The Prince

Take me into another land
I'm drowning in this tidal mental head
When I'm looking too far away
I cannot see what is right here,
I keep stumbling along the way.
Ah ah ah oh oh oh oh
Reveries take me so high
I don't have a place to hide
Ah ah ah oh oh oh
Can somebody see those lights?
Guess I'm not the only one
So I keep going round and round
I wonder where I've lost my crown
I need to rest upon my throne
I'm tired of following rainbows
through the way I've broken all my bones
Ah ah ah oh oh oh
Reveries take me so high
So I don't have a place to hide
Ah ah ah oh oh oh
Can somebody see those lights?
I bet I'm not the only one
Now it's time to open eyes
To this reality that I am in
Now it's time to be the dream I have
It's time to get what I expect
Ah ah ah oh oh oh
Reveries take me so high
So I don't have a place to hide
Ah ah ah oh oh oh
Now I know it's time to fight,
Guess I have to move right now

Cotton

If I stop for a while
Nothing changes outside
Would you notice the difference
Between what I was yesterday and what I'm now?
At times I feel like I'm nothing more than flesh
And I feel the heaviness
Of being human and limited
Then I wish I could run naked in the street
Oh, oh, oh.
I picked up a cotton thread
In an empty corridor
When I tried to change its shape
I knew that its essence would stay the same
At times I feel like I'm nothing more than flesh
And I feel the heaviness
Of being human and limited
Then I wish I could run naked in the street.
I'm toasting a marshmallow
It's so sweet and I'm so callow
I wish I could change my flavor
Without changing myself without being someone else
At times I feel nothing more than flesh
And I feel the heaviness
Of being human and limited
At times I feel nothing more than flesh
And I feel the heaviness
Of being human and limited
Then I wish I could run naked in the street
Oh, oh, oh

I Need Air
03:39
|
|||
This feeling of uncertainty
seems to fill up everything
gonna expand till there's no air to breathe
I've been going solo for so long
I'm walking alone and it's so cold
I need air but there's no space
Something went wrong in me
and now I'm scared by everything
I don't know how to get out
don't know how to get away
This sense of misunderstanding
makes me unable to talk with myself
and maybe that's the worst thing that I've done
I'm almost faded and can't see the light
and so tired, I'm unable to fight
I need air but there's no space
Something went wrong in me
and now I'm scared by everything
I don't know how to get out
don't know how to get away
I'm running, I'm fighting
just to keep myself alive
I'm running, just running
trying to reach something someone somehow
I'm running, I'm yelling
just to let someone hear me
I'm crying while I'm smiling
'cause I just want to be free (now).
I've been getting nowhere for so long
I need air but there's no space
Something went wrong in me
and now I'm scared by everything
I don't know how to get out
don't know how to get away

Risia (You Are So Sweet)
03:02
|

Risia, you are so sweet,
oh, I love you so much.
Risia, you are so sweet,
when you blink your eyes.
Risia, you are so sweet,
when you mispronounce the words you say.
Risia, you are so sweet,
would you be my friend?
Hug me, oh, hug me.
Cuddle me and caress me.
Make me smile, psychoanalyse me.
Do it, and I'll do it for you in return.
Risia, you are so sweet,
when you try to sing but don't succeed
I love it when you grin
and the way you feel free.
Oh, you are so sweet,
even when you drive me mad
'cause you are so sweet,
can I be your friend?
Hug me, oh, hug me.
Cuddle me and caress me.
Make me smile, psychoanalyse me.
Do it, and I'll do it for you in return.
Will you try to understand me?
Relieve me and make me happy?
If you need me to help thee
be sure that I'll be there to save your ass.

Realise
05:22
|

Now I realise my past is not here
Even if I lived it, even if I saw it.
I'm asking myself what I've done wrong
I'm wondering what I can do to erase it.
Now I feel so cold looking outside
Because I've tried the best I could, but it seems useless
I've been waiting for so long and
Now I'm ready to change my lot
'cause I've noticed, I've noticed
I need more
I need more
I need more
Do you feel the same? Are you happy today?
I see you so far but I'd want you right here.
The fear all around is beating you down
Oh... what can I do to save you?
But sometimes my rage comes out 'cause you've left me here
And I am alone now but I'll get trough somehow
I've been waiting for so long and
I'm ready to change my lot
'cause I've noticed, I've noticed
I need more
I need more
I need more
I've been waiting for so long
and now I'm eady to change my lot

I've been waiting here alone for the whole day
The air is cold and my hands are dry
I heard a song that reminds me that he's gone away
Away away away away away
I just would go outside
Under these grey clouds
All I wish tonight
Is to have no doubts
'cause everyday is passing me by
And when I wake sometimes I don't know why
'cause everyday is always the same
Today has been just another bad day
I'm trying to but I can't appease my rage
My hood is already soaking wet
Heavy rain is falling, I just sit and wait
I wait I wait I wait I wait I wait
So now it's raining on me
But I don't want to move
I just want to sit here
Till I've got flu
'cause everyday is passing me by
and when I wake sometimes I don't know why
'cause everyday is always the same
Today has been just another bad day
All the raindrops on me are going to dry someday
I am going to miss them as I miss his face
And every time I hurt I'm going to miss that too
'cause every pain I feel teaches me something new
