Was standing at the window
One gray December morning
My breath quickly fogued the glass
Couldn’t fully distinguish
But You seemed to walk away
As if you weren’t coming back
One thousand times foreseen foot steps
At the pace of an unforgiving heart
Was standing at the window
looking the other way
As the fog slowly became crystal
From staring at your fading silhouette
Young lovers and a stroller
Could barely make their way
Through the now snowy streets
How I wish it wasn’t Sunday
Was staring in the window
Diving in my sinking eyes
Facing what looked like a pale shadow
But no one at my side
See through all these years
I never quite got to know
Who i am, had become
The light of you like a blinding halo
I was blowing to the window
Having it become a frozen garden
Making sure all that it showed
Couldn’t come through anymore
Shutting down a cold heart
I make my nails scratch through
The fog of yet another Sunday
How I wish you'll never go away
Ever since I was a kid
I used to wonder
why the fuck every Sunday evening
Needed to be like this
I used to whistle at the window
To try and understand
What the world would make me undergo
If today, outside I went
And behind the glass somewhat lonely
I was standing still in discomfort
Hold your breath
Ever since I was a kid
I used to wonder
why the fuck every Sunday evening
Needed to be like this

Friends

Teens filled with muted dreams
That Your smile made possible
Shattered boy in search of new
Opened my eyes to let them through
Sometimes sad were the dreams
How I wish words were made easy
Blinded boy in search of you
Closed my eyes to not follow through
It sometimes hurt so hard
Many times I cried alone
Wish We hadn’t torn us appart
But life had a few twists it hadn’t shone
Mais tu sais bien que je serai toujours ici
Et si là-bas je n’y suis pas, toujours au fond de nos têtes on s’y retrouvera
Young Adults filled with questions
Around me, so many awkward mouths smiled
Shattered toys in search of old
When new lips tried to erase the memory of you
Mais tu sais bien que je serai toujours là
Et si ici je ne suis pas, toujours au fond de nos têtes on s’y retrouvera
It’s been so hard to live without you
Next to me, close to we
I’ve been so far, away and back
Conquering empty dreams
Adults filled with dreams
Your smile making it complete
The then shattered boy broke through
Became a man lucky to still have you
It’s been so hard to live without you
Next to me, close to we
I’ve been so far, away and back
Conquering empty dreams

Stained

Just let us die peacefully
Without a word or an excuse
A white flag keeps waving
We deserve that truce
Let us fade silently
What more have we got to prove
Clap your hands and follow me
We lost all we had to lose
Let us die suddenly
Without saying a long goodbye
And break that bond that suffocates
Both of us inside
Let us cry happily
the car windows rolled down
As little pearls we shall become
The person each of us found
Let us live honestly
The life we have broken for years
Everyday then tomorrow
Shall we leave behind old tears
Let’s all laugh finally
At this unforgiving pressure
To justify unwillingly
The lack of simple pleasures
Both waiting for one of us to pull the trigger
A little tare on my skull
Under requests to change
So tired to yell and brawl
Words held back with disdain
Torn treasures inside my skull
Under a sea of rage
So tired to wail and fall
My heart feels slained
Away from one another
Some love pertains
Won’t erase the memories
All this wasn’t in vain
And while I still love bits of you
So many pieces are stained

A mid-April Monday
Another work morning like many
Sitting in a room full of people
By his boss he had to be seen
Wasn’t sure of what to expect
Why at this time and so abruptly
As he now sat in a different room
Three pairs of eyes staring with scrutiny
They had come with a message, without a smile
That was to put his life upside down
Back home sitting securely on his couch
The walls around him just like a prison
Contemplating emptiness in disbelief
Had yet to know what he was becoming
Digging and clawing at his mind
Inspecting anything that he could find
Now labeled as the worst this planet has to offer
Lies tried to be shoved down his throat
As those images and sentences were pulling him deeper
Dignity was all he had left to help him float
Sitting on the couch of the living room
His lips sealed to protect so many from shame
Left alone, beaten up and bruised
On his mind, the scars will never leave him the same
You almost had me to my knees
Made loved ones doubt and fear me
I’m sure you’ve endured so much already
During this short span of time on this planet
How have you become so angry
Hope one day you get to shine like a comet
I want to wish you well
Even if it pains me more than everything
Hope you’ll escape the hell
You’ve been through, if anything

Growing Up

You know these great people on which we pray
Just like them, I’d sometimes like to be
We hear they change the world most of the days
I tried to change myself, couldn’t quite reach
I saw your eyes grow up
Sometimes I saw them looking down
You know all those books we used to read
Together dreaming elsewhere we could be
I saw your eyes grow up
Now looking at the sky over me
Modeled myself in a role
In a story that was untold
In vain
My hero’s cape has a hole
Sometimes stoped me from being there Everyday
All these people living to be seen
Just like them I pray you’ll never be
I saw your minds grow up
I hope you reach your dreams before me
Modeled myself in a role
In a story that was untold
In vain
My hero’s cape has a hole
Sometimes stoped me from being there Everyday
I love you so much the same
I sometimes hide how proud I am
I have done my best most days
Beautiful humans you’ve made
A role model I hoped I could be
But I’m sure you’ll make it without me
Reach as far as your heart can feel
Remember even super heroes have bad weeks

Voices

Is it a whisper you are hearing
Those voices seem to crawl inside your head
Invading the space left, taking control
When you're so right but no one else can know
So I've noticed you've been gone for a while
Left the conversation, yet standing there
As empty words made my lips move
You seemed to be staring at the truth
and you said
I was talking to the trees
Please don't hold me back
My mind is like a kite
Let me drift away
I just know I'll just be ok
Is it a whisper you are hearing
Those voices seem to crawl inside your head, again
Invading the space left, taking control
When you're so right but no one else can know
And you said
I was just reading your mind
The storms at times they stay
When lightning strikes please keep away
Won't hurt you anyways
I just want to reach the sun don't be afraid
Don't be afraid...

One winter evening, waiting on St-Denis
Was getting anxious and hesitant to meet
Inside my head, many reasons to flee
When I saw your face, just had to go see
Had that feeling you were so special
As the evening faded, to become night
I was still on the fence, looking away
Kidnapped me in your car, I lost sight
Since then, we’ve never parted ways
This book we’ve been putting together
We haven’t really discussed the bindings
Words landing on one another
Sentences shuffled by the wind
This story we’re writing it together
One chapter to the other changing
Drawing images we’ll both remember
Even if they leave us crying
Even if they leave us crying
If twenty is a number that amounts to nothing
Then all these adventures we had from fall to spring
Have yet to conclude this ongoing fling
Hope « I love you » are the last words I’ll say dying
We’ve travelled many seas together
Through thick and thin
Many suns and moons have shined
On our aging skins
Young at heart however
A saviour you’ve been
Your beauty still has me blinded
From the outside in.
From the outside in
If twenty’s a number that amounts to nothing
Then all these aventures we had from fall to spring
Have yet to conclude this ongoing fling
Hope « I love you » are the last words I’ll say dying
Stay with me for a while
Another twenty years
And maybe twenty more
Time with you just flies by
I never would’ve wanted
To live this with somebody else
