01. Swing Of The Airwaves

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
Standing at the edge of the world
I still fail to see what's out there for me
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Is there anybody listening?

We're all emotional radios
Human aerials in oblivion
Calling all stations until transmission ends
I am here

Standing in the swing of the airwaves
Circling the square I was locked in
Step right in, it feels like being born again

Waving down the drain through static and chatter
Peel away the shame and noise will surrender
Disconnection failure and no consolation
When nothing could avail your misinterpretation
Link the dots between my dashes and your silences
Your time is running out as you are running out of promises
Read between the lines

We're all emotional radios
Human aerials in oblivion
Calling all stations until transmission ends
I still hear the chokes on your shotguns
Your back's to the wall we are all a loss of signal
An oblivious call to all stations until transmission ends
I am here

Standing in the swing of the airwaves
Circling the square I was locked in
Step right in, it feels like being born again

02. Feel Alive

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
I won't ask you why you're not smiling
Ask no question hear no lies
And your familiar tedious storyline is splitting our sides
But maybe it's time for you to find new colors
To radiate your own splendor
As the ugly girl who blames the mirror

Let me draw the lines of this world falling down
While you cry and you soar on your glorious road
We fought your lies, your chloroform
So long, let the wolves come
I'm already gone

Shine on little soldier
With your revolution smoldered in
Your familiar tedious storyline, wasting our time
But we're all gone now and remember
We'll be the flowers blooming on your gravestone

Unleash the wolves
Let them come

If you really want to look beyond this wall
Wait here for the punchline
All the lines are drawn
Unleash the wolves
Come
I'll keep holding on
But I don't want to die
Before I figure out some way to feel alive

Unleash the wolves

03. Porcelain

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
Show me what
I have been missing
All this time
Echoes were right
Only thinking about yourself
Pixilate
Show me the way

Through the blue

Throwing stones
In your house of glass
Roll the dice
Echoes were right
Only thinking about yourself
Pixilate
Show me the way

Say what you're really
Looking for
And everything you ever
Wanted
When what you're really looking for
Breaks before your
Very eyes

Say you're really looking for
Everything you ever
Wanted
What you're really looking for
Breaks before your
Very eyes

Keep your eyes wide open

04. Black Over Gold

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
Secrets buried safe and sound
Tell me stories of thrones and crowns
You said all of this would be mine

Shimmering in silver dots
I hear a siren calling my name
She says choice is always yours

It doesn't matter much to you or to me
Whether we die on the land or on the sea
The sun will shine, a thousand rains will fall
But your generous grave will hide us all
Rip me open to see in front of me
Immerse me and all I know
What is untold is worth all the gold in the world

Sink with your hopes, burn with the city
I will follow the trail of this banshee calling me
This time, choice is only mine

It doesn't matter much to you or to me
Whether we die on the land or on the sea
The sun will shine, a thousand rains will fall
In your generous grave we'll unfold

I'll stay in here with you
Hold my hand, I won't let you
Drown in their plea for silence
But I know, what is untold
Is worth all the gold in the world

05. Overhead

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
They strive to be gracious
You find a good reason for salting your wounds
I'm none of the above
So busy you are passing off ignorance as wisdom
See me on your way down
Wake me when you kiss the ground
Falling from your cloud

Let's try to be truthful
I found a good reason for salting your wounds
Coming from above
Save me on your way down
Wake me when you kiss the ground
I'm waiting for the rain to take me away

Now I know one day will come
We'll walk as one under the same sun
Raise your head up, forget the jury
Become the rain and come dance with me

Now stop and look around
When nothing's a given we laugh at your cries
Above and beyond

An invitation to leave me alone
As time passes by get back on your cloud
See me on your way down
Embrace me and we'll kiss the ground
Wait here, wish for the rain to take you away
Rain, please take me away

Been here, done that, and after all
We all bow down before the same sun
Raise your head up, forget the jury
Become the rain and come dance with me

06. Tidal

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
When you throw me the stone
Listen for the ripples
The curls you will carelessly spawn
For they will cover your moans with the solemn low
Irresistible laugh of the undertow

Your world turned upside down
I swear I could feel you
I swear I could feel you from afar
Tearing your insides out
Never thought I would see you
Thought I would see you cry

Bask in your scorn
Feel the punch on your jaw
You're a coveted feast of self-pity and woe
With each stride you melt into the foam and the drift
I'm the black ride prowling under your feet

Your world turned upside down
I swear I could feel you
I swear I could feel you from afar
Tearing your insides out
Never thought I would see you
Thought I would see you crying out loud

Carry the fire inside you
The colors we unearthed are slowly turning blue

07. Rainbow Ruse

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
Spare me your affliction
And abandon your own
Beliefs and believers taking control of
The way they all watch your sun enlighten their lives
Just blame it on the situation

Stand where I am and remember your aim
No apology
Read in me from the mud on your lands
Save one last breath, should you choke to your death
Cold is cutting through
Reading you from the blood in the palm of your hands

Quick to judge me yet so slow to understand
Slit your grudge and anger on what lingers on

Craving for attention
In your delusion
Your beliefs and believers taking control of
The way they all watch your sun enlighten their lives
Through mystics and messiahs
Art of persuasion, blame it on the situation
On the wolf in the sheepfold deciding who should live or die

Stand where I am and remember your aim
No apology
Read in me from the mud on your lands
Save one last breath, should you choke to your death
Cold is cutting through
Reading you from the blood in the palm of your hands

Quick to judge me, yet so slow to understand
Slit your grudge and anger on what lingers on

08. Hesitation Waltz

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
Dry lips, nothing can satisfy this bitter taste of denial
Of breathing a life that isn't yours
But where the souvenir tastes fine

Swallow a pride you call your own
And fight the thought that beauty knows
That your shell is hollow and the rest should follow
Just stay away from the noise

Stay away from the noise

Avoiding the light that burns your eyes
Playing this comedy you despise
Untouched, but covered with your lies
Safe in a drawer where the souvenir tastes fine
Swallow your pride, you can call it your own
If you stay away from the fire

Stay away from the fire

Please tell me something that I don't already know
To the sound of the violin, the sliding bow on an open wound

Please tell me something that I don't already know
I'll tell you a story nobody ever wished telling you

Please tell me something that I don't already know
I could wish you peace or love or whatever's pleasing you

If there is something that you should already know
We're caught in the whirl and all we have left is
Noise

09. Falling From The Sun

Music & lyrics by Nicolas Chapel
I stare at the rain
Tiny drops rolling on and down the windowpane
And as cliche as it sounds
I cannot help thinking about the way it had to end

When all is said and done
Falling from the sun

Appease me somehow
Hollow wraith shading, only memories remain
Every cliche has its day
I cannot help thinking about the brighter things lying ahead

And all is said and done
Falling from the sun

But I was falling for the sun in you
For giving me a whisper
Falling from the sun
Irradiate me in a whisper

Falling for the sunrise glowing on your face
In one last glance
For one caress
In one last breath

But now please turn off the light
Would you
