B i o g r a p h y
 (by Marcy Donelson)

Mixing dreamy atmospheres, wistful extended chords, and funky, low-key dance grooves, Men I Trust is the brainchild of then-Laval University music students Dragos Chiriac and Jessy Caron. The Montreal, Canada D.I.Y. project made its full-length debut with Men I Trust in 2014. While the duo's first two albums employed a variety of guest vocalists, singer Emmanuelle Proulx has been an official member since 2015. Their third studio album, 2019's Oncle Jazz, was long-listed for 2020 Polaris Music Prize. Untourable Album followed in 2021 and was ultimately accompanied by a tour.

Dragos Chiriac (keyboards) and Jessy Caron (bass/guitar) first met while in high school in the mid-2000s, but it wasn't until they ran into each other again in 2012 at Laval University that they decided to collaborate. Chiriac was there working on a master's degree in audio post-production; Caron was wrapping up a bachelor's degree in jazz guitar. They eventually worked up an Italo disco track together, liked the results, and decided to start a project that would feature guest singers. For the next few years, their productions contributed to Chiriac's master's and then Ph.D., which also helped them have access to recording, mixing, and mastering equipment.

In 2013, the pair met Odile Marmet-Rochefort, who was studying classical voice. She eventually joined them in the studio to record "Introit," improvising the melody on the spot. It appeared on Men I Trust's eponymous debut, released in May 2014. She was one of several singers featured on the album and credited by their first names. It created some buzz locally, charting and receiving radio play. In mid-2015, the project returned with Headroom, featuring some of the same vocalists, including Marmet-Rochefort as well as newcomer Emmanuelle Proulx, both of whom had begun touring with Men I Trust and were made members. With Headroom, the group began to win spots on high-profile streaming playlists and social media charts.

Over the next couple of years, Men I Trust issued a string of singles, beginning with "Humming Man" and "Lauren" in the first half of 2016. That year, they also appeared at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, M for Montreal, and POP Montreal, as well as festivals in Toronto, Shanghai, and Beijing. Songs like 2017's "Tailwhip" and 2018's "Show Me How" went on to earn millions of plays at streaming sites. After a 2018 North American tour that saw them performing at Coachella, Men I Trust released their third long-player, Oncle Jazz, in September 2019. It made the long list for the next year's Polaris Music Prize.

A live album, Forever Live Sessions, followed in mid-2020 shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The group delivered their fourth studio effort, Untourable Album, in August 2021, though they were able to launch a North American tour that September.

Men I Trust

A Cycle

(Feat. Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Dreaming of enhanced feelings
Words with no loss of meaning
Known limits shall give away
Fresh apples that won't decay
Breathing craft and will

Sun pursues eternal extols
Rotating spheres, shifting poles
Deposed kings and queens
Against new competing machines
Standing marveled... in awe

Massive tides carefully smooth domains
Nature reveals itself to mankind again
Cirrhosis removed from patient men
Who dare... come back flesh and bone
To reclaim the world as their own

Dazed

(Feat. Geoffroy Sauvé)

Like an alchemist or an engineer
I used to think of potions in my diaries
To improve the flow of my inner gear
Speeding up my nature inquiries

Moulded the vision I had of our sphere
Through meditation and observation
A social fabric tangible and clear
My disembodied thoughts in station

Knowing you
I had a feeling of indulging your tonic
Holding you
It made me drift from my prior logic

Knowing you
I had a feeling of indulging your tonic
Holding you
It made me drift from my prior logic

Extend the scope of my findings
Classifying them; a scattered thread
Scouted for more despite my failing tidings
A mere haul for the freight of my head

Reached the threshold of my with
Where the whole seems badly heated
And judgements of value aren't fit
I realized this spring was depleted

Knowing you
I had a feeling of indulging your tonic
Holding you
It made me drift from my prior logic

Knowing you
I had a feeling of indulging your tonic
Holding you
It made me drift from my prior logic

Stay True

(Feat. Helena Deland)

I have these thoughts going on in my head
My hopes are placed in some future ahead
My finite means tune the world to its will
My higher verb is forever fulfilled

I contemplate this immortal outcome
A timeless trace of future times to come
I know I'm more than the span my life
I know I'm more than my own local strife

If I live old
To see my grey days
My heart will stay true - and forever young
This minute of gold
I won't let it daze
Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain

