Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

I admit it... what's to say
I'll relive it... without pain
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I pray
Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself

Oh, try and mimic what's insane
I am in it... where do I stand?
Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet... I pray
Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself

You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time

Once upon a time I could control myself
Once upon a time I could lose myself
Once upon a time I could love myself
Once upon a time I could love you

Once

Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete
Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better set a days
Hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar
Dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
He don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again

Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read
Prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
He don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away
Fuck it up...

Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
He don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead, lead him away
Mommy, mommy...

Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him,
But I'm glad we talked...

I'm still alive

Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look
You know where, now I can't see, I just stare

I'm still alive

Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so, who answers ?

I'm still alive

She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees
Why go home...

She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone

Why go home?
What you taught me
Put me here
Don't come visit
Mother...
Sting me...

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
And all I taught her was everything
I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands shake beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
And twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why can't it be mine

At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops with him on top
Lemin yellow sun, arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', dropped wide open
Just like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today

Try to forget this
Try to erase this
From the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
The next time we touch

You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring
The sea will rise
Please stand by the shore
I will be there once more

What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me?

All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch

Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say

Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a-just one day
I know, when I would not ever touch you
Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again...

She don't wander in...don't wander in here
She don't wander in here...don't wander in here

The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone

After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone

I don't show...I don't share
I don't need, what you have to give

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden

I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone

I don't know...I don't care
I don't need you for me to live

On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep
Can't touch the bottom

On the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep
Can't touch the bottom
In too deep,
Can't touch the bottom

On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view
But he sinks himself deep

Can't touch the bottom
In too deep,
Can't touch the bottom

Father...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the verse in the rain

Dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...Release me

Dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...Release me
