mad madame mim Silencieuse toutes ces années

Excuse-moi mais puis-je être toi pour quelques temps
Mon chien ne mordra pas si tu restes vraiment calme
Il y a l'Antechrist dans la cuisine criant après moi encore
Oui, je peux l'entendre

Je suis encore sauvée par le camion-benne
J'ai quelque chose à dire mais rien ne vient
Oui, je sais ce que tu penses de moi car tu te ne tais jamais
Oui, je peux l'entendre

Et alors si je suis une sirène habillée de ses jeans
Avec son nom encore inscrit dedans
Mais je m'en moque parce que parfois (j'ai dit parfois) j'entends ma voix
Et elle a été ici silencieuse toutes ces années

Alors tu as trouvé une fille aux pensées profondes
Est-ce que des pensées profondes sont si stupéfiantes?
Garçon, tu ferais bien de prier afin que je saigne très prochainement
Qu'est-ce que tu penses de cette idée?
Mon cri a été perdu dans une tasse en papier
Tu penses qu'il y a un paradis où ces cris sont allés
J'ai 25 dollars et un biscuit
Trouves-tu que ce soit suffisant pour aller là-bas?

Les années s'écoulent, et attendrai-je encore quelqu'un
qui me comprend
Les années s'écoulent, si je suis dépouillée de ma beauté
et les nuages oranges pleuvent dans ma tête
Les années s'écoulent, si je m'étrangle avec des larmes
jusqu'à ce qu'il ne me reste plus rien
Encore une victime, sais-tu que ça nous est totalement égals?

(We're too easy: we don't care enough about those victims)

Alors, j'aime comme nous communiquons
Tes yeux se concentrent sur la forme curieuse de mes lèvres
Fais-moi entendre ce que tu penses de moi
Mais mon chéri, ne lève pas les yeux
Le ciel tombe

Ta mère arrive, habillée d'une robe dégoutante
Et maintenant c'est à toi de rester debout
Où je suis debout moi-même
Tout le monde te regarde,
Prends-moi par la main,
Oui, je peux les entendre...

COLDandBLUEkitty Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My DOG won't bite if you sit real still
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that

Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but NOTHING comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you

My scream got lost in a paper cup
You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice and it's been
HERE silent all these

Years go by will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my head
Years go by will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we're to EASY easy easy

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now but baby don't look up
The sky is falling

Your MOTHER shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you here take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them

But what if I'm a mermaid
In these jeans of his with her name still on it
Hey but I don't care
Cause sometimes I said sometimes I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
And it's been HERE silent all these years
I've been here silent all these years
Silent all these
Silent all these years

*Ziima* As the years go by, I am stripped of my beauty.... 010212

unhinged physical maybe, but personal can only grow 010212

mags personal beauty doesn't always grow (unfortunately). No one would become psychopaths, killers, rapists or suicidal for that sake if that was true. I suppose. 030122

Syrope she likes adventure with security
and more than one man can provide
she planned adventure feeling sure that he
would not be home til after 5
he turned on the lights and turned them off again
and said the one thing he could say:

all these years
where have i been?
well i've been down the road to work and home again
and i'm still here
until i'm gone
don't you rub it in too hard
that i've been wrong
all these years

she said you're not the man you used to be
and he said neither is this guy
she said there's some things you refuse to see
but i guess sometimes so do i
she made no excuse why she was lying there
she said the one thing she could say:

after all these years
what have i done?
i made your supper, and your daughter and your son
still i'm here
and still confused
but i can finally see how much i stand to lose
all these years.

i'm still here
i'm so confused
but i can finally see how much i stand to loose
all these years