If I live old
To see my grey days
My heart will stay true - and forever young
This minute of gold
I won't let it daze
Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain

A Prayer

(Feat. Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

This night my sole appeal
I have a claim to your zeit
Foresaw this ideal
How would it feel right

Hold my verb for true
Trust we're both kin
Saw myself through you
Past both flesh and skin

May this imprudent plea
Reach all created spheres
My finite self dares agree
With the cyclic gears

May this imprudent plea
Reach all created spheres
My finite self dares agree
With the cyclic gears

Formed to nature's will
I ought to venture still
My core systoles
Cause boundless diastoles

My transmuted self
Orbits divine spheres
Shadows creating cells
Suits my nature here

May this imprudent plea
Reach all created spheres
My finite self dares agree
With the cyclic gears

May this imprudent plea
Reach all created spheres
My finite self dares agree
With the cyclic gears

System

(Feat. Gabrielle & Marie-Renée)

Status: cold
Eager inclinations
Status: old
Cumulus frustrations
Status: near
Witness your fate bud
Status: sphere
Looping my blue blood

Prospect: wait
Still thirsty for more
Prospect: faith
As my nature soars
Prospect: none
Hold to the few I own
Prospect: one
For ever unknown

If you ever wonder
Men are still near their system
In a somnolent condition
Waiting for a turn

If you ever wonder
Men are still near their system
In a somnolent condition
Waiting for a turn

System: slash
Tissues crack
System: ash
Geist hold back
System: sealed
Widen soul
System: healed
Guide new whole

Endless Strive

(Feat. Thomas)

I have encountered in my course
Many open-minded folks
And often, they would friend
The journey, but not its end

Against the scholar disgrace
Too abstract for their taste
They'd rather think body and mind
A whole stoutly combined

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

I noticed their despair
None were truly aware
The sacrifice implied
Mistakenly applied

Reminding me asceticism
A self-refusing idealism
That someone should pursue
An endless strive for truth

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature's prized truths

Extatic Memoirs

(Feat. James & Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

My sight shall reach past the ruthless dunes
A solitary raven as my sole mate
Whose intentions towards me
I allow myself to doubt
As everyone here is by their own

Small unfortunate seeds champion
Against an unwilling stormy climate
Where venomous predators luxuriate
I therefore brace myself
While I have my last sip

I've been on many traveling caravans
With experienced and spirited folks
We kept our eyes vigilant
For danger preys each turn
I can't afford to let them down

I am now one in this vast wasteland
My leather boots burn my weary feet
Meditating my next crucial move
Disdaining the liquid salt on my eyebrows
My intentions will prevail

Introit

(Feat. Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,
Et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.
Exaudi orationem meam,
Ad te omnis care veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

A Closing Word

(Feat. James)

What is it to be a man?
Is it to be romantic?
Fueling its own nostalgia
With dreams of death in battle
Submitting its body to hard privations
Gaining the curse of martyrdom
Leaving this world in a blind and passionate fashion
In the arms of a consuming mistress
Stupidly jumping off the schlafen berg
Dying on a piano, of an unexpected but inevitable sickness
With a still dripping quill in the left hand
Depicting unbalanced emotions in sheet music
A deforming lens
Aimed at a small fraction of the human catalogue
Or, in the case of our contemporaries
Depicting a long over exploited duality between good and evil
As if the choice was a puzzling dilemma
Attacking a God, killed over three centuries ago
Counter facing the camera you borrowed money to pay for
Implying references to esoteric Delphies
Creating a non existing mystery around oneself
What is it to be a woman?
Being sad on a beach,
A long monologue glorifying impossible loves
Smoking cigarettes with boredom
Enacting its own death in a car accident
Maybe quit it all at 27
Impressing some naive teenagers
Who can't but think that suffering is deep
Clearly, there must be some other themes
Who please both to mind and body
While petitioning for genius and greatness
Maybe give a listen to Fauré and Bach
To the Greeks, Mill, and ironically, the great Goethe
They are all brilliant men who worked hard
... Still, they can't be placed above manly affairs
Because, concerning those, no one ever saw nor heard
They remain interesting as photographs
Which depict some of many human features



Headroom

Morse code

(Feat. Geoffroy Sauvé & Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Night loots us of our time
Hints of defeat through me
Yielding to one final pun,
And shared flashing glaze

