NOVELISTS LYRICS

1. L'appel Du Vide

I cannot explain this feeling I'm having
When I'm looking at these pictures
Yellowed by the sun
This weird emotion is sticking at my soul
It numbs me to the bones

These moments are battles I can't win

Everything that I love is killing me
And these lies won't save me any longer (can't save me anymore)
I've destroyed one by one every beloved thing
Right before my own eyes
Slowly but surely

One day I'll be part of the ghosts on your photographs
And you'll forget about me when other ones come

You will replace one by one every memories
They will fall away and merge in the afterglow

I cannot explain this feeling I'm having
When I'm hearing these hearts singing
Burdened by their dirge
This weird emotion that's echoing with my soul is all I ever feared

These moments are battles I can't win

Everything that I love is killing me
And these lies won't save me any longer (can't save me anymore)
I've destroyed one by one every beloved thing
Right before my own eyes
Slowly but surely

I'll never get used to this acrid venom
That's shooting through my veins
I'll never get used to this ice that stands beneath my skin

2. Monochrome

I'm trying to survive these strange days
This life can be such an adventure
The world stands before my eyes wilder than it has ever been

I forgot these old memories of youth that were caught right under the surface
Forgot these souvenirs of you that were calling back the pain

I never felt happy somehow
But I'm trying, I'm trying the best I can
I really wanna feel happy sometimes
Really wanna know where the lights are
But it only feels so wrong
It's eating me alive

I never know how to shorten the distance between my heart and my head
'Cause through my eyes, the days are monochrome

I wanna feel the light of a new day
But I'm so scared of it all...
I'm scared this utter joy ain't lasting forever
It's eating me alive

I never felt happy somehow
But I'm trying, I'm trying the best I can
I really wanna feel happy sometimes
Really wanna know where the lights are
But it only feels so wrong
It's eating me alive

I'm trying to survive my feelings
The joy is the ghost of a wanderer
Lost somewhere outside of here
Counting every hour

3. Under Different Welkins

I'm so scared of living my life in vain
I'm always always craving for better vibes
My hands are rough, my soul is heavy...
But they've always held me down
When my whole life was going south

The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once and for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole
No, I can't feel whole

You know
The road has always been the same
But the world is changing
I am lost
Lost amongst the days I'm living
I'm dreaming of a brighter way

I've placed my heart on an altar
Have set my soul ablaze
In hope to save me from myself

Oh you know we may walk under different welkins
But when I'm drowning in your eyes

I can feel that I am not alone anymore
With the stranger

That I see into the mirror
Not alone with my fucking pain, again

So don't let me...
Don't let me think my life is vain;

I'm so far from seeing the life through their heart shaped glasses
I'm always always craving for better vibes

'Cause the world is mad, the world is crazy
And it keeps bringing me down
Each day my life keeps going south

The three last years might have changed my life forever
Now I just wanna break free from these towering walls
To get this grey out of my mind
(Just once for all)
'Cause when I'm here alone with the silence, I can't feel whole

Show me the fire, ignite me
I'm feeling so cold
I wanna know why I'm aching
Look in my eyes, tell me what you see
I'm feeling so numb
I need a sign to keep on fighting

I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
I need a sign to keep on fighting
Don't let me live my life in vain
Don't let me think my life is vain

4. Les Nuits Noires

I woke up again, from this recurrent nightmare
The night has never seemed so dark
I'm being swallowed by the abyss
My life, like brought back to the ether
My shadow is getting bigger
And there's nowhere to run

Get me rid of this chronic pain
That drags me through the coldest hell
There is not much left of who I've been
I just cannot stop dreaming of the end
I can't stop and it's killing me
It's fucking killing me

Someday I might find out where the bliss lurks
Caught in a web of lies
I found out that the truth can hurt
Just like a blade, a knife
I'm about to let go
I just can't do this on my own

The pain is haunting my nights
I'm fucking scared of what tomorrow could be
And each time I try to face the light
I just don't fucking feel it

Oh please father show me a sign
The devil starts to sing for me
The light begins to fade away
I fear for my fucking life

Someday I might find out where the bliss lurks
Caught in a web of lies
I found out that the truth can hurt
Just like a blade, a knife
I'm about to let go
I just can't do this on my own

