todclaret Like quicksand, this album gently and subtly draws you in and before you know it, you are immersed and just can't escape.

Don’t know if you’re dead Don’t know what you do Do you have a head Where are you heading too You seemed ok looking so straight In front of you close to this bank Did you directly stare at us That was the last time we saw you Have a head And are you dead Don’t know what to do Don’t know what you do Everybody is raging now Where was your mother hanging out Is it your daddy that you miss Is he a monster Is it you Have a head Are you dead I don’t know what to do Let’s pretend it’s only us Let me ask you those questions Do you still tell stories And I guess it’s hard to live Do you think they’re better now Do you drink your coffee now Do you tell your stories Did losing face in front of all pushed you too far You had to take control You took the dogs Did losing face in front of all pushed you too far You had to take control You took the dogs And the world is raging now Only you hold the key now The only guardian of verity Tell yourself your stories And I’m sure it’s hard to live Do you think they’re better there Do you think they’re better dead Do you drink your coffee You have a head And are you dead I don’t know what to do

Fallin' 04:38
Was I blind Was I ignorant Focused eyes Souls that are not meant for me All alone in a crowded room Piercing the clouds you lit my way And I loved it And it wasn’t too high even though you’re the sunshine and you are burning my skin I love you even if your nose is broken even though you’re gay. A baby off all shapes Different shades of a baby Lover shaped in the form of a buddy Baby Baby He’s an equilibrium I feel it He is keeping me from falling Falling Not that I didn’t love them my baby Restless calm Familiar stranger I did not smell the rat I’m in a comfy danger Exausted of wearing mask and you can only see my skin And I missed you Wasn’t over eloquent from the very beginning oui tu manquais à ma vie I love you Even more than oysters Even more than eating Forever blessed you wanna fuck me I’m falling Baby Baby He’s an equilibrium I feel it He is keeping me from falling Falling Not that I didn’t love them my baby but they were drafts of you my honey Not that I didn’t love them my baby but they were drafts of you my darling Not that I didn’t love them my baby but they were drafts of you my favorite Not that I didn’t love them my baby but they were drafts of you my baby … Ouhouhouhouhouhouh ...

Lies a Bell 02:56
The bourgeoisie is a destiny Is it something that you’ll leave your kids too The genes to shine No bowl of rice Classy people on boats are feeling blue Well it’s been hard for you Hard Yeah it’s been hard not to hate you and your lies Because you lied Family in the press You are never alone no They pay for your excess and second home You’re a failed reporter Skimming her butter Wining honeymoon by tax evasion Well it’s been hard for you Hard Yeah it’s been hard not to hate you and your lies Because you lied Oh you’re a liar oh yeah Don’t you know it You lied Your house of cards is falling You lied But you never did anything Brother dead on a motorbike Suicide uncle You lied to yourself too You lied

The Artist 02:35
Ouhouhouhouh X4 If you are lost Don’t come to me ‘Cause I’ve got no advice to give Except that forgt all about… Except that… Ouhouhouhouh X4 If you are done with your tragedy I will be there ‘cause true friends stay Except that… You are the clue You are the glue Yeah you’ve got the treasure deep inside you Ouhouh except that... Forget all about mysterious girls Forget all about the characters Forget all about lone wolves and aliens Forget about artists ‘cause they’ll die too They’ll die too Ouhouhouhouh ... They’ll die too ...

I get lost in you Tyranny of love is marching towards you I love myself through you Finding myself in your faith In you I give myself I’m giving me But I will never get it back again Feeling alone No one sees through me Live in my eyes And I beg you And I’m crawling I give myself You never get what you give ahahah I give myself You never get what you give ahahah I give myself But am I sufficient The frantic race to be adored The more you run the more the arrival dissolves Karma’s fair play but people are not Save the energy to fill you heart And I give myself You never get what you give ahahah I give myself You never get what you give ahahah I give myself Am I sufficient I…… AM I ?…… I ? I ? Ahah Ahahahah ahahaha ahahah YOU ARE…. YOU …. You are… You Are… You never get what you give ahahahah You are enough You never get what you give ahahahah You are enough…. You are enough

The Makeover 03:23
Surrounded by ancient photos of her like an army of Barbies Those judging little dolls stuck in retro pictures Gloria’s trapped in her body Is it that hard to get older When she tries to find herself in the mirror The makeover drives her crazy The makeover drives her crazy There’s beauty in all this anger Gloria is pretty X2 Can’t recognize her hands looking like dead lillies Her body is made of cell The cell is her body Ahahahah X2 Forgets a lot of stuff and blames others for it I guess it’s scary there inside that prison of hers I guess it’s scary X3 Is it that hard to get older When she tries to find herself in the mirror The makeover drives her crazy The makeover drives her crazy There’s beauty in all this anger Gloria is pretty Ahahahah X3 You go girl The makeover drives her crazy The makeover drives her crazy The makeover, the makeover, the makeover, the makeover The makeover drives her crazy The makeover drives her crazy The makeover, the makeover, the makeover, the makeover The makeover drives her crazy The makeover drives her crazy The makeover, the makeover, the makeover, the makeover

Lisa's Eyes 03:30
I know it sounds naive and a bit cliché But I’m gonna tell you my story anyway I met this little girl She might be six But when I crossed her gaze I felt like a baby Please don’t judge me too hard with your purity It’s like she knows all the things in the world I see she sees all the meaning of it Please don’t judge me too hard She sees our faults simply with a look Must be an ancient soul I’m sure she can heal our wounds Her eyes are a million years old And they crossed my way They’re Lisa’s eyes And don’t dare to dare them Forgive me Lisa for my insanity Has compassion for the smallest creatures As much as for the Beast Maybe she reads the future Please forgive me Lisa The daughter of a god At least that’s what she thinks She can defy her mom even if they can sing together to the Courtney’s She really believes in her own theories But she can change her mind on brocolis Don’t be too hard Lisa Don’t be afraid LisaaaaHey Please forgive us Lisa X4

Drama Club 03:44
You wake up in the morning It’s too early in the morning It should be easy But it doesn’t feel easy You don’t see that it’s right now ‘Cause we are living a dream just right now Brothers I love you But you’re driving me crazy too We grow older We must get stronger I cannot be inside this van Let’s grow older I cannot stand beside those guys Let’s get stronger And I watch you sleeping I love it I get out of bed before you All the guys are asking around « Who’s that one And what he did was bad He made fun of loved ones and brought some cocaine » I felt bad at the start and then I searched deep inside of me Knowing that you are my friend Knowing that you are in the band Do we grow older And we must get stronger I cannot be inside this van Let’s grow older I cannot stand beside those guys Let’s get stronger It’s all over X2 It’s all over X4 And I don’t wanna stay and I don’t wanna leave Ohohoh I don’t wanna stay Ahahahah we grow older Ahahahah and we can get stronger I cannot be inside this van It’s all over I cannot stand beside those guys It’s all over Ahahahah it’s all over X4 And I don’t wanna stay I don’t wanna leave I don’t wanna stay Ohohohoh
