Bravery
I'll trade my magnet brain
For steel currents running through my veins
I'll trade this coupon for a suicide note
For an exciting Münchausen board game
Sit back, Relax and Enjoy the Coma
Merry Death Of Me
We shape our Feelings
Therefore they shape Us
Now let's just throw
This New Guilt
In the pile
I should be Enough
Is that really Bravery ?
This should be Enough
As we're entering,
Entering Hope
Ghost of ghost of a tunnel
Rainbows made of stone
We'll keep our lanterns lit
Lit for a thousand years
[April, may & the 29/06/2017]

Funny Talking Animals
I can see
This isn't Me
As I still love
The Funny Talking Animals
Forcefed with a Sour Tale
Now get so sick you're sane
Let it show
When is
The last time
Acid reigns
Prevented you
From going out
We're both burnt but
Beautiful
I don't see why I wouldn't dance with a boy
If he's not a liar
I'm in love with a girl who knows
She's so much more than her bones
We're all lampless kindred spirits
None of their children fucking sing
The sun
Has bleached the books for good now
But I'll remember the houses
Of my old friends and favorite rabbits
I don't see why I wouldn't kiss a boy
If he's not a backstabber
I'm in love with a girl who knows
She's so much more than her bones
We're all lampless kindred spirits
None of their children fucking sing
[Between the 5th & the 8th of march '16 ]

Lyrics by Frank Sullivan / Jim Peterik
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'till we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the dream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger
Risin' up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the dream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger

Kiruna
I was ready to give up
But not to call it a Failure
Frostbitten steps were drying off
The tetanic winds
And then I noticed
The sun was in my back
It lit the previous tracks
Of all the chivalrous men
The sun was in my back
I atoned in a smile
And turned my head
Then Kiruna saw me
Spontaneous opening
Of a landslid afternoon
Contagious stitching
Of the flower wounds
Where the wood warms up the stone
If it's all white then it's a start
I get to pick the colours
--
It's not the Same
It seems we're running out of Light
We're not to Blame
It seems we're running out of Light
[24th of november 2015, Kiruna, Sweden]

Heart Sized Parade
This Thing happening
Right now between Us
Feels like a flea circus on the run
Hunted by scientists
The Bumblebees
Will never please
We're playing dice with marbles
Humming tuneless serenades
We're a million floats of lead
In a Heart Sized Parade
I think I do
I think I'm in Love
With You
I Know I'm in Love
With You
We will cross every heart
Hoping they'll never die
« Always say Always again »
The gospel of the dragonflies
Tame this passion with a stick
Made out of all the ghosts that turned to flesh
When you decided to become one
With the haunting of your laugh
Sleepwalking musical about
The symmetry of heartbeats
Sadly there's no parts available apart
The ones I write everytime
I wish I was in your arms
Hysterical Intimacy
Vertical and Free
We'll be Brave
Marching Down This Life
Together
HEART SIZED PARADE
[21/04/2018 // 17/ 05/ 2018]
