In the next century
What will be left
Of our lives
Out of order hard drives
Full of useless memories'
Archives
The pictures you take
Won't last longer than
The novels you write
Put your head in the cloud
Immaterial emotions
Delight
Watch how all the screens
Dilate the iris
There is no control means
Can't stop the virus
Here comes the rise and fall
Of the modern empire
An insidious firewall
Blocks all desire
The script is written
And there's no part
For human feelings
Delete the word love
And forget its meaning
It means nothing
Isn't life better
Without thoughts
At the back of your mind
In the last pic there is you
There is me
And the seafront behind
Watch how all the screens
Dilate the iris
There is no control means
Can't stop the virus
Here comes the rise and fall
Of the modern empire
An insidious firewall
Blocks all desire

The Colors' Suicide

The Colors’ Suicide
I used to sit down
Somewhere, sometimes
Then I let my mind
Wander and unwind
Ten thousand ants are
Walking straight through
A flavor of war
Makes me feel blue
I’m hung over now, can’t think at all
Hanging around here and there
I don’t wanna see, don’t wanna hear
I can’t stand the feel of the burden of fear
In my soul, (there’s) nothing at all
Only the night holding me tight
Where does the sun hide
It crept away
The colors’ suicide
Makes our hearts grey
Children’s face gets old
Faster and faster
Toy factories fold
Over and over
What’s happened to me, what’s happened to you
Are the persons I see the same as
The ones I knew, the ones I loved
The ones who have still
A place appart deep
In my soul, (there’s) nothing at all
Only the night holding me tight
What is the next step now
Is there a deeper slough
Cause I just want my mind
To wander and unwind
In my soul, (there’s) nothing at all
Only the night holding me tight

How Does It Feel

How Does It Feel
She looks pretty in the photographs
But it doesn’t ring true when she laughs
She’s a virtual good shag on the screen
A sexual go-between
You can tell her anything you want
You can give your misery a flaunt
She must be punished for what you are
She must feel your scar
In the night
You feel so lonely
You can’t fight
And your frustrations
Come to light
And you hate yourself
As much as the other ones
Like a million people all around
Your life is a big fall to the ground
You didn’t fulfill half of your dreams
You’re always off the beam
But behind the screen you can hide
Like a venomous snake you slide
Feeding on a taboo pleasure scene
And on the others’ sin
And all day
You wear a suit and tie
It’s your way
Of looking dandy
You display
But you hate yourself
As much as the other ones
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be someone else
Does it look like Hell

Nothing Really Matters
My mind feels like sleeping
Don’t know what’s coming
Nothing really matters
It can wait for later
Everybody feeds me
They try to help me
But I cannot somehow
Wake-up and move on
Now
My phone rings and rings at anytime
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
In the night a siren is wailing out there
I don’t care, I don’t care
My mind flies with angels
Now the world is graceful
Nothing really matters
In deep slumber
Here living is easy
Goodbye old worry
Don’t need no more answer
It makes me better
Now
My phone rings and rings at anytime
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
In the night a siren is wailing out there
I don’t care, I don’t care
There’s a flash then someone’s shouting near
I don’t fear, I don’t fear
Whatever happens anywhere
I’m not there, I’m not there
The ride is beautiful
In the spiral fall
The only thing to learn
Is that there’s no return
Nothing matters
It makes me better
My phone rings and rings at anytime
I don’t mind, I don’t mind
In the night a siren is wailing out there
I don’t care, I don’t care
There’s a flash then someone’s shouting near
I don’t fear, I don’t fear
Whatever happens anywhere
I’m not there, I’m not there
I’m not there

The Falling Star
I’ve been trying hard
To understand you
But you catch me off guard
Whatever you do
You blow in my life
Like a furious storm
Your smile faced with strife
Is bound to make me warm
Each time I see you
A brand new day rise
For you exorcize
My fears
All the words you say
Help me to feel fine
And come rain or shine
You remain of good cheer
Sometimes you stop by
And you stare at me
Then you ask me why
I don’t feel free
You live in a world
That is not true
Look at this wild-eyed bird
Isn’t it like you
Anyone you meet
Becomes a new friend
And you apprehend
His pain
But when you get blues
You stay all alone
Nobody’s at home
To cheer you up

