Hopes And Downs
02:16
|
|||
I lost hope I know, yeah I've been down
I've been chasing all the ways to find an inch of it in every stand
I needed to, If there's none why would I bother caring for more than what's mine?
Just a crutch I know, cracked all along
'Cause a selfish fertile ground is tough to break apart if there's no point
So I've been down, finding out I was wrong
I lost the fuel I thought I needed to fight
But there's no hope right now, the one I had
Mislead all along, I thought we had a shot at tearing it down
The world we live in won't go away
Choking off our hopes of seeing it break
I feel let down right now, hope let me down
The violence all around keeps on crushing the least ambition
There's no bailing out, there's no giving up
The path hasn't changed but the fuel has now

I think I missed the paper, I missed the pen
missed being forced to sort the mess that's in my head
Cause I play well taught, I get a few ears
It's always easier to stick to the big picture
I ride along, I run alone
Ahead of my thoughts I forget to settle down
It's never been about some kind of art
It's always been a breath to catch up with my mind
Cause being social, being driven, is a way to dig in what you know not what you feel
If I lost balance, if I lost purpose, maybe it's because I failed to see the point of this.
I'll ride among, I'll run along
An end to it or more pillars to carry on

The Ridge Gets Thinner
03:14
|

We are walking on air, sure!
We're walking ahead with a smile on our face
But how can we keep up?
Stand up with what they are throwing at us?
Cause I never feel safe
Cause I never feel comfortable
So we all, we try to keep balance on the edge
We are together alone
Then we all, we try to keep balance on the edge
We are together alone
And if I cannot keep up
How 'bout those who struggle in ways I ignore
My hell's their paradise
But we share a fight against the world outside
All we want's feeling safe
All we want's feeling comfortable
No matter how hard we try, how hard we fight
The world outside keeps on coming back, on testing our balance
Cause there will always be cops, always be nazis
People eager to show us that the world we crave is out of reach for now
And we all, we try to keep balance on the edge
We are together alone
So we all fall down sometimes
We pick each other up, we help one another, restore the balance
In a word we care

Should I? Should Have.
03:26
|

Maybe I'll wake up
from this tiring race against sleep in ten years realizing,
that I'm now old
Not sure I'll be glad that I lived until this point without asking a few questions, or if I'll be devastated, too late to get acquainted with the notions of future and compromise.
Will I wash away the mistakes of my youth?
Or will I build a world on them?
I won't give up the basing of my decisions on as much of a choice as possible
But I struggle, I am torn between the world and my own will
A fear of commitment and being let down
Cause it's not about, not growing up, it's about how future should not be giving up
Will I wash away the mistakes of my youth?
Or will I build a world on them?
Maybe I've wasted my young years
Or will I build a world on them
All I want is no end
To me feeling uncertain

The Treason Of The Couch
03:05
|
|||
Some had enough to seize the day
Some had enough to make a fight of every hobby every plan
Why can't we be some at a point?
Why can't we just get along
Stoping? Or moving on?
Is feeling content failure or deafening their world
I won't have enough to make a change
I won't have enough to work and at least try to get better every day
But improvement's them talking the talk
Out of reach so we can't settle down
Stoping? Or moving on?
Is feeling content failure or deafening their world
I'll embrace my wins, then get back to learning
At ease with the pain of questioning
Maybe for some it's something you can't reach
Never at peace

A Reasonnable Bully
04:21
|
|||
Have I really experienced pain in any way?
Cause I feel I've been spared
I fear life hasn't dig enough in me and left any caves to fill with emotions
I fear I'm blank and dull
I fear I use reason to cover for emotions
What is natural to me can be a threat to others
What I feel is shallow about me can seem an asset to others
How much colder, how much distanced can I ever get?
I explain, I debate, "We should refocus"
What I use to sort this shit out to keep moving forward can be as much of a lie to myself than disdain to others
I fear I use reason to enforce domination
(Cause) as far as I know
Reason's the easiest to handle
(Cause) as far as I know
Emotion's harder to let go
What is natural to me can be a threat to others
What I feel is shallow about me can seem an asset to others
I won't stop my reason
I can't stop my reason
But I'll use it carefully
No judging, no hiding

Sometimes I can't deal with the likes of you
Sometimes I can't put on a happy face with you
I sure would like to run away and stop pretending that even I am not hurt
I might prove you wrong
But I lost the will, I lost some strength, I know I should
I won't apologize for losing it
But once you gone I might to those who truly ache from your everlasting shit
And what you take part in carrying on.
I can't help myself
There's something in you
That triggers immediate reaction

Yes I cried a lot.
Sick of them making you feel sick of yourself, myself for not helping enough, for not making them feel worse
When will sickness end?
But who cares I knew?
It's now blowing up in everyone's faces
And my pain will never approach theirs.
All hail the end of compromise
How can I use my words to show you the best of what's left
Now you know!
Staying blind is a choice, and a bad one
'Cause it's everywhere, it's everyone!
How can you be so good that you're not part of the problem?
The first realization to be able to claim a part of the solution
'Cause we all have our share.
All hail the end of compromise
How can I use my words to build something else for those next
I'm gonna do my best to be something more than just safe
I'm gonna be the worst to those who fight what comes next
I'm gonna use myself to show you the best of what's left
Let's listen, shut up, and learn by ourselves
Never let anything slip
Let's be a bad friend, the fun police
And do it all over again, 'cause we don't know shit.

From Safety To Boredom
04:59
|
|||
Everything's a bore, everything is ending where it ought to be.
Where's surprise gone?
Where's passion gone?
How did “whatever” become a common answer?
It's been a long time since I was knocked out by a show
It's been a long time since I sang my heart out to the same song day and night
It's been a long time everything
Is safety the source or a small counterweight to half-hearted melodies
What if I went searching for more outburst?
What if I don't settle for more quiet?
Death to rehashed! Death to repressed!
But everything's around, everything's within the reach of my hand
Nothing's dead and gone!
Nothing lies among the shots I don't take but the certainty of sleeping with regrets
What if by preventing the lower downs I killed the higher ups?
What if by being cautious a cold reason had numbed the burn of passion?

Faults, Faults, Faults
04:47
|
|||
So what I lost hope? I felt like the only one, dumb enough for a bit of optimism.
Yeah I lost hope when caring's on again
But dumb enough, I keep digging the same ground.
Cause lost or not, gotta be going on
Our state of mind won't stop the world around
Even if hope’s a dated motive today, what is right feels sufficient enough
We'll build our walls, maybe not high enough
Violence is usually getting its own ways
We'll build our walls not to be safe alone
But to make everyone to feel safer in our faults
Fault by fault, wall by wall
We keep each other safe from the violence all around
And we'll bring more and more to do the same
The only way I can be at ease with me
I may sound like hope I know, but it's a fail
The mere acceptance that, the whole is lost and we're left with the few
Maybe a white lie, maybe a selfish way to go on by putting meaning over faith
Because fuck hope right now, we'll carry on
We'll keep on digging our small faults