But our will stays cloaked
As we take a step back
Our hearts talking low
A fading Morse code

Quick! Says a darting bird
Fierce is nature's way
Trophies bared up high
Strong men do have firm grips

And though I seize the high-prized advise
Distracted by labor and wraiths
Can't set my mind with it
Keeping me away from heap

And our will stays cloaked
As we take a step back
Hearts talking low
A fading Morse code

Break for Lovers

(Feat. Helena Deland)

Let's lay down our masks and be true
So that our eyes be bound in affection
Aware of our lust and our shared trust
We can know each other
And hear nature's words
My dear friend

But let's not talk this through, I used to
'Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home's your own
Until we have each other, we're strangers

I know there's a reason we use such curves
Riddles in smiles rather than small talk
I know we both want things to be done
In a truthful manner
There lies our rest
My dear friend

Let's not talk this through, I used to
'Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home's your own
Until we have each other we're strangers
Let's not talk this through, I used to
'Cause long words widen gaps between lovers
We ought to be lone, my home's your own
Until we have each other, we're strangers
Let's not talk this through

Out In Myself

(Feat. Emma Proulx)

In need of some time out
A haven for insight
Mind a self-aware thought
In dread cabalist night

Relax
Are those thoughts sincere
I Relax
My inner tone is clear
Relax
Are those thoughts sincere
I Relax
Rare witness of my sphere

Loves I found delightful
Poised in any likely way
Pulses I know are joyful
They never caused dismay

I hear a standing rumble
In expansion and contraction
Our mutual awe is subtle
Delicate in higher action

Relax
Are those thoughts sincere
I Relax
My inner tone is clear
Relax
Are those thoughts sincere
I Relax
Rare witness of my sphere

Again

(Feat. Ghostly Kisses)

A trail looks even
Rising with ease
Gradually stretching
In fair daylight view

As cool winds
Bare my vague thoughts
A quiet journey
I embrace again,
Oh I embrace again!

Slowed my pace down
(Somatic burden)
I see a wide sphere
A table I thought

Things now look idle
Leaving reserved
Sparsely aware
Of this new lapse

As cool winds
Bare my vague thoughts
A quiet journey
I embrace again,
Oh I embrace again!

Quiet

(feat. Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Easy and composed
Retired in some place
Containing its mood
From urging its pace

Shoulders and neck
Are much more at rest
When numbers are small
And grasp you, I shall

And then
I breathe
Intone
And I rest

Alone,
I breathe
Intone
And I rest

Fingers clap. Snap!
Was it my turn,
Add my tepid talk
To the rowdy flock

I care only to loose
Myself in reserve
If waves around clash
I leave in mild thoughts

And then
I breathe
Intone
And I rest

Alone,
I breathe
Intone
And I rest

Curious Fish

(Feat. Emma Proulx)

Glass too thick couldn't see through
I've been waiting something new
But it felt true
My heart is true

Curious fish sought distant light
Shiny trophies caught its sight
I fell to love
I'm fond of love

As if limestone wore my heed,
It seemed fair to trust this lead
But it felt true
My heart is true

Blushing means I know too well
Fish meets light from its lone shell
I fell to love
I'm fond of love

Offertorio

(feat. Nicolas Grynzspan)

Hostias et preces tibi, Domine
Laudis offerimus
Tu suscipe pro animabus illis
Quarum hodie memoriam facimus
Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam



Men I Trust

Plain View

You and I we are one
Would you lie with me

You and I we are one
Would you lie with me

You speak In ways
I thought were only mine
You show me otherwise
Keeps me aware
Some thoughts I quell
I know them well
They're only mine to keep
But you see through me

Your friendly presence
Is truly grounding
You calm me
Humbling, but never shaming
Keeps me going on
I'm always on the move
Retreated in my mind
There is my rest

You and I we are one
Would you lie with me

You and I we are one
Would you lie with me

Leaning, way too late,
Thinking over my desk
Body forgets to eat
But not to drink
Work and I love strong
Feeling detached
Seated somewhere near
Five inches behind my sight

Your friendly presence
Is truly grounding
You calm me
Humbling, but never shaming
Keeps me going on
I'm always on the move
Retreated in my mind
There is my rest

Humming Man

Amid the gate, he stares at my door
How long did I see him stay
Days or months, I couldn't say
Yet it bustles me, and what for

I swear I saw him moan
But my window's thick and cloudy
And I won't disdain a sentry's duty
Fleeing my home for venture lone!

