I can be sweet and be devoted but I won’t I can be caring and inspiring but I won’t I can be neat and tidy, loving but I won't I can be glossy, maybe flossy but I don't You expect me to be as patient as elegant The relevance of my benevolence is evident You think if you can keep it as eloquent There’s a chance I’ll agree all this is my element I can tell by the look in your eyes You're lapping up every word I say, wait no no no I can feel your attention arise Actually my neighbour’s chest is a bit more, more, more I could drown myself in celebrity Or in a bottle of Chardonay We could have seen me on TV But I forgot to be pretty I should have taken pictures of kittens and me I should have posted photos of my meals at the beach on FB If I knew that was the kind of talent we’re seeking today I would have learned to point my ass before playing music My words may not seem to be politically correct Sorry but I feel like I am getting sick to death I don’t think that I’m born to be A role model in society I prefer to eat my fill, Smile from ear to ear with something between my teeth Please make no mistake about it I understand but just disagree You'll never see me on a magazine At least I still know who I am when I go to sleep

It’s been a while We didn’t see each other I don’t know why We just got away hour by hour Friendship was The apple of our eyes We spent nights Writing our future lives Can’t even imagine What our past selves would say Seeing us separate ways What remains Is that photograph on the wall We build a fence between us And our teenage dreams keep having a fall We were young Living one day at a time To be blunt We often crossed the line I’ve lost my carefreeness You are losing yourself I won’t be The one who’ll set you free

Perfect liar 03:44
Lost traveller You don’t belong here You’re stranded on earth With hope and your sweet dreams You thought you found out A way to feel free But as people flout Every fool such a red flea You hide yourself from the world You’re a perfect liar, an actor But you are falling apart What’s behind the mask is so drab Lone traveller You are wandering, crawling Try to be taller To get some stars you go all-in Give a hint of a smile Bury what’s on your mind You’re the passenger of a living lie You’re the speaker of an empty crowd And you say one day you’ll find a place where you belong The place you can call « home » What I see in your eyes is a broken heart A gaping wound that you can’t hide with a lie

I Zombie 03:27
I’m a soldier of a starving pack I’m the monster, hiding, wandering in the dark Hunger master, a bit stark I’m the beast waiting for its feast I’m the reaper, bitter, giving you a kiss A flesh-lover, warm your blood for me, yeah for me Don’t let me know you can make mistakes Once you do, you’ll never be safe And I can feel it Walking corpse who has been cursed Of what you have to face in chaos, I'm the worst Can you feel my teeth, I’m divin’ into your body headfirst Don’t let me know you can make mistakes Once you do, you’ll never be safe I’m dreaming of a hook in your hand Once I do, you’ll never be the same Can you feel it ?