5. Grey Souls

I see the eyes of a thousand suns
Staring at all these lonely beings of carbon
Lost in the desert of their souls
Seeking a meaning to their existence
A sense to their lives

We are the desperate souls
The children of a bottomless chasm
We are the shadow of a dying world

We're thousands, dead inside
No constellation in our eyes
Just dead stars
(My poor friends what a sorry state we're in)
You'll find no source of light
Nor any answers in our hearts
Just grey souls

To numb the pain devour the soul like a black hole
And let us fade along these monotonous days
We're broken, seeking a way...
Seeking a way out of this endless hell
Confined inside the back of our fucking skulls

We cower to hide from the light of the stars
Back into the mire
We're hopelessly drowning
Our evils meddle with each fucking day
This nascent fire will forever consume us

We're thousands dead inside
No constellation in our eyes
Just dead stars
(My poor friends what a sorry state we're in)
You'll find no source of light
Nor any answers in our hearts
But grey souls

6. A Bitter End

I'm so sick of these moments with you
Of staring at all these stars
Hand in hand like two liars
I swear sometimes I'd rather be dead
Just like the lights in your eyes
The lights of the town don't shine like they used to
How could I let this be?
Oh how could I let this be?
What have we got left except this long silence?
We're fading out as the night falls down
What have we got left expect this fucking distance that is standing
Right between us?

We're standing together on the edge like ready to burn
We're staring at each other, fade along the days (we're fading)
Denying a bitter end

Our fucking dance is endless
And sometimes, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather watch us fucking burn

Endless, our fucking dance is endless
We're dancing on our graves
I'd rather watch us...
I'd rather watch us burn

We're standing together on the edge
Denying a bitter end

We're standing together on the edge like ready to burn
We're staring at each other, fade along the days (we're fading)
Denying a bitter end

I've had enough of your fucking bullshit
To relive each of these lies
Hand in hand, like two liars
I swear, sometimes, I'd rather be dead
Just like this hole in my heart
My pain keeps growing like it used to
How could you let this be?
Oh how could you let this be?
What have we got left except this long silence?
We're fading out as the night falls down
What have we got left expect this fucking distance that is standing right between us?

Our fucking dance is endless
I'd rather watch us fucking burn

7. Stranger Self

I've become a shadow amongst the shadows of your conscience
Another fucking blood stain on these walls
Oh I've been lost for too long within this garden of concrete
Into this hell that your eyes have always been reflecting

You stand alone amongst the statues of these corridors
You're dwelling with a phantom between hell and home

Oh I'm no one to you
A stranger that calls for the rain
I held on for nothing
You don't seem to see me

You don't even speak to me anymore
Still thinking about just leaving and walking straight out the fucking door
A stranger, figment imaginated
Detail in haze, a ghost without the face and..
What, you ain't got no time for me now to be around
Love you from a distance the second I left
You see me now
Check, is that it
Mad, it's aristocratic
Glass inhabits
For the feeling it missed I'm shattered
Fuck it our frequency never matched
I never felt so attached
In a black dormant heart I will react
And I ain't got no time for you to feel
Time for you to heal
Time for you to see me through
This could be us but I know it's just you
This could be us but I know it's just you

Now you would trade your soul
For a fucking day out of your skin
To get away from this house
Where you ahve to face what you look like

You hate yourself
'Cause you're a passerby in the life of your loved ones

Aren't you sick of acting like you're fine?

Oh I'm no one to you
A stranger that calls for the rain
I held on for nothing
You don't seem to see me

8. The Light, The Fire

Your eyes tend to remind me so frequently
The cold and distant light of these heavenly bodies
I know too well that I'm the only one to blame, I'm sorry
I knew where we'd be led but I just kept walking

Now, I see the light, the fire devouring the coal
Now I'm used to singing with the monster I've become
To dream of the gold in the river
Oh, the nights have become longer to stand
And the dawn is harder to wake each day

These nights have stolen the best
And what is left should never be yours
I'm fading with the gleam of a far-off firmament

My soul weeps an ocean I can't seem to drain
I'm drowning in these waters
Sink as deep as I can sink
I know too well that I'm the only to blame
I'm sorry
I knew where I'd be led

I've spent my whole life
Dreaming of a brighter light
But I doubt you can ever realize
That all these songs to call-off the jinx
Might be everything this world has left me

Now, I see the light, the fire, devouring the call
Now I'm used to singing with the monster I've become
To dream of the gold in the river
Oh, the nights have become longer to stand
The dawn is harder to wake each day

I can't seem to live with these dreams of you
Fuck!

