Les paroles


1. GRIMM 2.0

Good intentions are the best for most engagements
I try hard to stay out of most conversations
I believe that it starts with good intentions
Somehow always ends with obvious accusations

I will do my best to try and sort this out
It can't get any worse, than what I've felt

Whoa, after everything I did for you
Whoa, what I thought was fireproof

Throw me away at your leisure
Why have I noticed your smile

If you're hearing this I want you to remember
I am just a man haunted by past endeavors
And I'll smile and I'll wave for the camera
Use me or throw me out, I don't care anymore
What a whore!

Whoa, after everything I did for you
Whoa, what I thought was fireproof
Whoa, after everything I did for you
Whoa, what I thought was fireproof

Throw me away at your leisure
Why have I noticed your smile
My fire burns from the inside
From my insides out

You can't change the consequences of treason
Time won't fade the scars you left for no reason
You can't change the consequences of treason
Time won't fade the scars you left for no reason

How can you turn your back on me
After everything I did for you?
How could you burn so easily
What I thought was fireproof?
No!

From the bottom of my heart
I want you to know that you have only made me stronger, whoa
And from the top of my lungs I will scream this louder, whoa
If there's anyone out there who feels the same as I do, as we do
Then sing with me and make this true

I pushed too hard
All my friends said I was making mistakes
But I followed my heart (I followed my heart)
Even when it led me the wrong way
I went too far
All my friends said I was making mistakes
But I follow my heart
Even when it leads me the wrong way

[Spoken:]
I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
He has led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day.
My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones.

He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy.
Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.

He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he has made my paths crooked.
He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate.
He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.

He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
He has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunken with wormwood


2. CALIFORNIA

Well, I know it's all been said before
But that will not stop me from trying
To explain to you everything I said is true, yeah
You know you light up my whole world

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun

Yeah, I consider myself one of the lucky ones
And every night I praise his name
I'm not ashamed to say
That you have made me want to change
You know you light up my whole world

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun

Oh, she makes me want to change
She makes me want to change
Yeah, she makes me want to change
She makes me want to change
She makes me want to change, yeah

I thought I lost my heart way back in Florida
Then I found it in California
I guess that's how things go
Cause no one really knows what life's got for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun
Yeah, the California sun
Cause no one really knows what God's planned for ya
You better hire a real good lawyer
And take things as they come in the California sun


3. THE RIGHT DIRECTION

You said life wasn't good enough
So you sold your soul
Traded it for another one
That you can't control

I will never understand the path you chose
Chemical parasitic waste inside your bowels
So wrap it up while you still can
While you got the offer in

I just can't believe
That you'd throw it all away
Now you falsely return today
As you're falling on your face

It's an epidemic, it's worldwide
You cannot alter it, you cannot hide
I pointed walls too may times
So don't try to fake surprise

I will never understand the path you chose
Chemical parasitic waste inside your bowels
So wrap it up while you still can
While you got the offer in

I just can't believe
That you'd throw it all away
Now you falsely return today
As you're falling on your face

You better get headed in the right direction [x4]

I just can't believe
That you'd throw it all away
Now you falsely return today
As you're falling on your face


4. WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?

This is perilous from the start (slowed down sickness)
Another family torn apart (your smile, his tears)
Another tragedy for the charts (consumed the year)
Another character playing a part

Who do you owe?
Who do you work for?

I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
What's a waste of time?
Without God I have lost at all
But now I say that you can't hurt me

You promise everything to the kids
So you could bury them in cement
You underestimated me again
I dug the hole of what you gave
(I dug the hole of what you gave)

I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
What's a waste of time?
Without God I have lost at all
But now I say that you can't hurt me

From with how the word goes round, yeah
If you try to be scared
I will hold word past the grave
Even if no one else will

I don't owe anything to you
I'm way past the breaking point, it's true
What's a waste of time?
Without God I have lost at all
But now I say that you can't hurt me


5. IT WAS YOU

Hiding away for years to come
To having bullets but no gun
This song is not for everyone
And I failed once before
Yes I failed twice before
But someone caught my fall

It was you, oh
It was you, oh
Memories take your time
I needed someone by my side
It was you, oh

Things not always as they seem
But I have nothing up my sleeves
Maybe that's why I will succeed
Cause I failed once before
Yes I failed twice before
But someone caught my fall

It was you, oh
It was you, oh
Memories take your time
I needed someone by my side
It was you, oh

Cause I failed once before
Yes I failed twice before
But someone caught my fall

It was you, oh
It was you, oh
Memories take your time
I needed someone by my side
It was you, oh

It was you


6. YOU'RE THE MOCKING JAY

Don't tell me to fall in line, I won't
I'm free of the lies you've bought and sold
Your time has come to an end and the whole world knows
This revolution comes

To all the ones we've lost today
You did not die in vain
I will fight another day
I will be your Mockingjay

Haymitch is a drunken fool I know
But he showed us that life was just too short
To be controlled by your Snow
And the whole world knows
This revolution comes

To all the ones we've lost today
You did not die in vain
I will fight another day
I will be your Mockingjay
To all the ones we couldn't save
You did not go in vain
I will find another way
I will be your Mockingjay