Amid the gate, he stares at my door
How long did I see him stay
Days or months, I couldn't say
Yet it bustles me, and what for

That drone haunts me from abroad
A middle tone, a new norm
A safe zone, applauding form
My yard is steep and deep, thank God

You moan
I saw you moan
You moan
I saw you moan

SOK

Stay True

I know I'm more than the span my life
I know I'm more than my own local strife

If I live old
To see my grey days
My heart will stay true - and forever young
This minute of gold
I won't let it daze
Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain

If I live old
To see my grey days
My heart will stay true - and forever young
This minute of gold
I won't let it daze
Catching the fleeing moment bid it remain

Lauren

There's a voice I always trust
Its friendly helping hand tells me leave, I must
Cause I can't stay forever
By my window

Cause I can't stay forever
Cause I can't stay forever

Rather chase a gentle breeze
Set my thoughts by taller trees
Cause I can't stay forever
By my window

Cause I can't stay forever
Cause I can't stay forever

I need whispers that make me move
Riding the country for driving's sake
Sync me within the outside world
So I can better miss my home

Aquarelle

(Feat. Emma Proulx & Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Is your house all made of stone
'Heard the view's quite high but lone
(You're on your own)

Mailman once again hands empty, and mail free
Who won't speak to me
Spotlights pass short thy
Driveway, halfway (halfway)
Who won't dare to stay

'Brought my scarf, won't catch a cold
Place is windy, I've been told
(You're getting old)

'Brought my scarf, won't catch a cold
Place is windy, I've been told

Yes

(Feat. Emma Proulx & Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

I've got this feeling inside me
Lust is burning
Meaning striped and deserted me
Left on my own with my hostile conscience

All these nights were spent working late
I looked for a better fate
I would be altogether over soon
Over the skies for my Japanese exile

A smooth three-sided copper be my way
Twelve times a vigorous yes need I obey
A smooth three-sided copper be my way
Twelve times a vigorous yes need I obey

Middle Points

(Feat. Emma Proulx & Odile Marmet-Rochefort)

Always seems so hard
I try to pay attention
When they speak to me

Find myself „in between”
A state of abdication
What do they want from me

Time’s what they want from me
Saying something pleasing
And appealing, but not to me

Exhausted conversations
Exhausted conversations
Exhausted conversations

Always seems so hard
I try to pay attention
When they speak to me

Full of tasteless debates
And general defences
Shutting down all my senses

Small talk spoken out loud
Where middlе-points are checkpoints
Exhausted convеrsations

Exhausted conversations
Exhausted conversations
Exhausted conversations
Exhausted conversations

My place at home
My place at home
My place at home
My place at home



Oncle Jazz

Norton Commander (All We Need)

My friend, you know you had your time a while
But I'm willing to give you mine
Few things we both have keep us alive
My life and our true love is all we need

All we need
It's all we need
It's all we need

I don't want to feel a world against our love
I don't want to grow old alone and broken heart

We need
It's all we need
It's all we need
It's all we need
All we need
All we need
All we need

Days Go By

Days go by and I still don't know how and why
I still make my way without you, without you
Days go by and I still don't know how and why
I still make my way and hang through, hang through

One more week, losing lottery, oh I
Try to find some sort of mockery, oh I

Days go by and I still don't know how and why
I still make way without you, without you

One more week, losing lottery, oh I
Try to find some sort of mockery, oh I

Tailwhip

I'm happy as I am 'cause I'm leaving
Days will be the same in a different way

Going to a place where I used to stay
Writing something new in this home I know

We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city
We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city

We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city
We'll be all right, stay here some time
Country dog won't die in the city

Right eyelids closed, both feet behind
I aim for tomorrow, work on my mind

Going to a place where I used to stay
Writing something new in this home I know

We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city
We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city

We'll be all right, stay here some time
This country dog won't die in the city
We'll be all right, stay here some time
Country dog won't die in the city

Found Me

Motion blurred dream visions and kindred faces
Thoughts like bursts of youth taking me places
Living the best outcome of myself
‘Cause I do remember where I come from

I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

I feel air from another planet akin
Like a sense of truth that comes from within
A budding sapling reaching through
Giving rise to higher fruit and view

I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty
I’m happy my home found me
By which force I do not know
I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

