The Perpetual Motion

A broken window, An open door, A cold wind blowing, Some leaves strewn about the floor, Rain drops falling down from the ceiling, A wall with cracking paint Something dead in the sink Is this world lost? Where’s common sense? Nothing more to say I cannot believe my eyes! Is this world a ghost, A dead man waiting, A forgotten king? I can not believe my eyes! (I don’t know!) I’m out of breath Is that the better life that you promised? I’m out of breath I don’t want to realize it is hopeless Are better days to come? Is that life changing? Will I find my breath again? I feel drained I feel drained From fighting fears each day I feel drained I feel drained Who could accept to live this way? I’m so tired of feeling ashamed Of living this way

I can’t hide Myself from this terrible Feeling of Frustration that finally led me out Of reality, leaving Me without strength. How can I face myself? It’s growing Inside my mind A threat I can not define This strange feeling screams, Deafening as a Horn, Since the day I was born Shall I stop And try to face it Burning in stifling heat? I’m on my knees What the hell is that thing? It is unrelenting This is the sad story Of a boy in love with apathy But feel no mercy my friends The boy will ask for help until the end of time I’m feeling sad I’m feeling sick I’m feeling bad But I’m too weak to face this decline It is always by my side This feeling’s driving me mad And now I can only implore But they don’t want to give me the love I’m begging for In their eyes I can see The spite and the growing anger toward me But what else can I do for them? I do my best, it’s true I’m not able to live on my own So please just leave me alone What the hell can I do for them If I don’t feel ashamed? This is the sad story… Of a boy in love with apathy

I can’t get rid of it So stained by my own thoughts Because today I’m just a beggar

And I feel myself so close To this lost boy that we blame He is so weak Yeah we have all felt the same He’d like us to forgive Every mistake he made But we can’t accept him acting like a child Is there someone left to help him To listen to his complaints? Everybody’s run away From this fearful young man Who cannot stay alone But what else can we say? “It is time to become a Man” And now that it’s over Have you forgotten what happened ? We’ve been through some many things So many memories you can’t bury Now do you realise The things you’ve done? But what else could we’ve said? At that time, you went too far my friend.

It’s been a while Since I made my decision, got to this conclusion But I still can’t realise (I)’ve got to open my eyes (I)’ve got to open my eyes Now it’s getting too close I don’t feel ready to lose My current life Tomorrow I’ll become a father Farewell! Present is now turning to past, my time’s just run out too fast “Not responsible” Keep that picture in your mind I can’t be young forever I Can’t be young forever So be it A gate opening to a totally different life from now on Tomorrow I will cherish my own child, my very first son So be it How could this new life not be worth while? Now it’s getting too close I don’t feel ready to lose My current Tomorrow I’ll become a father Tomorrow I’ll become an “elder” This new life, this new life, As fascinating as scary, This new life’s been made for me.

Wake up. A new day has come, Bringing new fears. It’s time to face the crowd. Outside the sky is wearing grey, The clothes are worn, Colours faded away. I wish I could stay standing. I wish I could stay strong. But I can’t stand on my own. Everyday life, everyday death, A strength forever gone. (The) outside world reveals my distress, Dead man walking the streets Doing a senseless job to live Perpetual motion of fears Buried alive : everyday life Those feelings of confinement Bring me down Six feet underground Help me Because I can’t stand upright today

How could I’ve fallen so low? What tortuous ways could lead me here, But is that really unfair? Would I be able to say “I’m sorry”? What kind of man am I really? Will I one day find again My will to Be? How many years did I waste? How many chances did I miss? I don’t want to count them anymore 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8… I thought I did my best But I still lost control I can’t stop this endless fall Yes I fall down constantly Have all my friends deserted me? How could I’ve fallen so low? I don’t know! I can’t stand this idea Am I too blind to see That I always did my best To stay fair, to stay right? It didn’t seem to be enough Now I’m lost in the night.

By the way, The more I think about this sad story The more I feel deceived Couldn’t I have been betrayed, After all? Anyway, I understand that things have changed in your life Should I feel guilty about that? No I won’t come maskless Anymore… All this time, I did my best To protect my integrity But it’s a lost cause now. My will to believe in humanity Simply sank and faded away The vanishing pride of a mortal man Everyday Since this evening of torment This bloody argument, I felt so guilty And evil

Now (I) feel so angry I know I’d better calm down But this feeling’s too strong I’m on my own My friends How did we get in this situation? Let’s face Our mistakes through this confusion Now I ask myself How such a friendship could break down? After so many years, did we come undone? Am I on my own? Will we be able to Find a new way to feel Trust, love, sympathy in pain As we did before So now what’s the next step? Will we try to rebuild ourselves? Will I be on my own? Please stay by my side, So many things have changed, In our way of life. I want to hope that we can stay close. Let’s gather together To earn what we’ve got What we’ll get.

I’m walking back home In this cold night I’m walking alone I’ve never gone this way before Maybe I was wrong When I made this decision I should have listened to Your recommendations The way I always did before But everything has changed tonight Tormented by spite, I don’t know if I’m wrong or right And now that I’m lost in these fields Frightened by my own shadow I regret what happened How could you let me go? You gathered so many stars In front of me Our life seemed to be fine As far as I can remember Even if you blinded me, Even if you lied to me, Even if you betrayed me, Don’t abandon me!

Let’s get in the ring It’s time for the match to begin Are you ready? So let’s start the fight It’s time to get in the spotlight And spill blood Is that the way you prove To your friends that you’re a man? Don’t you think that’s pathetic? Really ? What did you just say? Don’t apologise, you’re dead anyway Are you ready? So let’s start to fight It’s time to get in the spotlight And spill blood I’m bleeding and bleeding still, Even if it hurts, I want to stand “You know, it’s like an old song, a sad fairytale Punches and kicks remind me of wolves, witches and ghosts. But… I think I’m losing my mind, I had better wake up Let’s get in the ring !
