You, cloud
05:08
|

So glad you sum
taste I’m in you
you, cloud
I delay your white flow
dwell in the rain
First I was scared
when you ate me
you, cloud
All the towns I saw below
They seemed so vain
So glad to drift
all my drops in
you, cloud
decompose in few pearls
a necklace default
No one knows the way you are
changing but always yourself
Not a word to call you out
but a whole storming poem
I glass the sun
so it can’t burn
you, cloud
long life to your teardrops
they feed the dust

Neither a moon
03:12
|
|||
Not a close verb
Not a known word
Not the care of a gesture
Not a shadow for raw eyes
Not a shield for wide open ribs
Not a silence for exhausted lips
Not a sun for some pale vertebrae
Neither a moon for a day
which died too soon

Just take me to
03:09
|

Three steps ahead
you need to take them
two steps around her
maybe you'll find her
it's a long way to get you there
you just miss it
it's a long way to get you there
you maybe will tell you the truth
three steps ahead
in my head
two steps around her
maybe you'll find her
maybe it's the wrong time
maybe it's the right
you will never know it for sure
unless you’ve a magic by sight
it's a long way to get you there
you just miss it
it's a long way to get you there
you maybe will tell you the truth
it's a long way to get you there
you just miss it
it's a long way to play your game
you just have me to take
you’re weak and cheap
it’s a wasting note
just take me to

A millionaire tree
03:20
|
|||
Come back time
you look grey
tease me as I lay unseen
I’m in love
Leave me through her bones, I pray
I’ll be lost
with all I have
I’ve been what I saw
blooming seeds on top of the sea
now reach my lost head
branching out as a millionaire tree
curve a line
draw her eyes
so she sees
|

You wake up and you're so glad
I wake up and I'm so sad to wake up
to wake up
You grow up and you're so glad
I grow up and I'm so sad to grow up
to grow up
strings ride along the firefog
to cook well a swinging raw doll
she sings quarters of her woolthoughts
to fulfill the empty bottle
she is the battle
of the happy claustorms
leave her free
to build a three-doll
with two pieces of a creepcold
she is the battle
of the happy claustorms
leave her free
to build a three-doll
it will warm your santa's nights
let it start, make it bright

Remember the future
02:44
|
|||
Don't try to remember the future
nor your paleness in its distant colors
don't listen to its lament today
'cause its cold bare melancholy
is still so far to come
Don't try to remember the future
nor your paleness in its distant colors
don’t try to listen to its lament today
'cause its cold bare melancholy
is still so far to come
Don’t try, don’t try
don’t try to remember

I'm not a place
03:56
|
|||
I’m not a place
you’ve come into this way
off your nation
and so distressed
I’m not a place
you come to release
your poetry and your scent
your mainspring
Down in my streets
we played planting seeds
the trees in my gardens
no roots and no feet
from windows the oceans
repeat my deceit
two eyes as an epic tale
so wide and so deep
You took the mansion
5 floors indeed
3 turns of the keys
32 teeth to wash to be clean and then sleep
I’m not a place
you just came along
through my background
and straight to the core
left the walls like a broken trinket
Days like rainbows
to melt my complaint
they show me their back now
so grey in the ashtray
from windows the oceans
repeat my deceit
two eyes as an epic tale
so wide and so deep
Down in my streets
we played planting seeds
the trees in my gardens
no roots and no feet
from windows the oceans
repeat my deceit
two eyes as an epic tale
so wide and so deep

Fall
03:36
|

Fall,
your blunder is your clue
I know
Fall,
the right way to call your name
your wounds don’t lie
that is just the same for me

Known
01:14
|
|||
Thousands the years
waiting for your hands
Known
My back away
from pebbles and caves
So strong the light
I bare over mine
Known