Numb

Hon', please forgive me if I ever did you wrong
I'll be your candle, burn me upside down
From now on, I won't sleep on my arms
Numb, is how I feel deep inside my soul
Need to feel that I am on the line
I'm sorry that I dragged you down my way

Hon', I never meant to cheat you out of time
In cold mornings when our sheets are warm
I see a flower with no needles on (So far)
Stung, and there's a bee that gave it all away
Pretty eyes now filled with pain
A young confusion, what a shame

Say Can You Hear

Say, can you hear
Is there a meaning to your grief
Where there is pain you see grace
As if sacrifice was a meaningful end in itself
Your trial and error is error and error

Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you're the scapegoat
Try to fix things that have never been broken

You're self-absorbed
Raving about your cryptic ways
Aren't willing to change
Old grudges
Hoping for your turn
All the basement stories you heard
Waiting for the world to bend around you

Staying at the end of a hallway
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you're the scapegoat
Try to fix things that have never been broken

Waiting for the world to bend around you
Waiting for the world to bend around you

Staying at the end of a hallway
(Waiting for the world to bend around you)
Dozens of doors you never tried to open
Narrow vision, you're the scapegoat
Try to fix things that have never been broken

All Night

You wrap my feet in coloured blankets
So I stay here all night
You keep the one with many moons and stars
It’s always for my shoulders

So I stay here till waking hours
Tell me how do you make everything feel a little easier
So I stay here till waking hours
Who could ever be this good to me
I just can’t help but wonder

You put a shirt on the ceiling light
So the room won’t be too bright
You give me time to be what I can be
You’re never ahead, never behind me

So I stay here till waking hours
Tell me how do you make everything feel a little easier
So I stay here till waking hours
Who could ever be this good to me
I just can’t help but wonder

I Hope to Be Around

I hope to be around
The day we grasp in truth
The nature of mind
Befriending time, in truth

In a midway I stand where many stood
Only to come home again
Walking through these streets I know too well
But my thoughts stray away

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself without any end

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself in truth

I wonder at this light
Enclosed in our soul, in truth
And bid our clay remain
Soft as it is, in truth

In a midway I stand where many stood
Only to come home again
Walking through these streets I know too well
But my thoughts stray away

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself without any end

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself in truth

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself without any end

I dream of my future
Remote from time bounds
Becoming myself in truth

Dorian

I recall polar days like these by the Zora river
Before heading nearby to quench my thirst
Writers and few musicians among the local drunk
Tentative relief, together blank

So I dream about C.R.E.A.M. tonight
White flag night
Wicked night
'Cause

I miss October nights in Parc
Miss the corner store small talk
Smoke indoors past four
Come on Jean-Talon

I miss October nights in Parc
Miss the corner store small talk
Smoke indoors past four

Pines

Bae, you're leaving again
It's rainy outside, you know
Don't wanna get cold
"Bye, I'm running late"
Didn't say where she went
God knows

Bae, you're running away
Lost in the eye of men
You're roaming your way
And he waits
While she is so close to home
Warmed up so that she stays
His bae

He told her "Bae, the porch is unlocked
Even if no one else
Comes by the front
Now, I sense why the men
Who live in these empty lands
Don't use them"

Singing "she moves
By deserted pines
Who stand tall unstirred"
Ran out of milk
Wearing her nice shoes
She likes coffee dark

He said "Bae, you're running away
Lost in the eye of men
You're roaming your way"
And he waits
While she is so close
Warmed up so that she stays
His bae

Seven

In the shadows he saw four eyes, lit by fire, fire
He'd never done that with a lover before, before
Meanwhile everyone else got lost in quiet, by the river
Seekin' for more, of course he found better

He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood

In the shadows he saw four eyes, lit by fire, fire
He'd never done that with a lover before, before
He was seeking for more
Either early or too late, it was number seven and it happened
High like a bird with his beak through the window

He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood

He saw them, they saw him
But everyone just kept on going
What he saw was different
He should have gone to bed
But instead he stuck around for the mood

He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more

He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more

He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more
He was seeking for more

Show Me How

Show me how you care
Tell me how you loved before
Show me how you smile
Tell me why your hands are cold

Show me how

I'm turning around, I'm having visions of you
But then I understand
The friend I'm dreaming of is far away
But I'm here, I'm here

Show me how you're proud
Tell me how you reach the moon
My thoughts err away tonight
My heart fell to love again

