REACH THE SHORE LYRICS

1. Hold Fast

Sometimes I let myself
Be taken by distress and despondencies
I will not drift away
Not now not here

And even if we never perceive the cliffs
Hold fast
Hold fast
And even if we never feel the breeze
Hold fast
Hold fast

I will not hit the bottom
As I’m not dead
I will still be aware

I will not hit the bottom
As I’m not dead
I will still be aware
(And hold fast)

2. Ideas & Beliefs

Here we go

I have guts not to fear
Of what’s in my head that tries to change
My life, my mind and my purpose
I will trust my senses
And my forebodings

Am I trying to provoke
A process of dreaming
Sleeping is seeing
And dreaming my new faith

People just want to know
But they avoid understanding

My memories always seem more beautiful
And I crystallize my past
I thought I could lock myself in
And hide the truth (and hide the truth)

And I try to keep in mind
That I am a sinner and wrongful
Knowing who I am
Will be my ataraxia

I feel I don’t want to
Sleep in a fucking solace
I can foil my head and finally trust my eyes
Finally get my head out of the clouds
Dreams are what I had refused to value
I don’t belong to any of them

I am a creature of will
I am a seeker of what I really am

I have guts not to care
Of what’s in my head that tries to change

I will trust my senses
And my forebodings [x2]

3. Ornate Shrine

If you have enough conscience
Deny the fate

All I would like to have
All I would like to be
I don’t want it to appear
In an other way
Than my hands, than my sweat
Kneel and hope other than yourself
An easier way, a wrong way

(A path without pitfalls)

Old men listen to a preacher and are
Convinced not to believe in themselves
Money crashing down the stone
Poor mother coins for a healing wind
All this will for gods of straw

A consciousless line of people
Falling from the cliff shrine

Seek out for the gold
Seek out for the greatness
Bones to create an ornate shrine
Ashes and drops to feed the gods

All I would like to have
All I would like to be
I don’t want it to appear
In an other way
Than my hands, than my sweat
In a world forged by tales and myths

An endless circle
A perfect play
Ashes and drops
To feed the gods

Tear down the idols
Melt the gold
A new pattern of life
For this age of wisdom

I can believe in hope
But I will host the confidence

4. Lycoris

5. Throw Away

Stand upright
I have to seize it not to let it go away
This opportunity to live free
To escape
But I feel it taking off
This occasion slides me as fine sand between fingers (between fingers)

I have to dare to fail
Only those who dare to lose everything
Will live a thriving life
Not be afraid to shipwreck
When the path is simple there is no threat.

The dust is dissipated
Do you feel the thrill?
The loud became quiet
& the stormy became chill

Live and let live
& tempt the fate
Live and let live
& throw it all away

Presentiments don’t show up without reason
My legs are already sinking

The hourglass runs out
Drops and pebbles float in the air
Thunder bursts upon my skin
And the sky will flare

Live and let live
& tempt the fate
Let it throw away
Before it’s too late
Before the earth swallows your corpse
Stand upright

6. Grieving Tree

7. Nothing To Do Here

It's time to leave
Finally be myself
I'll discard the rest
As free as I was down yesterday
No more duty, no more chore
All these burdens are just
Pieces of shit
I was smiling with a dagger on the throat
I let myself die with no will and no desire
But i found out
My own reason to live
A loss of time
I had chosen neither
Vice nor virtue
I chose not to choose
But I killed myself to reborn as I had always wanted to be
I betrayed the gift of my life
It's time to leave
Finally be myself
I'll discard the rest
As free as I was down yesterday
Finally be myself
I'll discard the rest
I never knew what it's like to be okay
I've rejected my own boring heaven
I'd rather be in harsh reality
And live now
I've rejected my own boring heaven
I'd rather be in harsh reality
I swear to never relive those days
I will not let time take its course
Take its course

8. Tiger's Blood

[feat. Adrien Schockert]

I am just feeding scavengers
I am only a few remains
I won’t let it go
All these souls that built me…

…and those that have caused my loss
I cursed their souls
Painless and valueless
They will be pillars of my grave

Go on, eat my flesh
Let it choke you
Crows and hyenas
Let it turn your stomach
Dogs and vultures
Taste your own harm

But I didn’t worry
About my own life

Their vigilance should not subside cause
I’m suffering so I’m alive

Even if he stumbles,
A man on the edge of the death
Is still alive [2x]

Don’t beg me to move
To prove you’re right
My body’s not a burden
It’s a detail

Those who have dropped me
Will dive with me

I will not let them suffer
Those who matter to me
I will keep them away from me

Because,
Even if he shivers
A man on the edge of the death
Will still remember
Will still love
(LOVE)

9. Bed Reconciliation

I saw & I felt

Make this affecting
Make this real
Reconsider these last hours

Ups and downs
Made us grow up
They opened our eyes

Question yourself!

When we are lying
Don’t drink my words
When I am smiling
Don’t try to see through my eyes
I saw & I felt

What can stir my heart
And I can’t find it in a bed
I can’t find it with anyone

I thought I could force myself
To make this relationship more than what it is

All our expectations of us
Lead only to a misconception
No spark lights in me
No bird sings on us

This great charm would not be enough for me
You’ll never actually understand
What I am

An empire in the sheets
But a beggar in the heart
Everything you brought me withers me away

A man who loved
A cursed man
I understand you blame me

But nothing tickles my knees
Nothing in you reminds me of her

Now you know
That there is no lust in love

10. Torch

11. At Daggers Drawn

[feat. Jérémiah Zeghers]

Break.

I can hear a voice
That’s howling my name
Dividing myself like love was hate

Making me dig up tearing nails
& bring me to strain

Burning my brain
That can’t merge
Forcing me to wince
Prevents me since

My tongue is attracted to the razor edge
I’m holding my hands, I’m biting my lips
& I’m thirsty of a balance
Oh if I could leave

Stuck in a demon’s jaw
Disguised as my twin
The wounds are staining the grins while ego is killing humility

Why, the link is raw
While the others seem so quiet
So peaceful

Denial breeds denial
I’m trying to repulse

The hell that’s in my head
Common sense is becoming a fucking glitch

Face the fierce
Who wreak havoc

Oh, the mind drifter is collapsing
All endeavor is failing

I can’t remember
What was once
The young sane
Before I become a Janus

If you could pick up my pieces
And get me closer to the brightness
Give me peace in me

What if I was wrong?
I should accept my entire being
The bastard and the brave

Self acceptance is freeing up
And even behind the storm and rain
The sun will still rise, here.
Will still rise, here.
