Pictures 03:00
Little versions of ourselves Trapped in space and in time Snippets from a treasured past That hardly left a trace You were smiling big and strong On every photographs We took pictures as we laughed Now everything seems wrong And time goes by Heals our pain and worries And all that remains Is pictures and hazy memories Little portion of your face Forever on paper Lips and teeth stuck in place This smile was my sister's Hold on to this Piece of yourself Before it fades Away Time goes by Heals our pain and worries But will never erase Your old self from our memories Time goes by Heals our pain deeper and deeper But will never erase Your smile on the picture

Shame on you 03:07
A phone call in the dead of the night I wake up groggy I hear voices and I follow the light But only darkness awaits me Tears fall from four pairs of eyes It makes hate knock at our door Someone's barking on the other side The same thing in a loop Shame on you Shame on you There are a lot of things I'd like to forget about that night The shadows on the ceiling The yelling and the fright Cause I keep hearing the barks Shame on me but for what? For loving him, for loving her? For loving my sister? Cause I keep hearing your barks And for one thing you were right Shame on me Shame on me For believing you were nice For not seeing the hatred in your eyes Not knowing you would tear us apart Shame on me for thinking you were worth her sacrifice

Here it was In the old bedroom By the window Where the sun poured down And here I was My five year-old self Drawn to this Such unusual shelf I would sit And open it And this very moment Was my favourite For hours I would watch them shine Display their colours In the evening glow And you let me Be in my own bubble Cause with you There never was trouble Then I grew up And you went away I never knew Where it was until today It was my favourite childhood game And it all remained the same Except that I don't hear you talk And I now own your button box I now own the button box

Your little life is as blank As this piece of paper Keep your eyes closed and sleep tight You'll have time to wonder About the shapes and the smells Everything that surrounds you Don't rush it now, take your time Just breathe Touch Look Cry Smile And scribble down on the pages of your book But leave some lines for me Your little life is as blank As this path full of snow Flakes move and dance Twirl around in a beautiful show Look up the sky, let them fall In a spotless cover Don't crush it now, take your time Just breathe Walk Run Fall Learn And scribble down on the pages of your book But leave some lines Please leave some lines Just leave some lines For me

How can someone I knew so well Become someone that I don't recognize anymore? I bet you never could have tell That someday you'd let him throw them out the door I never said goodbye To the girl I used to know But I hope she'll come back So I'm gonna say hello How can someone we knew so well Become someone that we don't recognize anymore? I bet you never could have tell That someday you'd leave us crying on the floor We never said goodbye To the girl we used to know But we hope she'll come back So we're gonna say hello We're far but we'll always be there Sisters, dad and mom So if you don't know where you're going Just remember where you come from We never said goodbye To the girl we used to know But we hope she'll come back So we're gonna say hello We never said goodbye To the girl we used to know But we hope you'll come back So we're gonna say hello

Wooden cubes on the floor Trying to build the Eiffel Tower A funny house and cars and train Where cats and monsters become friends In a small and cold living room Somewhere down under But who cares where we were When we were together Playing all day long with you Singing lullabies sweet and mellow I'm sorry that I lied to you When I said “See you tomorrow” We gathered up the wooden cubes In utter consternation And put them out with the cars and train Together with our expectations There was no playing with you Nothing more to sing sweet or mellow But someday in a year or two We will have our tomorrow

November 03:52
Rough is the water Dark and cold, I sink deeper I lost track of the numbers In my head all seems to blur They said if you fall overboard Keep counting till you reach the shore But I feel my lungs no more As I am pushed to the floor They put me on a boat And I clung to her petticoat And I heard tales of freedom As we sailed in the unknown Still is my body Keep hiding, my mind tells me I am scared and so lonely Please someone come rescue me They put me on a red seat And I listened to the music And I heard rock'n'roll songs As we danced and sang along I wish I could tell you That none of these stories are true Cause who in his right state of mind Would want to kill a little child? Sad world we live in Where love is a sin Mad world we live in Where life is a sin Life is a sin

The plane took off We're heading home Where do we go from here? The storm has passed We're not alone Where do we go from here? Happy new year A thousand times Where do we go from here? Up in the sky But down to earth Where do we go from here?

De l'autre côté de la Terre Tu t'endors Tu fermes tes paupières À l'autre bout du monde Je me réveille Je me lève Y'a du soleil à Paris Et je pense à toi ma jolie Demiana Fais de beaux rêves Cette nuit À l'autre bout de la planète Tu t'éveilles Tes jolis yeux s'émerveillent À plus de 15 000 kilomètres de toi Je m'endors Je rêve Il fait nuit à Paris Et je pense à toi ma jolie Demiana Amuse-toi bien Aujourd'hui
