Smoke 04:33
Pallid grey, smoke in the rain I know you see the hole that’s in my heart Pallid grey, after the flames Build it all up, build it up Build it, watch it fall Build it all up, build it up Build it, watch it fall Build it all up, build it up Build it, watch it fall Be the crack in the wall Build it up, watch it fall Laying waste to yesterday Trying to see tomorrow in the dark I was late for the party Now I’m gonna steal the show Build it all up, build it up Build it, watch it fall Build it all up, build it up Build it, watch it fall Be the crack in the wall Burn the bridge, drop the ball Build it up, watch it fall

Orange 04:29
Shadowing the light, the orange rays Dulling impulse Like a dog In a chamber Following the paths we never lay On a short leash Like a dog Taking orders Orange ray, I bathe In your sweet light Forest, field and plain Free from night Swallowing the moon to ease the pain Like a dog Waiting for the night to turn to day In a small house Dulling impulse Like a dog Sweet light, in the sweet light Shadow in the night, shadow in the night Waiting for the flight, waiting for the flight Shadow in the night, shadow in the night Forest, field and plain

Uplift 04:18
All we are is all we’ll ever lose It’s not just in our words, but everything we do Although my love may not reach you where you are It grows inside forever Yesterday, my heart misunderstood How time’s a paradise for fools Every gift we get’s a gift we lose Love lives inside forever And everything we love is good ‘Cause love don’t follow timely rules To the light life goes, and what breaks through when we’re gone? All the love we give, it grows inside forever To live a new life like a boat on the river Sailing away like ashes on the water To live a new life like a boat on the river Sailing away like ashes on the water Everything we love is true ‘Cause everything that loves dies too To the light life goes, and what breaks through when we’re gone? To live a new life like a boat on the river Sailing away like ashes on the water

I put my heart on the line, wasn’t for some stupid guy It was my whole heart, 40-year-old heart My sometimes cold heart, but sometimes warm I drove the needles in, my body just a cushion To soften the part that surrounds my heart But I cannot lie, my heart hurt every time My mind’s not such a good friend When it tells me I will never win When it shows me pictures of the things That hurt the most, that make it sting Can someone change the channel please? I heard a stranger say online You can’t be cruising all the time When you’re stuck in traffic motionless Can someone give that stranger a kiss? I put my heart on the line, wasn’t for some stupid guy It was my whole heart, 40-year-old heart My sometimes cold heart It was my whole heart, 40-year-old heart My sometimes cold heart It was my whole heart, 40-year-old heart My sometimes cold heart But sometimes warm

Le monde est en feu Le monde est en feu J’ai pas d’Éden J’ai pas de dieu Le monde est en feu J’entends le ruisseau J’entends le ruisseau Dans mes veines Dans mes os J’entends le ruisseau Si nous sommes les agneaux Si nous sommes les agneaux Qui sont les loups? Qui sont les veaux? Si nous sommes les agneaux Le monde est en feu Le monde est en feu J’ai pas d’Éden J’ai pas de dieu Le monde est en feu Le monde est en feu

I left the East Coast hungry I left the East Coast blind My body was like an arrow Like it was triggered by my mind The wind picked up I said, “Can you carry me please?” And I held on tight I was lifted Lifted by the breeze When I hit the city tempted I hit the city dry The streets were long and narrow And the coast so far behind The wind changes direction Got me down on my knees Cause part of me is still hangin’ on the Nova Scotia breeze On the Nova Scotia breeze There is a season, season for runnin’ and breezin’ There is a season, season for growin’ and grievin’ There is a season, season for runnin’ and breezin’ Runnin’ and breezin’ Runnin’ and breezin’

If there was a way out You know we could find it, baby Find it maybe We could head on to the light If there was a way out You know we could find it, baby Find it maybe We would head on to the light There ain’t no way out All that came before The rainbows and lore Have deserted you Simple twist of fate That came way too late Has inverted you So you cling to the blue Summertime is here to stay You’ll never feel You’ll never feel the rain Sweltering, cracking Bones of yesterday form a haze Dust is rising Rising

Going Down 03:06
Everybody’s going down The higher you fly, the deeper you drown Easy come, so easy go Going down to the ground Some of us saved and some of us bound Play your cards, you fix the show In your heart Only you can know Only you can know If you have been dancing with a ghost ‘Cause you dance on and on and on and on and on Though the band is gone Dancing on and on and on and on and on A ghost’s a perfect partner Everybody’s going down Some of us saved and some of us bound Play your cards, you fix the show Going down to the ground The higher you fly, the deeper you drown Easy come, so easy go Everybody’s going down The higher you fly, the deeper you drown Easy come, so easy go Going down to the ground Some of us saved and some of us bound Play your cards, you fix the show

Tu peux pas 02:07
Tu peux pas tout prendre sur tes épaules Chacun passe ici y jouer son rôle Tu peux pas tout prendre sur tes épaules Yes, it’s gonna break your soul

Friends 03:44
Life is good it gave me friends The kind that last until you die Last until you die Last until you die Life is good it gave me friends The kind that last until you die Last until you die Try not to think about things Circumstance did not provide The children laughing in the yard The stage, the easy ride Why even think about things Life did so well to hide? A golden voice, a simple choice A path with no divide Life is kind it gave me friends The kind that last until you die Last until you die Last until you die The children laughing in the yard The stage, the easy ride Why even think about things Life did so well to hide? Life is good it gave me friends The kind that last until you die Last until you die Last until you die Life is good it gave me friends The kind that last until you die Last until you die Last until you die

Feu follet 03:54
Bois ce qui reste de la rivière Avale tout son eau Brûle les feuilles frappe les deux pierres Fumée de signaux Tu ne voulais que vivre Tu ne voulais que vivre Une forêt Flottait Un paradis sur l’eau Je ne fais que survivre Je ne fais que survivre Un feu follet Me disait Que le temps s’avalait Bois ce qui reste de la rivière Avale tout son eau Brûle les feuilles frappe les deux pierres Fumée de signaux Il ne reste qu’à rire Il ne reste qu’à rire Une forêt Flottait Un paradis sur l’eau Il ne reste qu’à vivre Il ne reste qu’à vivre Un feu follet Me disait Que le temps s’avalait Perles de lumière Qui glissent sur ma peau Fantôme et matière Saint-Elme et matelot Exaucez ma prière De la pierre coulera l’eau Exaucez ma prière Et de la pierre coulera l’eau

Back to the beginning of the way you’re meant to be Things you only see when you’re lost inside a dream Back to the beginning of the way you’re meant to be Things you only see when you’re lost inside a dream Back to the beginning of the way you’re meant to be Things you only see when you’re lost inside a dream Back to the beginning of the way you’re meant to be Things you only see when you’re lost inside a dream Of a dream