9. Joie De Vivre

It comes in like a cold wind
The spirit of the world we live in
I'm holding a wave
Go give it away 'cause...

Are we looking for the answers?
Or are we dropping to our knees and giving in?
I'm running again
Stop running away 'cause...
'Cause I feel exiled inside of my head
Existing through this vivid dream

Say that I'll feel the same (it's not your time)
Say that I'll feel the same
But it's now or never
And I keep running away
(Existing through this vivid dream)
I keep running away (it's not your time)

So I'm chasing the joie de vivre
Not really knowing how it works
I'm holding on a dream
Even if everything around me collapses

So turn and face your fears
Thoughts rise, your mind it clears
I feel it again, oh I feel it again
Because I thought I needed somewhere to run
Looking for home, like night for the setting sun
Oh I'm shining again, oh I'm shining again

Say that I'll feel the same (it's not your time)
Say that I'll feel the same
But it's now or never
And I keep running away
(Existing through this vivid dream)
I keep running away (it's not your time)

10. Lead The Light

I've never really been proud of my life
I've made a lot of bad choices
But the chance that I was given helped me to change
You know I've been running after something I was dreaming of
And somehow it brought me the strength to still believe

I'm not holding any fucking answer about that life
I’m just trying to live mine
Without putting my feelings aside
I keep on trying to find my place in this world

Let the light come in
Show me the way before the night calls me again
And if there's any price to pay
Then just take everything I have ever owned

I've never really been proud of myself
I've made a lot of bad choices
But the chance that I was given helped me to change
The pain is sticking to these songs
It seems to never leave
But somehow that is what has always defined me

11. À Travers Le Miroir

She imprisoned my soul in a bottle
Like a firefly
And threw it again to the fire

She drew me that life on a vacant canvas
But she's gone with its colors
We're playing a duet
But the melody of melancholy seems to be the only thing we share

Tell me the secrets of her fantasy
How could I believe in this heaven that she promises?

She's calling my name in my dreams
I can't hide
Oh she's in the walls, and she never falls asleep
I feel her presence
In these streets, in my house
In these thoughts that I have
With her cloak and her big black scythe

This sharp taste of iron doesn't really leave
(Never really leaves)
Like calling her ghost through the mirror
I'm painting my life on this vacant canvas with my own blood

She's calling my name in my dreams
I can't hide
Oh she's in the walls, and she never falls asleep
I feel her presence
In these streets, in my house
In these thoughts that I have
With her cloak and her big black scythe

I'm calling her ghost through the mirror
Oh I know that I just can't hide

12. Heal The Wound

Teach me to face what's lurking deep inside
I'm crashing down right before you
I feel broken, I feel downed
With my face against the ground
My heart is weighting me
My icy soul is afire

I'm running after bliss
'Cause I don't know what it tastes like
But I'm not blaming anyone, no
I'm way too much detached now
Insensitive to your words
And each time that I'm alone
My fucking conscience tells me:

"You're feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
Of trying to heal the wounds in time
You wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling
That's raging in your soul."

Teach me to face what lurks within my heart
I'm crashing down right before you
I'm always hiding behind this smile
The smile on my face
So no one's gotta ask me if everythings okay

Just read between the lines
I'm wishing that you can see
My sky ain't bluer than yours

I'm way too much detached now
I think I'm too far gone
'Cause each time I'm feeling lost
My fucking conscience tells me:

"You're feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
Of trying to heal the wounds in time
You wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling
That's raging in your soul."

I'm feeling sick of trying
Of trying to bury the reason
I wanted to...
To learn to love this feeling that's raging in my soul

I've learned to love the thunder, until the sun comes back
I've learned to love this rumble that haunts my mind
It's never ever easy
But I hold onto these lines
I've learned to love this black cloud that haunts my nights
