Intro
let’s go
welcome
to the midnight society
Couplet 1
flow, always present, almost never seen
not so victorious but you’re a part of it
will, the will to climb the mountains of deceit
proudly represented by every company
clarity, no echo chambers
maturity level is breaking up the fool
we’re trying to build rome
but where’s everyone?
Refrain 1
start the fire, let go of your self
excruciating burning of innocence
when it’s time to lay out your demands
one by one, who did we forget?
Couplet 2
daft, idiotic and outright gross
let’s get the motherfucker running out of common sense
mallows, piercing the veil
waiting for an outcome screaming « look at me »
an ai’s building your world
the future generation is a pretty good bet
spielberg, universe, fantasy
where the fuck are you?!
Refrain 2
start the fire, let go of your self
excruciating burning of innocence
when it’s time to lay out your demands
one by one, who did we forget?
Breakdown 1
who did you forget?
i am your master, curator of this society
i am the orator, the moth-eaten philosopher
you’re all the creators, muse to me you’re my power
stay with me, embrace your fears
bathing in this fallacy
Breakdown 2
we rose to fame
we rose to fame
marry your own self
marry your own self

Intro
welcome to this part of me
Couplet 1
my mirror’s crying, my dresses too
what’s wrong with me?
was I born in the wrong body?
Refrain 1
throw it up and soak the crowd
elevator going down
one more bite for woeful plight
shadows cast on your delight
Couplet 2
falling into my own scarlet reflections
and i’m cut to blood
Refrain 2
throw it up and soak the crowd
elevator going down
one more bite for woeful plight
shadows cast on your delight
clouds are swirling, not that far
shapes of murder or a flock?
sea of stars, unimpressed
is it sadness? is this stress?
Post-Refrain
what about a trip to therapy?
what about a trip to therapy?
Pre-Breakdown
j’serais hyper down
Breakdown
and she said
what’s the worst? what’s the worst?
what’s the worst that could happen?
what’s the worst? what’s the worst?
what’s the worst that could happen?
and as she danced eclectically
in front of thousands of soothing lights
a glimpse of her memory
flashed into her weary eyes

Préface
oh wow, what a beautiful
sailing the seas of destiny
Intro
it’s not what it looks like
it’s not what you think
(ahhhhhh)
i’m not there to sell you something
i’m here to tell you
what’s best for you
i wake up every morning like this
it’s an endless wheel
over and over and over and over again
Couplet 1
look, a shiny new thing
tick tock, believe in me
here, comes, self, love
oh it’s a false alarm
forty-four (forty-four)
the only way to be worth a damn
Pre-Breakdown
abundant queens circle
let’s jump the fuck up
Couplet 2
sailing the seas we’re the lost
six months, give me a break
here, comes, self, love
that’s not a false alarm
look out the storm, we’re sinking
oh yeah
Manifeste
she who dares to plunge into the abyss
in this hot, moonlit, summer night
what she started as a nimble attempt
at swimming, transformed into…
consciously paralyzed
from your fear of depths
i’m feasting, you’re in
what we ancient watery ones call
the maw
Outro
i’m not scared anymore

in your sheets, no room to breathe
possessed by this symphony

do you ever recall the exact moment when you’re falling asleep?
every little sacred helpless moments of your life
are burned
Refrain 2
i can’t find my homeland’s

the book’s still in your closet
where you and I are one now
close your eyes and wait for
the burning puppets, they come

presumably revelling in everything
looking forward ain’t vocabulary

the void, the irrelevance
the crumbs of your wariness

rugs splattered into collective memories
bite the hand tricking your selfless apathy
believe in yourself, the latest fantasy

curse through your history
there’s no authenticity
the midnight society
burns all the
altars

engulf all the elements
the void, the irrelevance
the crumbs of your wariness
spiralling downwards
curse through your history
there’s no authenticity

Couplet 1 (Clara)
quel esti de perte de temps…
pourquoi est-ce que je serais là pour moi-même?
toujours et toujours en attente du futur
à la poursuite de l’inatteignable
constamment débordée
parce que si j’avais vraiment le temps de réfléchir
j’réaliserais peut-être que j’suis vide
à quel degré ça me brûle de vivre avec le bruit de mes pensées
je vais déborder
dans la plus silencieuse des radiances.
au plus profond d’moi
je sais que j’ai peur de me regarder en face
j’ai peur de ce que je pourrais entendre si j’écoutais mes pensées
Refrain 1
walking ‘til my feet are hurting
walking ‘til i forget i am
walking ‘til i am exhausted
cut by the sand
Couplet 2 (Steven)
je suis exténué, assommé, fatigué
c’est un sentiment que j’arrive pas à décrire
est-ce que je peux m’en réjouir?
ça me donne envie d’écrire, de parler, de partager mes pensées
j’suis complètement désorienté
je ne sais pas comment me repérer
je ne sais plus où aller
les obstacles sur mon chemin
m’empêchent d’atteindre mes fins
et semble rendre mes efforts vains
je dois survivre à ce venin
ce venin qu’est ma vie
ce venin qu’est ma vie
Refrain 2
walking ‘til my feet are hurting
walking ‘til i forget i am
walking ‘til i am exhausted
cut by the sand
Breakdown 1
not enough
not enough
not enough
you’re not enough
Breakdown 2
i know i’m just tired
but it always feels like
it would be so much simple
if everything wasn’t painful
when i’m going insane
out of the pain that grows in my veins
i wish i could step out
step out of everything
out of the thoughts
out of the doubts
out of my brain
out of my life
Outro
i’m done, i’m done