Show me how

I'm turning around, I'm having visions of you
But then I understand
The friend I'm dreaming of is far away
And doesn't feel my love
But I do, I do

You Deserve This

My feelings are true
With ease they allow
The flow of my will
And good sake for you
And good sake for you

This is your past
Before you're born
For you to see
You deserve it

These things I won't change
They keep me relaxed
It's always my way
They keep me relaxed
It's always my way

Pierre

Pierre, you're not lone
Say, I hope you understand
Pierre, you're my friend
There's a place you can call home

Those eyes tell me something's odd
You're there but you're not here
You understand?
You care, it might not look this way
Couldn't be less true
You understand

Pierre, you're not lone
Say, I hope you understand
Pierre, you're my friend
There's a place you still call home

My friend, you have a vivid quill
A gift you need to use to feel alive
Those hands look like crooked roots
Pour them the right stuff and feel alive

Air

I need some air
Vampire town
No one out
You were there and cold
Didn't smoke
Made it count

So I thought you could come over mine sometime
Our loneliness now gone
So I thought you could come over mine sometime
Have we ever been old friends

I didn't think
Late in time
We'd meet again
You looked a bit old
In this cold
You stood out

So I thought you could come over mine sometime
Our loneliness now gone
So I thought you could come over mine sometime
Have we ever been old friends

Porcelain

Mumbling
“Edelweiss“
I couldn’t catch
Your eyes
“Mama
What went wrong
Forgot why I’m still here
Silent calls”

You slowly bend over the table
Our sleepless bodies tumbling down
Still watching scenes from 1994
I don’t feel anything at all

Morning
Red like wine
Got me trapped under
Venetian blinds
One more
Piece of cake
Round and round they go
I’m porcelain

You slowly bend over the table
Our sleepless bodies tumbling down
Still watching scenes from 1994
I don’t feel anything at all

Something in Water

Fall of joyful fights
Left me dreaming so long
Hiding in my sleep
Twenty of your hands left on
Must be something in water

In this land with no sea
Hoping time forgot me
‘Cause I can’t hold your love
Only your full weight on me
Must be something in water

I should go away
Far from the Dashoa
Far from the same stairs
Your bathroom drawn in fake vanilla smell
Knowing I don’t want better

In this land with no sea
Hoping time forgot me
‘Cause I don’t need your love
Only your full weight...

Organon

I'm one, my blood
I owe, I bear
The past, my heirs
I owe, I bear
I'm one, my blood
I owe, I bear
The past, my heirs
I owe, I bear

When I smell sweet hay
Peace of mind comes
Distant land I'm from
Honey and sun

Oh, I relive it
Where I was born
Oh, I can feel it
In the storm

I bear
The past, my heirs
I owe, I bear
I'm one, my blood
I owe, I bear
The past, my heirs
I owe, I bear

Oh Dove

You’re not done
You just broke a bone
Oh dove
You’re not the one that’s gone

To be ours
Like the trees on our shores
All tweezed
The cliffs eat away at our knees
On my knees

I’ll be the one to tell your story
Don’t say you’re sorry, you rest and heal
You used to be my spear without fear, you had the will
I want to give you time, give you mine, until you heal
You used to speed your way through the fields, but now you’re still

Soon we’ll roam
There’ll be shade oncе more
We’ll stray
Oblivious of boats sailing home
Sailing homе

Sugar

I ran out of made-up consolations
I’ve been waiting forever
How can you call me with such conviction
"Sugar cane, sugar"

You get yourself out of situations
Won’t you leave me, won’t you
‘Cause I don’t have the time for indignations
"Sugar cane, sugar"

It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again

Can you find just one thing you cherish
Would you hold me just like you mean it
Am I the one with much imagination
Give me one reason

As it gets older
You keep pulling and pushing away
But you never promised me
To be wiser or better

It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again

It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again
It goes on and on and on
And it goes on and on and on again

Sugar
My sugar cane
Sugar

Sugar

Sorbitol

Took a Flintstone pill, pantry uphill
Curtain child within my teens, our dreams
Ride through Hyrule fields
Roaming, scuffin'
Mileage on my bike breezing

The freedom, I enjoyed through flames
I owe it, mother and bygones
Remember days that gave me aim
So I can feel the same

I don't know about your love
I don't know about your past
Things I did have brought me shame, and pride
Alas, I don't know about your past

