My Enemy
Darkness is coming upon me
I feel like a dead sick tree
I know I can’t turn back
The door is closed for me…
No one forgives what I say
Alone in this place
I feel my feet are on fire
I need to run away
I only need to escape
No one forgives what I say
I’m my mother
I’m my father
I’m my sister
I’m my brother
You cannot hurt me
I’m my own enemy
You won’t have my blood
I’m my own enemy
No one forgives what I say
I’m my mother
I’m my father
I’m my sister
I’m my brother

Another Sin To Hide

Another sin to hide
I’m lookin’ deep inside of me
I’m tryin’ to find my key
There’s only shame in me…
I am aware of being
A perfect liar
In this world of hypocrites
But I feel the thorns in my guts
I should not be here
This isn’t the place I belong to
There’s too much light in here, how can I hide?
I want another place, I need another place
Chorus
I, I never find my way
I want a way to escape
I fly in a red sky
My wings are amputated
Another sin to hide…
I’m not better than I seem to be
A good actress, can I be
Another sin to hide, I’ve another sin to hide
I’m crying in my hands
I swallow pills of silliness
And I’m spittin’ out my dirt
You, you can’t see my face
Seasons have deleted
All the words I’ve said
And the only things that remain
Are teardrops in my veins
I stopped washing my conscience
There’s too much light in here, how can I hide?
I need another place, where can I hide?
Chorus
A good child obeys, he lowers his head,
A good child obeys, I’m not a good child…
Chorus

Uninvited
(a.morissette)
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepard meet shepard
But you you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate.

Invisible
You can't see my nudity
not even touch my thoughts
and you can't see under my skin
nor even perceive my senses
you see just the most visible part of me in a carpet of red leaves
chorus
lets scratch among this ground
please, dig in my soul deep inside
let your time pass if you can
please, try to feel this keen breath
I have inside...
Invisible as I am, Invisible if I can, Invisible as I am
Try again to fight this rain
with your silver tears
and spill your blood again
I want you to hear the sound of this rain
above an invisible ground, above an invisible ground
chorus
Invisible as I am, Invisible if I can, Invisible as I am
The pure sound of rain adds to the silence
these are deaf noises
the blood on my fingers sticks wings to the words...
chorus
Invisible as I am, Invisible if I can, Invisible as I am (x3)

Who Are You?

Who Are You?
Hello Monster, who are you? I see you and you have my face,
Hello Rabbit, who are you? I feel your touch and you have my hands
I'm trying to make you disappear
I'm bleeding while you're watching me
I' searching, I'm praying,
Under the rubble I'm alive
No one can be as cruel as I am
Sir Caterpillar, there you are! I hear you and you’re in my brain
Well, your smoke is fading now, you're still here inside me
I'm not strong enough
I'm trying to make you disappear
I'm bleeding while you're killing me
I'm fighting, I'm dying,
Under the rubble I survive
No one can be as cruel as I am
Tell me sir, which side of this mushroom I have to eat?
Tell me sir, how much of this poison I have to drink?
I'm trying to make you disappear
I'm bleeding while you're kissing me
I'm squirming, I'm givin’ up,
Under the rubble now I’m dying
No one can be as cruel as I am
Who are you? You are me

Are You Sleeping?

Are You Sleeping ?
Are you ready now?
Your eyes are wide open but they cannot see
Your mouth is going to talk
But suddenly you have no voice
You can try to live your life
For this you have to be brave
Only the possibilities you already know seem to be the shortest way
But your legs don’t walk…
You’re workin’ for almost nothing, will this satisfy you?
So are you ready for the last day
What do you expect from this?
We were not born to be in transit in this life
we have the choice to change it
so let the battle start
Chorus
How long, long, long have you been sleeping? (let the battle start now)
How long, long, long have you been sleeping? (let the battle start now)
Are you ready man?
Your arms are wide open, but you’re embracing in vain
Years are passing quickly
D’ you still want to sit and watch?
You are trying to hold back time
D’ you really want a revenge?
If you’re not able to stitch your wings, you won’t even be able to fly
There is nowhere to fly…
Chorus
Are you ready to be a soldier in your life?
(Are crumbs enough for you?)
Do you still want to watch your life on television?
(Is nothing enough for you?)
Are you waiting for someone to save your ass?
Chorus

Mr B
Where's your conscience, Mr Liar?
Do you want to have more power?
Have you ever looked outside your window?
Do you think you can still push your luck?
Oh, Mr. Puppet, the threads can be broken,
I think there's too much dirt under your rug
Are you able to remember all your lies?
Are you able to remember all your crimes?
chorus
Do you want to keep the crown on your head?
So the crowd will come to claim your head...
So you’re not my king, you know
Mr B, Mr Liar, Mr Bastard, in your head you are mumbling
“That's not my fault”
Where's your grave, Mr Liar?
D’you still want to take it out on us?
Have you ever thought that we are really tired?
Tired of seeing your smile, of seeing your rubber face
Oh, Mr. Slimy, now the empire is fading,
I think you made it too stinky now
Are you able to sell us your fake goods?
Are you able to sell again your soul?
chorus
It’s a plot! I’ m a great leader, I am your savior, you should be grateful!
There’s something moving inside me
I think there is still something to fight for
There’s something moving inside us
We think there is still something to fight for
chorus

I Fall
07:01

I fall
When my feet are walkin' on broken glass
when my innocent mouth is talkin' with icy faces
And I’m dying in the poisoned sky
and I hear my voice fading away
When the rain washes away the pain, my pain goes away like this rain
When the rain washes away the pain, my pain goes away like this rain
And I fall like these birds
I'm a dark light under the water
I'm the spirit of the wind
and I fall under the ocean
And I fall like these birds
I'm a dark light under the water
I'm the fairy of the sea
and I fall inside the ocean
When my feet are walkin' on broken glass
when my innocent mouth is screaming with icy faces
When the rain washes away the pain, my pain goes away like this rain
When the rain washes away the pain, my pain goes away like this rain
And I fall like these birds
I'm a small light under the water
I'm the spirit of the wind
and I fall over the ocean
And I fly like these birds
I'm a small light under the water
I'm the fairy of the sea
and I'm alive under the ocean
Now I’m flying like these birds
I'm a wonderful light over the water
I’m the spirit of the wind
and I'm safe under the ocean
I'm safe under the ocean, and I’m safe...
And I fall like these birds
I'm a small light under the water
I'm the fairy of the wind
and I fall under the ocean
And I fall like these birds
I'm a wonderful light over the water
I'm the spirit of the wind
and I fall under the ocean
I’m alive under the ocean

He doesn't Know

He doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
How she’s crying
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
How she’s dying
She’s hurting herself without compassion
She’s waiting to redeem herself
No death can be sweet enough
Like this fall in the deepest hole
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
That she’s hesitating
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
That she’s just surviving
She’s living her life like a ghost
She’s dreaming for just a day of sun
No slumber can give her relief enough
Her guts are slowly dying inside
Nobody knows, nobody knows
That she’s a liar
Nobody knows, nobody knows
How cruel she can be
Now that her wounds are too deep
Now that she’s lost her sanity
She doesn’t know, she doesn’t know
That she’s not guilty
She doesn’t know, she doesn’t know
That she reserves redemption
