Smother

Is there something such as too much love ? And is it true, you'd drown a flower
Into too much water ?
Or can the sun
Turn its kiss into a burn ?
Wrapped in my arms I didn't feel you shiver And in a land of plenty
You can still feel hunger
You only wanted to undo
What was forced onto you
Daughter,
May you rise
Stronger
Cause I need a light
To embrace your thunder
Will you stand as prosecution witness
Or can you put up with my failures and my weakness I stood my trial
Pleaded guilty of charge
Would plead to anything so you
Could get through
Daughter,
May you shout
Louder
Cause I need a light
To embrace your thunder
I had found a way to carry on
But I loved you wrong
I loved you wrong
Say « Mother, You smother »,
Say « Mother, You smother me »

Moonchild

Outside, Moonchild
Stands by in the schoolyard
She'd wait forever
Sitting on her mood swing
Staring at the ground
Digging with her foot
The dirt around
Secret magic vision
Seeing passed the people
Lost in transition
Daydreamer...
Inside, an outcry
Held by the living stage fright
Clinging tight
To the reins of caution
Favoring the deads
For the conversations
Unfolding her head
Secret magic vision
Seeing passed the people
Lost in transition...
And all realities crumble
Through an invisible
Looking glass
A spirit in a dream
That never lasts
She's a martyr,
A painted warrior,
The silver figure,
Dancing on the water
Moonchild
Outside, Moonchild
Stands by in the schoolyard

Dishonorable Discharge

Ô Holy is the crusade they launch
To clear the head of the maniac
Sealing the lips
They silenced the little devil
Biting the bit
It complied like a tamed animal
Wheel it in to the shrine
The needle filling in the line
The limbs were numbed
I wonder why
When you went to war
My flag was already high
Charge, clear, shock
The sarge you hear will raise his flock
It's the charge of the
Light Brigade
The treatment of choice for the renegade
A paper boat is drifting
On the stream of tears of oblivion
Carrying away
The dreams of the little children
Finding its way
To the bottom of the ocean
Neon light
And the sharp sheet of ice
They screened the gold
And left me the brown
Kicked the dead horse
When it was already down
Charge, clear, shock.

Honey

I thought our bond so strong
You'd reach me from beyond
I looked for signs, knocks, ghosts and shadows
What those people testify in talk-shows
If you had only stayed a little bit longer
You would have heard me sing
And met my new daughter
And sometimes I still hear the phone
The one you thought meant that I was home
But then I remember
That I cried over and over
And like the smell on your pillow case
You were gone without a trace
And you said: « till death tears us apart,
And hopefully a little after that »
I bake the cakes you made
But they never taste the same
I scrape the nooks and crannies of my memories
Stitching back the pieces of your stories
If I had only told you a little bit sooner
I would have held you tight
To keep your soul well strapped
And sometimes I still feel the warmth
The one I found in your woolen arms
But then I remember
How your limbs became colder
And like the plague of Medusa's stare
You were stone and I was bare
And you said we'd meet sometime somehow
But I miss you now

La Louve

There's a Wolf under the Willow tree
Howl and howl as you can plainly see
There is no harm
In the weeping leaves' embrace
There's a wolf hiding in the darkness
She will never tell of her distress
Harrowing fears
Eat the kindness off her face
And she runs till her paws fly off the ground
And she runs till the thaw brings up the dawn
Of a new howl : « Awoooooo... »
There's a Wolf under the Willow tree
In the moonlight I can plainly see
Wondering eyes
Ask the meaning of the chase

Rose of Sharon

Roll my burden up and up
Never reach the mountain top
And even if the struggle only matters
It'd be nice once in a while
To see the world from up high
From your steel and ivory tower
Faceless heads walk the gutter
But if you want to see scars and smiles
Then you belong to the ground
To see the world from way down
I wanted you to know my name
But it's not always been the same
I want to see the look on your face
When your world falls
Down the river flows the blood
Her dead child carried by the flood
But Rosasharn will save us all
And feed the world in her arms
You see the work of a woman

Princess Pride

Why would I owe you anything
When I owe it to no one
And I'll take pride in all my failings
As long as the credit is mine
Join the parade in a swarm of flies
Your crown of laurels
Suits your greedy eyes
Shall I praise the Lord
For a comfortable cell
Shall I raise my voice In this celestial hell
Bearing my name
I'll shine in all my commonness
Yielding to no one
And I'll take the blame for your
Highness He's yours and the loss is mine
Playing the fool on a house of cards
You thought your scheming
Would catch me off guard
Like an unfortunate tattoo on your arm
It will be bearing my name
Like the scar you got when you smashed your fist
It will be bearing my name
And the ghost you desperately chase
It will be bearing my name
Now the bullet aimed at your head
It is bearing my name
Why would I owe you anything
When I owe it to one but I

One More Chance
04:00

You're so strong yet too blind to see
The mountains you lift
And push back daily
He checks all the levels
And handles the finance
But you're no rebel
And give him
His hundred and fifty third chance
Spread you arms and dance
While you still know how
Next time you give him a chance
Might be your last bow
Spread you wings and fly
While you still know how
Or next time you try
You might crash and die
After the storm the waters are still
You catch your breath
And against all will
He gives you just time
To forget you stance
Tell yourself you're fine
And give him
His hundred and fifty fourth chance
You're wearing invisible chains
Hands tied,
You really think he's gonna change
He's so confident
That you're not gonna flee
That he didn't even bother
Hiding the key
Oh run...
There's no hundred
And fifty fifth chance
No there's no hundred
No there's no hundred fifty fifth time

The King and the Hoe
03:34
|

If I wish for you to die
You'll just end up living longer
And if I let you see I cry
You'll lick my tears and get stronger
Starve the monster, starve the monster
From my woe feast no longer
But I, I am just the infant
The one who does not speak
But you said nothing about singing
And as a bird I tweet
Save the Father, save the Father
To his Hoe chained forever
In what kind of fairytales
Did you read the princess slays
Dragons, beasts who chose as prey
A fallen King or Prince of Fails
You suckle faith like bone marrow
But now that I'm gone
Whom do you feed yourself on ?
When I'm gone
Remains my song

Modesta

Hot summer breath
Blowing through the window
Black streak of hair
Like a snake on your shoulder
There's a bead of salted water
Like morning dew on a rose
I wish I could kiss it softly
So not to disrupt your pose
Modesta,
Let me rest my head
In the curve of your breast
Let me run my hand
On the hills of your land
Modesta
Fire in the chest
Burning through your lover
You're all I want to be
As a woman and a mother
I fear my heart will wake you up
Pounding like a drum in the war
Modesta,
Let me rest my head
In the curve of your breast
Let me run my hand
On the hills of your land
Modesta
Let me take your hand
And love you till we blend Modesta
