myself ?
Yeah how could I change ?
I gotta believe in myself, rely on my feelings.

Just let me see the dawn, I'll find a way through the morning, a life for the night and some hope in this promise.

My demons entertain me when I'm haunted by all your murmurs.
My mind tends to break by itself, I revel in illegible images.

Oh God is laughing like a fucking brat who plays over an anthill.
Yeah, I do pray, I pray to stay outta reach far from his eyes.
I sway, with that bottle of brandy in hand.
I'm alleviating my soul when I drift through the void.

I have to say that all this is all making me deeply sick, it echoes in my head.
To save things never been part of my plans so I should just play dead but that's not my type.

Even sell my soul won't make a difference, it's never ending.
I'll sing as long as I don't know where I'm going to end.

Just met me see the dawn, I'll find a way through the morning, a life for the nights, a shelter in the glitter of all these lights.
If you let me see the dawn I'll find a way through the morning.
A life for the night and a meaning at all this.
I'll find a meaning at all this.


10. 5:12 AM

I've been hearing you murmur about a thousand times.
The minutes are running like rabbits and I'm chasing words.
It's almost midnight, you're probably already sleeping, the sandman by your side.
So we'll meet in our dreams.

I've been far, for so long.
I swear, soon I'll be home.
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up.
I see the miles pass one by one on the rear-view mirror, driving, 'til the night's end, foot on the gas, leaving all the rest behind.
It's 5am and I'm miles and miles away from home...
Frozen.
Following the signs along the road.

I've been far, for so long.
I swear soon, I'll be home.
If my heart is cold wrap it up please, warm me up.
I see the miles pass one by one in rear-view mirror, driving, 'til the night's end, foot on the gas, leaving all the rest behind.
I miss your presence, I need you by my side.
I wished a thousand times upon these shooting stars to see you cross that door.
'Cause I feel half alive since you're gone.


11. THE LICHTENBERG FIGURE

I'm not the greatest writer.
Oh, I'm not the greatest, no.
I'm not perfect, not even novelist.
This time you better listen up.
Oh, life have barely changed.
Twenty-two, still pissed, plenty of shits in the backpack and nikes on my feet.
Many pieces are missing since I came back home.
I can't deal with my own life, I'm incomplete.
Another empty wreck...
Shit !
I'm just the shell of a man which is absent.
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant.
What I have is far from being gold but I write open-hearted, my balls in the inkwell.
Fuck it, I'm done with swallowing bullshit since hitting it off has become an addiction.
I needed more than these words going nowhere to show you that my life is not such a poem.
Some black clouds will get so much bigger no matter how lucky I am.
I've never learned how to live with the thunder.
My heart is a lightning rod and I'm walking under a thunderstorm mesmerized by the lights.
With my eyes half shut.
I do live through these lines, writing this song just to say what I got to.
I need much more than these words just to show you that it's a struggle to be able to believe in this life.
Hey ! Hey !
I write with my heart open.
Hey ! Hey !
Even if it can be so callous.
Hey ! Hey !
Just listen.
This heartbeat have so much to say.
I just can't keep it in.
I just won't it in.
I'm not the greatest writer and this isn't the greatest song.
I'm not perfect, not even novelist, I'm not saint, I'm not a fucking prophet.
Fuck this, I'm just drifting.
I keep moving pushed by the movement.
I'm still trying to pull the strings of my fucking life.
Oh, you can keep the pain, the fame, the money and the whores 'cause I'm a body-shaped shell in a sorry state.
« My friends, you better listen ! This man you see now isn't totaly different, along the road he thought he'll found himself, a fucking sens at these goddamn feelings ».
I'm just the shell of this man which is absent.
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant.
What I have is far from being gold but I write open hearted, my balls in the inkwell.
Fuck is I'm done with swallowing bullshit going nowhere to show you that my life is not such the poem.
I'm just the shell of this man which is absent.
I'm wearing his skin but I'm partially vacant.
My heart is a lightning rod and I'm walking under a thunderstorm mesmerized by the lights.


12. SOUVENIRS

I know I can't define this life.
I know you can't see through.
These answers I'm seeking for are way too deep to be found.
My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes.
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?
I’ve been changing.

It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing, and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.

I was such a mess before this, I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself, I'll set this world in check, I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life.