Tree Among Shrubs

You make no sound
As folks gather 'round
Like shadow hounds
Eyes seem unsound
As folks gather 'round
And please you aloud

And I now believe that no one asked about your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought you had a lonely past
The pain and strengths so vast

From mellow seas
To houses on wheels
To slabs in West lands
Hand in hand
From yellow bills
To slabs in West lands
Like bones in your hands

But I see a tree that's standing high among the shrubs
So only one hand may rest its palm upon my cheeks
The only one that I'll need

To know why no one asked about your secret past
The pain to match your strength
And I now believe that no one thought you had a lonely past
And pain to match your vein

When it rains

Before Dawn

Still love you
Still love you
He’s got you
Do you miss me too
Yeah

I’m not through
Are you?
“Almost blue”
You feel it too

She’s not you…
Still love you
I miss you
Do you miss me too
Yeah

Serenade of Water

Slow
We all slowly move
"Just like a river's flow… never ends"
Gentle

How long (Go slow on me)
No longer young (Hold on to thee)
I'm where I belong (Go slow on me)
Hold that we're bond
In truth

Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me

Be my love
Once more
Tears and joys together
Tweeds and stones, our past our tether

Be my love
Once more
Springs and hail we weather
Gentle

How long (Go slow on me)
No longer young (Hold on to thee)
I'm whеre I belong (Go slow on me)
Hold that wе're bond
In truth

Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me

Go slow on me
Slow on me
Go slow on me
Slow on me

5AM Waltz

Don't Say Much
I know I
Don’t Own Much
I Know I

Don't Say Much
I know I
Don't Own Much
I Know I

Always Lone

I’m not someone
You take away and leave alone
I’m not the one
To shy away and moan
And though I am
A deeply flawed human
I feel the shame

When you lay your eyes on me with pain
It’s not hard to see you’re getting cold
Oh, bring me home
Where I’m proud
Where the scales are plane
And It’s sane

We can play your game
Such a cruel way
To keep you entertained
It’s hard to see who gains
And who plays

I’d rather be the one who got fooled
Than to have my heart cooled

I always care
Always lone
Always lone

Always care
Always lone
Always lone

Always care
Always lone

Ante Meridiem

Slide
Staring high
Dolly cam
Fixing light
Must be ‘live

And I'm breathing
Lost in time
I'm fine
And I'm feeling
And I'm bleeding

"I'm not so sure about it..."
"So many things we don't have..."
"If you think about it..."
"Come in here..."
"No way! Say no more!"
"I'm not so sure anymore!"

“Same”
“We're the same”
“Different times”
Near my bed
Passing friend

Lifelong Song

Three times the echoes of my name
How could someone not turn insane
What made you leave, what made you go
Long road, long time ago

Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song

You fenced yourself from the crowd
Black water, far as eyes can see
Clear metal taste in your mouth
Nights howl
Are you invited or not, 'til dawn

Three times the echoes of my name
Can one man be an island
I want to leave, I want to go
A long way, like you taught me so

Whistling your lifеlong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solacе is your lifelong song

Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song
Whistling your lifelong song
Solace is your lifelong song

Shoulders

Time, won’t you ease my shoulders
They got here unsafe
Winter’s monsters adopted my place

I don’t know how you’ve been
I don’t know who she is but I can tell
She’s ‘got delicate hands
That must dance around you with the grace

Of a free bird
Of a song

Time won’t you ease me
I wonder if you’re still waiting with
Pride for the sun, for the one
To tell you to go to sleep

Of a bird
Of a song
Of a bird

Of a bird
Of a song
Of a bird

A Cycle

(Bonus Track)

Dreaming of enhanced feelings
Words with no loss of meaning
Known limits shall give away
Fresh apples that won’t decay
Breathing craft and will

Sun pursues eternal extols
Rotating spheres, shifting poles
Deposed kings and queens
Against new competing machines
Standing marveled in awe

Massive tides carefully smooth domains
Nature reveals itself to mankind again
Cirrhosis removed from patient men
Who dare… come back flesh and bone
To reclaim the world as their own

Black Hole Era

(Bonus Track)

She wanted no part
Oblivious of luck
Shame or conceit
While proud men allied
Glorious worms
Her redshifted cheeks imbued with life

“Black Hole Era doesn’t concern me”
Then she said: “Black Hole Era doesn’t concern me”