What Did We Do

What Did We Do
I see
Something in your eyes that scares me
Suddenly you’re a stranger to me
And I just want to run away
We hurt
As much as we suffer, we flirt
And the second after pervert
Every chance to find a way
What did we do to make it happen
What did we say to make it run
How come our love just have turned
Into this hateful feeling
We lie
As often as we deny
Talking about another try
When you and I know it’s too late
It’s true
There is one too much in this room
All the bearable air is consumed
And there’s no more reason to wait
What did we do to make it happen
What did we say to make it run
How come our love just have turned
Into this hateful feeling
You can tear it or even burn it
This is the letter I wrote
They won’t please you, they’ll surely hurt you
But these words are my thought
I don’t want to
Deceive you and me
Anymore
That’s why when you will read this
I’ll be far
What did we do to make it happen
What did we say to make it run
How come our love just have turned
Into this hateful feeling
How come our love just have turned
Into misunderstanding

Falling In Love
I do what you want
If you want me to jump
I jump from ten miles high
Spreading my wings
These little things
That have been growing on my back
Since the night you kissed me
All I can see
Is time and miles that separate us
Like an endless wall
Why don't you call
I have got so many things to tell you
But mainly one
I'm falling in love
I can't sleep at night
The emptiness of my life
Suffocates me
I'd like to have fun
Like everyone
I hate all these moments
That we don't share
And I hate to say I
Me and myself
So let's talk about you
And what you want me to do
I'm falling in love
And honey I know you're like the sun
And in the end you always come
Night after day you’re the one I ache for
Honey I love you and so much more
I'm falling in LOVE !!!

Have You Got Someone
Ain’t got nothing to lose, gonna do what you want, girl
But don’t let me hang around, can’t stand it no more
All those wasted times to have something on my mind
And now I’m down on my knees, ready to implore
Have you got someone
Have you got someone
Have you got somebody else in your heart but me
I’m pacing up and down like a lion in cage, girl
If you want me to bite, it wouldn’t be long
Don’t call me if you’re late, for I was born to wait
I’ve got the feeling you start to take the piss out of me, girl
Have you got someone
Have you got someone
Have you got somebody else in your heart but me
It’s not easy to find what comes into your mind
Why are you looking down when I beg you for a kiss, girl
Have you got someone
Have you got someone
Have you got somebody else in your heart but me

Sha La La La La
Downtown, there’s a bar
Where I’m used to go
There, all the people are
A part of the show
There’s a girl called Lilly
She’s drunk every night
She’s not what she’d like to be
But I like her inner light
Lilly never met love
Men in her life were a pain
Now she’s a mourning dove
Still waiting for a
Sha la la la la
There’s also a man
Wearing suit and tie
He does what he can
To earn one fucking dime
Not enough to pay
Years of unpaid bill
But he’s allowed to stay
Cause he’s dressed to kill
Here, the dandy tramp
Is talking to a junk
A drag queen and a vamp
All waiting for a
Sha la la la la
But no change is coming in
Standing at the bar
The owner plays the score
On his face, a big scar
He’s a tough guy for sure
He looks old and tired
But if you watch his eyes
You see a teeny light
That goes through the night
And I know what he knows
What kind of man I am
Lost in the shallows
Still waiting for a
Sha la la la la

Who's Happy On Earth

Who’s Happy On Earth ?
If the world is real
Got my ticket to space
Because I just feel
Here’s not my place
I was born to stay
Off the beaten track
And when I make my way
I don’t look back
Under the pouring rain
Under the burning sun
I just walk in vain
Looking for Heaven
Miles after miles
I travel up hill and down dale
Savouring my exile
Straight ahead, full sail
And if you see me walking by
Please don’t try
To keep me by your side
Eden is a dream
And it’s a beautiful lie
Things are not what they seem
Don’t ask me why
Here’s the autumn wind
That sweeps our love away
And that wrinkle our skin
Forever and a day
Now it’s time to burn
All our old belief
And it’s time to learn
To get through our grief
And if you see me walking by
Please don’t try
To keep me by your side
Who’s happy on Earth
Who can think that he’s free
Is death a second birth
For you and me
