She was unconscious, on the floor. The room was covered with strange paintings, same kind of color everywhere. I tried to wake her, she emerged slowly ...
- Hi.
Hi…
- Do you know who I am ?
I guess I have already seen you before
- Long time no see.
…
- Do you remember your name ?
…
- Any family ?
I had before…
- Parents ?
Gone... long time ago…
- Brothers and sisters ?
none…
- Friends ?
…not sure of what it is…

My color palette is steamed
My broken easel is dimmed
The color vortex has faded
All is turning black and grey
All is Grey I never ask to be alone
All is dark I never ask them to be gone
No more Purple I never ask to turn the wheel
No more Red I never doubt this to be real, I never...
I am you and you are me
I'm in you and you're in me
We will live all your life together
We will, I promise
Look at you, you're empty
The time has come to set free
Feel no fear, just rage
it's time to turn the page
Let your strength take control
Let me invade your soul
The both of us is enough
This is the real stuff
I will, I promise
I am you and you are me
I'm in you and you're in me
We will live all your life together
We will, I promise
I promise

Come my friend, and play with me
It's our secret, you and me
They can't understand the bind between us
You're a part of me
Even if I forget, you're inside
I feel it in their eyes
I know there's something wrong with me
I can't believe their lies
I know they are ashamed of me
I may be their so-called angel
I am too different from them all
Divergent
Come my friend, and hide with me
Let's play outside, out of sight
We can talk about us, they cannot hear us
But keep your distance,
And stay safe right here inside
I feel it in their eyes
I know there's something wrong with me
I can't believe their lies
I know they are ashamed of me
I may be their so-called angel
I am too different from them all
Divergent

Strange behavior
Lost in town
Maze of mind
Host ? No answer
Connection lost
Roam in town
Maze of mind
Lost in time

Disharmonic disillusion

Wasted moments
A whole life not to face the truth
Time goes by and nothing changes
She's not alone
Next to others
She's so scared to face them all
Time goes by and nothing changes
She's so alone
Here I stand, no offence
Does this make any sense ?
Grey fear, anxiety
Face the truth, world of madness
Does this make any sense ?
Come closer, enjoy the defining moment
This will be nice, they said.
Many friends you’ll have.
Don’t fear those new faces, they'll change your life…
Say hello to your new life
Say goodbye to the bliss
Say hello to the new you
Say goodbye to the happy you
Say hello to your new life
Say goodbye to the bliss
Say hello to the new you
Say goodbye to the happy you

Desolate, as usual she stands, mindless
Isolated, staring into space, thoughtless
Desolate, as usual she walks, mindless
Provocating, the voice is mocking her, heartless
- Kitten of the city
This guy is out for me
- Does he just look at me ?
Do your eyes are silly ?
Or what it means to me ?
- Am I becoming pretty ?
(She’ll be back, won’t she ?)
- he noticed me for sure.
you really need a cure
- no longer be alone
never been on your own...
ever since she is gone
- his eyes could not be lying.
It's to you, you're lying
This could not be a dream No !
My life finally gleams I'm not lying at all !
Don't relapse, never collapse Please leave me alone !
This is not fantasy No !
This is no reverie I'm not lying at all !
Don't relapse Please leave me alone ! Alone...
Can you please stop belittle me ? Seriously, be positive for once.
Something good is happening to me.
But this is clearly what it's all about, nothing is happening to you...
- he noticed you for sure.
I really need a cure
- no longer be alone ?
never been on my own...
ever since she is gone
- his eyes could not be lying.
It's to me, you're lying
No !
I'm not lying at all !
Please leave me alone !
No !
I'm not lying at all !
Please leave me alone !
Alone...
This could not be a dream No !
My life finally gleams I'm not lying at all !
Don't relapse, never collapse Please leave me alone !
This is not fantasy No !
This is no reverie I'm not lying at all !
Don't relapse, never collapse Please leave me alone ! Alone...

The missing one
03:29

there's a place that I do miss, kingdom of bliss
there's a pain that I can't hide, it overflows with all my mind
there's a need I can't support anymore
there's a voice that I do miss, I'm not allowed to hear it again
it was synonymic of joy, of happiness
its vibrations reassured us, we could not be reached by sadness
as an old and sacred power, protecting us
as an invisible strength, which gave us a strong faith in life
Song for K. and all those who left

Angel

Angel ? Come here Angel...come here...
Why did you let me all alone ?
With our girl to be grown
With the pain I cannot hide
With the shame, I cannot lie
Worst, in vain, I try to hold
Anger not to be told
I can't reach her demands
She'll suffer from my hands
Dear daddy, I can't bear it more
Tears, knocks, nothing more goes
My frail body won't hold any more
Does god agree with that?
At school, they begin to have doubts
I try to numb them all
But they want a meeting with you
Does god agree with you ?
Bruises, hematoma, black mark, injury
I wish you could still be there to protect me from his fury
To put to sleep the beast inside, the monster
I wish you could still be there to keep the gate of infancy
To put to sleep the beast inside, the monster
How dare you think such things of me ?
I sacrificed my life for you
How could you do this to me ?
I can't bear it more...my Angel
Come here Angel...
I wish you could still be there to protect her from my fury
to put to sleep the beast inside
I wish you could still be there to protect her from my fury
to put to sleep the beast inside...my monster
