LES FANTÔMES
(V. Polichar, lyrics)
They are slow as a fog on a wire
Banter quiets, you can't feel the fire
So it ends
Every nerve in your body is ice
You can't thaw, you can't bow
Try to run
No one moves in the tavern
A frozen and stone-struck tableau
We warned you
We told you
These phantoms won't forgive you
No one can escape fate
No one can, it's too late
You're awake
And you feel every cell in your body
First freezing then bursting
Try to breathe
But you find that your lungs have now
Turned into dust and you're
Becoming
A phantom
At last

WALTZ, IN EXILE
(G. Butler, lyrics)
My swan song
Won't last long
I'm waltzing in exile
My sorrow's to scorn
Your leaving is all I have left
I'm waltzing in exile
My morrows to mourn
No partner and no pirouette
I dance to atone
"Pas de deux"
Pas de toi
Pas de moi
So alone...

MEMORIA
(G. Butler, lyrics)
I
I can
I can’t
I can’t quite
Recall
A memory?
A dream?
A premonition?
I call
I fall
Any decision
Every scream
Forever and never
All men
All memoria

HOLLOW SHELL

Paper-thin
Empathy-free
Hollow shell

SWOONHEAD
(G. Butler, lyrics)
Oh, no! Here I go again
Misanthrope in residence
Silver lining is a dark cloud, shining
To a cem'try, gate me hence
Tomorrow brings a brand-new day
Hunger for a curdled way
How and now might happen soon
Stumble — but don’t let them see you swoon
Oh, no! Here I go again
Wolf, in clothing of a swede
This skin, headed for a fate that's dreaded
Dissatisfaction guaranteed
Tomorrow brings a brand-new chance
Evidence is circumstance
How and now: Exhibit A
Proof that nothing, ever, is OK
Oh, no! Here I go again
Happiness is a warm glum
Calculate how best to be an ingrate
Use maladjusted justice sums
Tomorrow brings a brand-new life
Call up mum and say, “You’re not my wife!”
How and now is ending, so
Watch the clock until it's
Time to go
Find new woe
And be so, "Oh, no!"

YOU DON'T SWOON FOR ME ANYMORE
(P. Nickerson, lyrics)
Sit high atop a mountain of trust
Too long, it begins to rust
Jokingly arrogant
Extended Cinderella
A decorative suitor
Duel of dishonour
Your red sweater reflection
Count the rings on the backs of your eyelids
You'll know when we're done
You don't swoon for me anymore

YOU STILL MAY BE WRONG
(P. Nickerson, lyrics)
Pipe smoke curls, hangs in the air
Slowly climbs toward the blue
Can feel it in the back of my chest
You still may be wrong
You still make me cough
With your thumbnail to chip (that brick)
I'm running out, I'll just have to settle
(Patterns)
(Not)
(Worth)
Repeating

SORRY VALENTINE
(G. Butler, lyrics)
I’m sorry
Valentine
Please, be mine
I’m sorry
Valentine
Don’t leave me behind
If you’re right
And we’re wrong
How did we ever get along?
You say I make you furious
I always think we're glorious
I’m sorry
Valentine
Please, be true
I’m sorry
Valentine
Don’t you love me too?
“It’s not me, it’s you”
Doesn’t it take two?
I say, “It’s us”
And are you so sure of yourself
You’re not curious?