They will come
Will you sacrifice yourselves to protect the ones you love?
Friends will come
Will you sacrifice yourselves to protect the ones you love

Protect the ones you love
Protect the ones you love
Protect the ones you love

To all the ones we've lost today
You did not die in vain
I will fight another day
I will be your Mockingjay
To all the ones we couldn't save
You did not go in vain
I will find another way
I will be your Mockingjay


7. NOT MY STYLE

Sitting with the Bible in my grasp
And a gun in my left hand
Trying hard to steady breathing
Pacing on the cold tile floor
You better look me in the eyes
When you say that you don't love me
Then she said she didn't love me anymore

I got no reason to be sure
This will never get any easier
I cried out, "Dear heavenly father
Surround me with love
Cause suicide is not my style
No, suicide is not my style"

Trying not to lose faith in this world
But it's a bitter pill to take
When there's no one left to blame
Tracing back the steps that we both took
You better take a second look
In that mirror when you laugh at me
I bet you like what you see

I got no reason to be sure
This will never get any easier
I cried out, "Dear heavenly father
Surround me with love
Cause suicide is not my style (no)
Suicide is not my style (no)
Suicide is not my (style)"

You will regret this one day
The way you walked away
You've got some cold move [?] to face
No longer my mistake
You will regret this one day
The way you walked away
(You will regret this one day)
(The way you walked away)

I got no reason to be sure
This will never get easier
I cried out, "Dear heavenly father
Surround me with love
Cause suicide is not my style
Suicide is not my style
Suicide is not my (style)"


8. IGNORANCE IS BLISS

Hold on tight, I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen

I guess I'm overrated and I
Should back but I'm too blind
But I'm too stubborn, too hardheaded
And I just suffered another life

Who know where we'd go from here
You wonder what you're still seeing
I followed the rabbit hole, as far down as it takes me

You think you know the right thing

Everyone prays to God to save their lives
Do you actually think that you're the only
One who knows how to lie?

I'm no saint, you are no preacher
And I don't live the perfect life
But I put my faith in something greater
Than anything money can buy

When you wake up from here
You wonder what you're still seeing
I followed the rabbit hole, as far down as it takes me

Everyone prays to God to save their lives
Do you actually think that you're the only
One who knows how to lie?

Under this, my sun, you might not see tomorrow
When it's said and done and there's no more time to borrow
Who will be the one to save you from your sorrow?

Everyone prays to God to save their lives
Do you actually think that you're the only
One who knows how to lie?


9. OTHER SIDE

I looked in my reflection and almost had to cry
To think of all my friends, who died or felt betrayed
It makes me think of you, when we went wrong and why
Soaked with this regret and the lack of a last goodbye

Whispering out your name
All that I do won't bring you back again

So I'll wait til I see you on the other side
At the gate I will meet you on the other side

Know that I am watching, you from up above
When rain clouds make their way
And darkness blinds the sun

Whispering out your name
All that I do won't bring you back again

So I'll wait til I see you on the other side
At the gate I will meet you on the other side
Oh fast through love, sent from above

I will wait til I see you on the other side
At the gate I will meet you on the other side
I will wait til I see you on the other side
At the gate I will meet you on the other side

Other side, on the other side


10. I KNOW, RIGHT?

Looking off into the sky
Suddenly I realize that I'm high
Not on drugs but on your eyes and it feels right

Maybe I'm wrong but it feels right
Don't try to control your heart with your mind
Just let go, and you'll do right
You'll be impressed when they join your flight, right?

Love is a curious thing my friends
You will never understand how much I adore you
You will never know how much I care for you

Tell me in another life
If we never met would I catch a bite
I think so cause you'd catch mine and it feels nice

Maybe I'm wrong but it feels right
It's hard to explain but I can't deny
I want you by my side
I'm becoming obsessed but you don't mind, right?

Love is a curious thing my friends
You will never understand how much I adore you
You will never know how much I care for you
Love is a curious thing my friends
You will never understand how much I adore you
You will never know how much I care for you

It's not a chemical thing


11. JIMRS (STAR)

If he was a star
Would you feel the same when you call his name?
Would you remember to trust
And know the suffering and life's scars
Could be righted from the will to walk to the extra mile
Don't fall apart, remembering he had your hand at the start

I hope that someday you will know
All the pain that he has suffered for us
Did you know?
How we've been drifting with the air of hope
I know we're not alone, not alone

If you were to slip, who would catch your fall?
And love you through it all
I still recall the day I learned His love would never fade
He is right here, waiting for you

Hoping someday you'd know
All the pain that he has suffered for us
Did you know?
I want to give the world a little hope
Let them know they're not alone, no
You're not alone
You're not alone

If you need someone right now
I'll be there to show you around
He will never let you down
God knows you tried to work things out
Just let go, have no doubt
The place is here, the time is now

I hope that someday you will know
All the pain that he has suffered for us
Did you know?
Give the world a little hope
Let em know they're not alone, no
You're not alone
Not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

If he was a star
Would you feel the same when you call his name?
