Searching For Beauty
02:34

I realize
I’m just searching for beauty
Everywhere
Beauty everywhere
I’ve been lost in the past
Searching for beauty
I didn’t know
It was inside of me
Stop asking why
Just make it real
It’s in ourselves
Beauty everywhere
We’re looking for a theme
What a waste of time
There’s no theme in life
Yet life is beautiful
Beautiful anyway
Beautiful anyway
Beauty everywhere
Beauty everywhere
Writing about death
To pretend that I’m strong
I’m the weakest on earth
‘Cos I’m searching for beauty
I can’t write about love
Maybe on the next record
If love is beautiful
Of course it’s beautiful
Beautiful anyway
Beautiful anyway
Beauty everywhere
Beauty everywhere

A Real Story
03:42

It’s hard to see where I’m going
When there’s only one of two that loves the other
My brain knows we’re going nowhere
But my heart won’t believe it
How long will I wait
For a real story
How long will I stand
Just feeling sorry for myself
I’ve done all that I can
It’s not enough
I’m not the guy for you
I’m not bad enough
I lied to myself for so long now
It’s time to move on, it’s time to free us from the others
I never had a chance I didn’t know that
Now I don’t have any doubts, it’s better this way
How long will I wait
For a real story
How long will I stand
Just feeling sorry for myself
I’ve done all that I can
It’s not enough
I’m not the guy for you
I’m not bad enough
I’ve done all that I can
It’s not enough
I’m not the guy for you
I’m not bad enough

Keep The Engine Running
03:53

Start the engine
Keep it running
You’re not even there yet
And you need to leave
The only way you found
To feel slightly alive
Is not an easy way
There is no easy way
Motion
Leads to emotion
Keep on moving
Keep on feeling
Keep on moving
Keep on feeling
On the rocky road
You lose control
You need to feel shaky
Take a look at the sea
We’re losing ground
I'm starting to drown
Throw me the hanging rope
This is my last hope
You understand
Desperate men
There’s nothing rational
If you can’t find a goal
Years have passed
And nothing lasts
Keep the engine running
The landscape is scrolling
Motion
Leads to emotion
Keep on moving
Keep on feeling
Keep on moving
Keep on feeling

Forever Neverland
03:22
|

There’s a stone in my name
Lead turns into gold in my brain
The key on my arm
Lets you open my heart
A toi de voir
It’s up to you now
Whoever you are
That’s what my idol said
He carved it in my flesh
Long live the grief
Fuck oblivion
The dog is still walking
On the happy line
The feathers on my skin
Are making me fly
Again
Again
Forever Neverland
Becoming Peter Pan
Again
Forever Neverland
Becoming Peter Pan
Again
Failure doesn’t scare me
I’m giving everything I have
At ease behind the windshield
Driving anywhere
Again
Forever Neverland
Becoming Peter Pan
Again
Forever Neverland
Becoming Peter Pan
Again

Half Full Gas Tank
04:20
|
|||
|
Rusty body and worn out tires
I think it’s time to go further
You only need a CD player
Open your ears and play it louder
Dirty windshield and helpless driver
Close the doors and ride for hours
Open your eyes, the road is ours
See the darkness it’s never been brighter
What would you do with a half full gas tank?
Keep it in case someone needs it?
Or use it until the engine stops ?
You should use it till the last drop
What would you do with a half full gas tank?
Keep it in case someone needs it?
Or use it until the engine stops ?
You should use it till the last drop
You can empty your tank on the ground
Set it on fire and turn around
It will at least warm up your skin
I hope it won’t blow up your chin
You always try to do it the right way
But nobody cares if you go or stay
You can go far if you go slow
Go fast if you already know
No matter if I lose
No matter if I can’t live it again
No matter if it’s the end
What would you do with a half full gas tank?
Keep it in case someone needs it?
Or use it until the engine stops ?
You should use it till the last drop
Half Full Gas Tank
What would you do with a half full gas tank?
Keep it in case someone needs it?
Or use it until the engine stops ?
You should use it till the last drop

Life Is A Shark
03:20
|
|||
|
I fought myself all my life
To go forward despite being shy
I don’t have many friends
But they’re gold in my hands
I am not a people person
But I still love every one
I’m not good at showing it
And you may think I’m saying shit
I’m not just my father’s son
And I’m not trying to be someone
Someone told me « life is a shark »
But there are no sharks in the clouds
I live far above the dark
I will never go back down
I forced myself to stay alive
‘Cos I’m not brave enough to die
All that I can write in the sand
Is the name of a fake band
Will I ever stop the con ?
A lot’s been said, nothing’s been done
Now I can’t get back in the sea
I know the shark’s waiting for me
Nobody has ever come
On this freaky land I’m living on
Someone told me « life is a shark »
But there are no sharks in the clouds
I live far above the dark
I will never go back down

Missing Keys
04:14

Spine
Heart
Start
Line
Plans
Pack
Map
Hands
Knees
Beard
Here
Keys
Strong spine
Heavy heart
New start
On the line
No plans
Backpack
No map
In my hands
Weak knees
Messy beard
Still here
Missing keys
I need a strong spine
For my heavy heart
I’m on a new start
Walking on the line
I’ve got no plans
No backpack
I’ve got no maps
Drawn in my hands
I locked my weak knees
Shaved my messy beard
You’re still here
For the missing keys

Ruins
03:35
|
|||
|
We’re walking on ruins
Escorted by a ghost
A chapel on the cliff
Two pillars and a wall
The doors open forever
Welcoming the lost souls
Letting the wind flows
Sixty-four yards above the sea
We pray for the sun to come
The grass is growing around
Invading the leftovers
Making the stones disappear
We’re walking on ruins
No need to rebuild
Another storm’s coming
To tear down everything
We’re walking on ruins
No need to rebuild
They said drop cliffs not bombs
But the war doesn’t care
If you can’t walk alone
Go there with someone who dares
Your bones still carry you
So you will carry on
The senseless things you do
Will just go on and on
We’re walking on ruins
No need to rebuild
Another storm’s coming
To tear down everything
We’re walking on ruins
No need to rebuild
We’re walking on ruins
We’re walking on ruins
No need to rebuild

The Treasure
04:15
|

Yes I’ve been searching
But the treasure
The treasure
Is in the way you take
What if we stop scrolling
The stories of others
The others
Shouldn’t be just a screen
Give them a shovel
To dig into the sand
The sand
Is covering everything
The desert is bigger
And the treasure
The treasure
Is not even in there
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
A sandstorm is coming
To fill your house
Your house
Is just a golden cage
No oil and no gold
In the desert
The desert
Is only specks of dust
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
The sand is covering everything
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
The treasure is not something you own
It’s just a feeling in our soul
The treasure is not something you own
No, It’s a feeling in our soul

The Golden Thread
03:11

I hate sadness as much as I love it
I owe everything I’ve done to despair
Serving melancholy and uselessness
I tried to put some positive lines in these songs
It was the hardest thing for me to do
It felt like I was lying all along
Singing fake stories to entertain some friends
But I’ll try to carry on
My mood is not even related to the current crisis
I would probably be at the same place at the same time without it
At the same state of sadness, it only depends on me
I guess I could be happy if I wanted to
But now I don’t even know if all of it is worth it
I will only follow the things that I’m attracted to
I’m attracted to
The doors, the fears, the rolling beds
The core, the ears, the burning heads
The road, the hills, the golden thread
And all the dreams are just a shade
The hopes, the tears are turning red
For all the teams that you once led
