lyrics

You can't deny, you're still a child, you're acting like it.
Deform things to keep the story right in your spirit.
For many times, I've thought I was crazy while talking to you.
My story, never fit, with your versions of my childhood.

you're sure that if we're question yourself, we are mean...
Like if I want to break you in pieces like when I was fourteen.
You want my reality of that time and my memories be fantaisies,
to justify your own dream of the mother you wanna be.

I was there, I've seen it all and I've heard too.
I've seen my dad close to the death, I've felt your heart close to collapse.
I've suffered so much, and you still don't understand where this come from.
All that rage, that anger, that hate an all theses wounds

You gotta keep your mouth shut.
Sit down…
Listen, don’t judge, forgive...


You're not the only one to suffer, you're not the only one who's hurt you're not the center of the world where all the meteors crashing to burn.

I'm not your husband, I'm not "the male", the one who care, I'm not you're dad, your savior`, I' m your son, who haven’t chosen to be there.


you keep throwing rocks, through the telephone.
You're hang on to that link to not feel alone.
You need this in your own terms, unable to question yourself.
And you don't care if at the end, that's me hanged on that rope.

For many times, I've somatized, so angry and full of rage.
Hurt my body while my feelings have been raped and erased.
While the story blame my dad in your mouth, it's always “yes”. ..
And for any little mistakes you've made, It was a dream and nothing less.

When we push the conversation to the core, You can't stand it anymore...
And it's the time to do your thing, A nice acting, a movie scene.
I break your heart, I break your mind, all what you've got in just one time
Oh yeah I'm strong ! I can give you the oscar of the broken mother queen.

You gotta keep your mouth shut.
Sit down…
Listen, don’t judge, forgive...


You're not the only one to suffer, you're not the only one who's hurt you're not the center of the world where all the meteors crashing to burn.

I'm not your husband, I'm not "the male", the one who care, I'm not you're dad your savior`, I' m your son, who haven’t chosen to be there.


You cannot own anyone, anyway I'm not for sale.
Honesty of heart is not something that China can made.
I ask you to listen, neither more nor less.
And you always put this to bed.

You had a hard path and you feel like shit.
But that does it worth to lose your son for an ego who can't find rest ?
I feel so orphaned, but the young me is gone and dead.
And It's so hard to know that you prefer to pretend, than listen.

If you think, this is love that you give at this moment you’ve got all wrong,
Deny my pains, to yours is so selfish, it's not worthy of a mother or even a friend.

Who have to be the grown up ? who have to be the parent ? huh? what do you guess?
When I put the roles back to place, surprise ! all your universe come to collapse.


You're not the only one to suffer, you're not the only one who's hurt you're not the center of the world where all the meteors crashing to burn

I'm not your husband, I'm not "the male", the one who care, I'm not your dad, I'm not your savior`, I'm just your son, who haven’t chosen to be there

You’re not the center of the world where all the meteors crashing to burn,
Not the center of the world where all the meteors crashing to burn,
Not the only one to suffer not the only one who's hurt no,
No you're not, no you're not, no you're not, no you're not !

Slomo est un animal à 3 pattes avançant lentement sur une terre rocailleuse. Son pas ralenti, d’allure massive, laisse pourtant apparaître un squelette sec et une peau tannée. Son cri rauque est désabusé, empreint d’une mélancolie contemplative traversée par des fulgurances rageuses. ... more
