Do you sleep at night ?
I sleep pretty well.
And the nightmares ?
Well, they come and go...
Do you sleep at night ?
I sleep pretty well.
And the nightmares ?
Well, they come and go,
It's a melody only you can tell.
But do you like it here ?
Is it ours to share,
This bed and dreams ?
I don't know yet
Are we the ugly ones or a handsome pair ?
What about the love ?
Have you found it yet ?
I'm still looking for
Just the things I like,
Like sour patches or turtlenecks
It will come my dear,
Oh don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid,
I only close my eyes so I can feel the tears
Running down my neck
I know I like the wind
Coming through the windows.
Even though everytime I sneeze
Even closed ?
And the things of life ?
I've got so much questions about that.
I wonder about equality, and the right to be wrong,
And the fallen leaves, and the planes, and dying.
And silly love songs...
But then why do you ask about all those things if you don't have any answers ?
It's too much and it all goes too fast to the point where sometimes my vision blurrs just like when you're in a car and you try to count the trees on the side of the road ?
Could it be a dream (?)
Wait, was that you or me ?
Sometimes I have a really hard time figuring out where you start and where I end. When you're not here, you're everywhere.
Do you know how it feels to be alone ? And to have so much on your mind that when you close your eyes your eyelids seem to be on fire ? And even the tears can't put it down. Not that they stay here anyway.
Do you ever get lonely ? Like the sun on a summer's day. Like the last feel of summer breeze you'll ever feel.
What does it take to feel at ease ? Is it a goodnight in bed ? Or a kiss on the cheek ? Or a good song stuck in your head ?
Are you there ?
Well

I'm growing tired of dark old days
I'll never need it anymore
Give me one more I'll find a way
I wanna lose my mind
I wanna lose my money
I wanna lose myself
I like the taste and I like the swell
And I love the feeling
Oh it's killing me so well
An overrated flame
My distant body
And a fragile brain
Stay awake
We never get tired we never get bored
Of our lungs
Going on
Louder
Stay awake
We never get tired we never get bored
And our brains
Keep flying
Higher
Stay awake
We never get tired we never get bored
And our brains
Keep flying
Higher
Guess I wondered where I wanted to be
I'd have done almost anything just to feel free
You take your chance and before anyone knows
You find your pride emprisoned in your shadows
Just a few more hours beneath those lights
I need a crowded place
I have my own demons to fight
Stay awake
Help me
I felt too much I fell too hard
I wanna be happy
Stay away
I felt too much I fell too hard
I wanna be happy
Stay away
We never get tired we never get bored
Of our lungs
Going on
Louder
Stay away
We never get tired we never get bored
And our brains
Keep flying
Higher
I can't breathe
I can't bear the pain
I can't breathe
It's all inside my head
I can't breathe
I can't bear the pain
I can't breathe
It's all inside my head
Stay away
We never get tired we never get bored
Of our lungs
Going on
Louder
Stay away
Do you ever get tired do you ever get bored
Of our brains
That keep burning
Brighter
Stay away
Do you ever get tired do you ever get bored
Of our brains
That keep burning
Brighter
Stay awake
Don't you ever get tired don't you ever get bored
But our brains
Keep burning

Gold, blushing sky, sun setting down
Stars fading in, away from town
Let's lie down the hills among the clovers
As summer puts on its evening gown
Words, left untold, waves unfolding
A splash of night, friends and kins
Do you ever get the feeling that
The sun is crawling right under your skin ?
We've got it all made out
Heavy weather in the twilight
Rascals on the holdout
Better sorry than alright
Shouts, crazy dreams, resounding on the sea
Open your eyes, run with me.
The moon is casting just enough light to
Wander by the shadow of the trees
Dawn, eye to eye, and tears to tears
Our nights for days, and cheers for fears,
It takes some time for eyes that meet the dark
To recognize the shapes that might appear
We've got it all made out
Heavy weather in the twilight
Rascals on the holdout
Better sorry than alright
We've got it all made out
Heavy weather in the twilight
Rascals on the holdout
Better sorry than alright
We leave the city lights for some distant ones.
To our side, the blurring vision of a beat-up van ;
As the buildings go by to catch a fleeing reflection
Of lost ones, love, loud laughs and hopeless action.
Somewhere outside in the open south,
Dog days season and overt laughs.
Where the landlord is gone and the vines are divine,
Late night drive and cherry wine.
A Landscape in setting,
To our side, always evolving.
The moving hills and tranquil sea both bathe our minds with a simple revelation :
That they’ll never stop us from choosing life over reason.
We’re going back to the good life.
They say that we’re not old enough to know what is wrong but feels right
That we should put mind over bodies, and that nobody’s free.
But where patience is a vertue, freedom is a fight.
It’s like a long way home, the reckless youth syndrome,
To think that the night heals all wounds like a discreet magician.
And to lose our voices, and our lungs.
Like an ode to the things we like the most,
Our sold out sunset on a ride to the coast.

El Monstruo

Some quirky pretty eyes,
One eyebrow falls , one rise,
Here comes the silent question.
No need to be upset,
Just let me do the rest
Of the talking I know that it's hard
Yet you are the monster and I am the bard.
You've got a curious look,
Are you a jester or a crook ?
Swinging from scream to laugh,
Like a broken phonograph.
Searching, Stretching (I won't let)
The smallest gap from freak to clown (You down)
That's a rather peculiar attitude (I can't)
Is it a smile or a frown on your face ? (We're bound)
So many questions in so many shapes
It's alright
You're on my bed, on my mind, on my shelves,
In my head all the time.
It's a nightmare.
Yes, it's true we get along
And our love has grown quite strong
And, although you look quite scary,
You're always there beside me
But you're quite an introvert,
shady plotter or silent flirt ?
So many words left to speak
What kind of secret do you keep ?
Ambiguous from head to toe,
Easy come and easy go.
Searching, Stretching (I won't let)
The smallest gap from freak to clown (You down)
That's a rather peculiar attitude (I can't)
Is it a smile or a frown on your face ? (We're bound)
That I see.
It's alright, you're a friend.
