As you think you’re safe
Are you laughing in your dreams?
When you’ll have to climb down the staircase to hell
Will you bend the knee or raise the chin?
We bred this bane locked inside ivory towers
Hear the death knell
Could we please open
Could we please open our fucking eyes?
We’re dozing while
Our kingdom’s wobbling
Despair is at our gates
And we’re trapped in our hypnosis
The blade is hanging by a thread
We’re slowly falling
From the apex to the abyss
I can’t even see my life
Flashing before my eyes
Have I always been so blind?
Watch the sky collapsing, the oceans running riot
The ground retching its caustic poison
We, the sleeping sceptics,
Turned our beds into burning wrecks
Can we still close the valves?
Is it already too late?
Will a single life rise from the ashes of our forests ?
Here is the aftermath
Of our glorious reign
But we keep, swallowing that shit
Again and again and again and again
Will we ever realise?
Will we ever learn?
We’re slowly falling
From the apex to the abyss
I can’t see my life
Flashing before my eyes
Have I always been blind ?
As you think you’re safe
Are you laughing in your dreams?
When you’ll have to climb down the staircase to hell
Will you bend the knee or raise the chin?
As you think you’re safe
Will you bend the knee or raise the chin?

I’ve been waiting for a sign
Since the day I realized
I’m lost, I fucked up
Empty
I’d rather die alone and young
Than keep pretending I belong
To your cult, your madness
the disgrace you created
So I keep walking
Among these ghosts
I never trust them
Life is my burden
My head is burning as I'm overthinking
I no longer trust you
I just want to embrace the dust
And feel the nil
Ces secrets me suivront
Dans la tombe
Have you ever tried to hold the sand
Have you ever tried
Would you pray the lord or join the snake
In its decay
My legs
Are hurting
Enslaved
I’m falling
I'm joining the martyrs
Icarus
You burned your wings but
What if the sun goes down?
I need
Some water
Embrace
My saviour
I welcome the reaper
Seeds can't grow up
On the desert
Sahara
I'm rotten

Born to pray, afraid to die
Is that a life to fight for?
Lose your faith, learn to hope
Before your heart stops beating
We reached the sky
As we were still breathing
Don’t fear the light
You’re missing the essential
Flat brains, are you afraid?
You’re thinking out loud, you’re thinking out loud
My astronauts are your angels
Are your angels
Your heaven is sci-fi
Your church, wonderful lies
Don’t wait to see the light
You’ll miss the essential
Your heaven is sci-fi
Your church, wonderful lies
Don’t wait to see the light
You’ll miss the essential
J’irai brûler vos écrits
Et je prends le pari
Nul enfer ne m’attend
J’irai souffler un vent sur vos tristes savants
J’attendrai patiemment votre dernier jugement
Et raserai vos autels d'argent
Vos autels d’argent
They claimed : “your facts are folies
God never wanted that”
Scientists and agnostics
These words are in your honour
You're never afraid to face the truth
May you stay open minded
You're always looking further
To make this world a better place
Flat brains, are you afraid?
You’re thinking out loud, you’re thinking out loud
My astronauts are your angels
Are your angels
Burn down the holy writings
We are the end of all things
Don’t trust the so called saviour
Never again
There is no unique answer
Slay down the puppet master
We reached the skies
Like the astronauts
I found my heaven
In these constellations

Foreign Home

A sun sets upon myself
I’m laying on a bed of memories
My mind is full of smells and songs
I used to know
A brand new soul
To fit in a rotten envelope
To start over
With a wider scope
More humane than ever
In a world of waste and wars
Under the fierce Northern sky
I shook hands with hope
Let them go
Go away
Your demons, your burdens
Watch them go away
From the porch of your foreign home
Writing a new chapter
Embracing my future
Time is running out
I'm filling my hourglass
With ashes from the past
And treasure them forever
Oh how I miss them, these red brick walls and their familiar past
These shabby pubs, their haunting smell that swallows you so fast
These drunk teenagers yelling and singing in the bus
The sweet sound of skateboards skimming on the curbs
This melting pot of people strolling across the streets
These long hikes on wild hills to reach the top of bliss
And the furtive taste of a celestial stranger’s lips that whispered
Let them go
Go away
Your demons, your burdens
Watch them go away
From the porch of your foreign home
Writing a new chapter
Embracing my future
Time is running out
I'm filling my hourglass
With ashes from the past
And treasure them forever
Time will cover up my stitches
Whose healing ain’t over yet
And they will never hurt again
No, never hurt again
Never unpack your luggage again
Home is everywhere
Everywhere