Duty bell spread its tone up
And through the box spring
While anxious men
Stacked empties and letters
Downstairs, in a dresser

And all things around
Kept losing their bonds
Erasing from earth
Words, meaning and life
Lost futures in her еyes

“Black Hole Era doesn’t concеrn me”
Then she said: “Black Hole Era doesn’t concern me”

Billie Toppy

Billie cares to hold me
But I found I'm bound and headed upside down
Billie dressing easy
And I do enjoy the way he tucks me now
Pulley Bee'
Dragging me around

Billie cares to wake me
And I'll bend my knees neatly to its needs
Billie will be tidy
Tough as rocky streams, steady is the speed
Pulley Bee'
Hauling is your creed

Heels twist in a ballet
Whenever you're in pain, don't turn to blame
You see a lamb who's fast asleep
Please don't go out to stray

Billie by my lips dear
I can almost taste the smoky trail of myrrh
Whispers in my left ear
And I swear, you're near, the wary one I hear
Pulley Bee'
Idles in high gear

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Heels twist in a ballet
(Stuck in a ballet)
Whenever you're in pain, don't turn to blame
(Please, don't turn to blame)
You see a lamb who's fast asleep
Please, don't go out to stray
Heels twist in a ballet
(Stuck in a ballet)
Whenever you're in pain, don't turn to blame
(Please, don't turn to blame)
You see a lamb who's fast asleep
Please, don't go out to stray

Girl

Girl
In love
My heart may be
Laced

Girl
My bird

Tell me stories about a better place to be
Let yourself free

J'ai cru t'entendre à plein d'endroits
Mais les paroles fuyaient mes pas
C'est le malheur ou bien la chance
Ça n'a plus d'importance

Je vais ici, je vais là-bas
Mais je ne l'ai pas encore trouvée
Cette liberté dont tu m'as tant
Chanté ce jour-là

Hard To Let Go

Hard to let go
My friend, you changed a while ago
Estranged, pride stiffens like dough
You're closing in your cage
Proud sparrow

Hard to let go
I know the slows that break you low
You chase, small embers that glow
Hunching close by night
Sleep deprived

Hard to let go
The little voice that "told you so"
Good fiend, I'll never let go
To watch you wash the rain
With water

Husk

Commotion, every chime
Give over, it's fine
Composure, on the line
You're stronger, unwind

I know you're driving me further time and time
So as to wait 'til you better feel inclined

Shark-bitten man, alone and raw
Don't push away, lest they withdraw

Erosion, shadow be thy husk
Go downwards, at your behest
Devotion, hard to find
Repay me, in kind

I know you're driving me further time and time
So as to wait 'til you better feel inclined
I know you're driving me further time and time
To bear the fangs of your aching in my mind

Shark-bitten man, alone and raw
Don't push away, lest they withdraw
As shadows dance on canvas walls
Worn in a tent, the quiet calls

Lucky Sue

Had she lost another one
She would've end just like her son
Bitter man now turned insane
(The) Day his dog took on the train

Had she lost another one
She would've end just like her mom
Dyed the hair to look as young
Inhaled fumes and spoiled a lung

By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care

Had she lost another one
Insurance lawyers would have won
Settle quick, the course was cheap
Didn't bother to go deep

I saw the home she's from
No pearl for one to hum
That pride so deer to some
She learned to overcome
Fate unearned

By grace, she was spared
A few toes, a few
To care

By grace, she was spared
A few toes, enough
To care

Ring Of Past

Spin in a ring of past
I dive through memories that are locked around thee
In blind days, when I'm lost
The dreams that we cherished foremost soar through me

I'll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You

Spin in a ring of past
Solace in believing that we will repeat
What might be and what's lost
The thought of the one I loved most brings me heat

I'll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You

I'll always love you
Forever with you
Reliving youth through
You

Tides

Watch for 'them tides
Said men over the news
Doomers far out
Their plea was fair and sound
Oh Mama I love you
Strong like I fear devouts
Who never doubt
Their righteous fervor

A hundred forty-four, by thousands
Waiting for the clear
Oh, how sublime
To marvel at an ugly world from home
They made it to midnight
They know they're right
Awake forever

I see brave men walking hand in hand again
With angels by their sides
Who'll dare put on a fight?
Happy forever
To make it all in-line
Happy together
We shall be fine