I will never let you define my way of life.
I thought we've been watching the same sun but we're way too far to finally feel warmed.

This is my time to speak.
This is the time to forgive.
I've been betraying the kid that I was.
Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?

I didn't think the show would last so long.
Though it should last forever now.
I was seeking for this ; having a chance to speak to try to feel better.
I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me.
I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems with the detachment the drug brings.

I've got these dreams to stand for, got my voice to speak despite the lies around me now but this bitter taste that they're leaving won't let me feel anything.
It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
My heart beats, covered in bruises.
I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
I did my best to show you that I've been changing, and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.

I was such a mess before this, I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
My heart has braced itself.
I'll set this world in check,
I finally found myself.

I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
All that I can see is the distance since these days.
I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life.


BONUSTRACKS (DELUXE EDITION)

13. TWENTY YEARS

We all live different hells.
Some might live with but some just can't.
So why should I live a different way?
Yes a different way !

Already twenty years have passed and I still can't live at ease.
Oh, come on, fuck it.
They claim the fame, but all they give is a spit at our faces.
When they're playing their bullshit.

What does it take?
What does it take you to forget your pride?
What does it cost?
What does it cost you to pay the price?

It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others.
Although they want it to be.
I can swear to you that I am probably the most blamed because I shout those fucks I lived.
Fuck your false feelings, your appearance, 'cause the best are often the most rotten inside.
So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes.
Right in front of your hearts ;

Fuck your false feelings.
'Cause the worst are the brighter inside.
I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes.
Until they dry from the inside out.

From the inside out.
From the inside out.

I'm gonna prove to you that we're all dying to make a place down here.
We're all dying to make a place down here.

It's not only a game based on what you reflect to others.
Although they want it to be.
I can swear to you that I am probably the most blamed because I shout those fucks I lived.
Fuck your false feelings, your appearance 'cause the best are often the most rotten inside.
So I'll put the truth right in front of your eyes.
Right in front of your hearts.

Already twenty years have passed and I still can't live at ease.
Oh, come on, fuck it.
They've made the game, but all the need is a spit at their faces when they play their shit.

We all live different hells.
Some may live with but some just can't.
So why should I live a different way?
Yes, a different way.


14. HEARTFELT

Those heartfelt feelings that I got.
Are getting a hold of me.
I gotta let them be and this is why I need to tell you the things that I feel.
How much it means to me.
How much it counts to me.

You were into my heart before it locked itself.
You're all I can save from the shallowness.
You're the key of my soul but my soul is lost when love's a door that we fear to leave unlocked

Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind you're bringing back the pulse in my veins.
You've seen the the back of my mind but now it's hard to mean something.
I found this fire burning into your breast this love has never been much brighter than what I could guess.
The things we've lacked could have changed us for a better version of ourselves.

No matter what they can say !
Or the price we might have to pay for this.
They can't change the way that I feelthe way that I feel when.
There is always a way to cross all the miles that will pave our fate.
We just can't change.
And the world can stop.
I won't give a fuck 'cause I've got something that counts.
And I will never let it leave.

They spit the venom, I gotta take it out love is a hushed bird you shouldn't cast out.
Well if it's meaning a break, they shouldn't have lied
Shouldn't have spent a whole night riding a fat ass
I can't feel a remorse, I can't have time to find why you're that addictive
'Cause a sad heart cannot fake feelings
It's not the first time that love is dead living.

It makes me sick, cause all of the mistakes we've done.
Were meant to make our path.
Snakes will keep spitting but we remain faithful to our beliefs.

I'm so tired of these shits, no matter what and how many times we've to rebuild on ruins.
A structure that can hold us closely.

No matter what they say.
Or the price we might have to pay for this...
They can't change the way I feel, they can't.
Nor your place in my heart when you're next to me.

Even the worst we've lived could never change my mind, you're bringing back the pulse in my veins.
You've seen the back of my mind but now it's hard to mean something.

I found this fire burning into your breast this love has never been much brighter than what I could guess.
The things we've lacked could have changed us for a better version of ourselves.

The winter has passed, I was hoping you'd hold... on through those nights in the cold.
You don't know how much I'm hollow.
How much I miss you.

The summer is coming I'm awaiting the day, when I can finally take you home.
'Cause this time I'm gonna show you.
How much I love you !
