Here’s your fucking happy ending, It’s not the way it is, Or anyway not the way you expect it to be, Reality’s not sad or fine, it’s just real You act just like you’re not responsible And I’m trying to explain to you, if you need, Your substance to go through, like a daily feed, You are missing the best way to love yourself, You’re getting high on getting put on the shelf, And i know you’re better than that, Stronger than what you tryna escape from. And i know you’re better than that, Stronger than what you think of you is a mistake.

I wish I was wrong-and, I wish you were strong-er, And if I need a reason, To clench my fist again. It would be for you to stand-and, It would be for make you grand-and, From my helping hand, Which clench its fists again. And I know, that’s not the way it is, At the end of the tunnel, you’ll see the light ! I know that it’s hard-and, That you’re discouraging, But please find a reason, To your clench your fist again. And in the end-you’ll see, this fucking light, shining, Here is your one reason, To clench your fist again

Is this the end of the darkness, Lying on the ground, looking at the sky, This moment in my head, A lifelong commitment, The only thing above, Sincerity and love… The stars were in your eyes And I stare at your smile, like a last beer in the pack The stars were in your eyes I was wondering a little, take it now or wait to crack Is this the end of the loneliness. Someone who cares, that’s all fucking fair, This moment in my heart, A peacefull and warm feeling, Only you in my sight, The magic of the night The stars were in your eyes And I stare at your smile, like a last beer in the pack The stars were in your eyes I was wondering a little, take it now or wait to crack

I can get the way that what you feel is strong and I ‘ve, No doubt about your sincere, but i guess you got a strong bias, you got a strong bias, And I’m asking you to listen to the reasonnable logic of the way that you can’t, say something’s true cause you feel it when it’s, obviously negatable. And I know you suffer from some hardships, but who does not, so stop dumbing anymore So we would got some points of agreements around a rational purpose. And I’m asking you to listen to the reasonnable logic of the way that you can’t, say something’s true cause you feel it when it’s, obviously negatable. And that’s all

Give it a sense, don’t give a fuck, It’s all in your hands, you just have to work, The pride you get, from what you’ve done, And overall, share your passion ! It has to make sense, And it’s making it I don’t wanna do something else, I’d die for it Passion overall, New friends to meet My only escape, my perfect exit Now I figure it out, Nothing left to fight, Foundations are strong, I know it’s not wrong. And now, because of all, it’s perfectly fine, And now,because of us, it’s the best way i’ve found, And now, because of all, it’s perfectly fine, And now, because of us, it’s the best way i’ve found,

We were waiting for the call, And the call came, On the last week before Fall, We get the beers in the van. And so we packed our bags and took our beers, Got amazed by the drive, blessed by the years, We’re seeing double, before the night falls, Dancing on the tables, because we guess we shall. But when Jo finished the Rum, It was so crucial, it’s irrational I can’t find any reason, And after all, he’s still a nice person But tell me why Why he put this stick in his butt. But now i can tell you the story, Because i did worse right after it, Two guys don’t have the balls to be gay, And you know, Life is always a challenge ! And so we packed our bags and took our beers, Got amazed by the drive, blessed by the years, We’re seeing double before the night falls, Dancing on the tables, because we guess we shall. But when Jo finished the Rum, It was so crucial, it’s irrational I can’t find any reason, And after all, he’s still a nice person But tell me why Why he put this stick in his butt.

There’s always a sun in the sky, For I know, you smile from afar, Feelings are blurry, Words are clumsy. T’was clear at the beginning, That we can’t stick forever. T’was sad in the ending, But that’s the way it is. But angels are free, And you’re more than an angel to me. So do what you want, Even if it’s not around me ! There’s always a sun in the sky, For I know, you smile from afar, Feelings are blurry, Words are clumsy. Time’s flying by really fast, My opinion about you won’t change, You’re so special, and that’s so crucial ! T’was the worst idea we, Could ever have in the while, T’was the best moments I spent, But that’s the way it is. But angels are free, And you’re more than an angel to me. So do what you want, Even if it’s not around me !

You said, All these things did not go according to plans, but is there really a plan, And i don’t know if it’s following, To claim to go against the grain, To shout than you are someone’s different, Maybe it’s a way for you to stand Beside the line as a gimmick, While you’re just a piece of nothing, But you will always make me laugh, And I can tell you who you are, Fuckin normal as I am So stop bashing about society, and i’ll stop bashing you, So stop bashing about society, and i’ll stop bashing you, About you

True North 02:34
I heard you were looking for something special, Something that no one- else but you can be sure of, A new way of living in this too perfect world, Far from the same old- story to clone. So you decide to take your back pack on, and take the first flight to escape, From this reality full of mediocre, and turn the light out to escape, Is this the way to find yourself, Is this the only way to live, Is that your path to the true north, Ain’t it really worth it. I heard everything’s going well for you, And i’m glad you’re happy in each moment A picture of you smiling is a sun So please keep on doing this my friend So you decide to take your back pack on, and take the first flight to escape, From this reality full of mediocre, and turn the light out to escape, Is this the way to find yourself, Is this the only way to live, Is that your path to the true north, Ain’t it really worth it.

It’s all about getting proud and strong, And also how complaining’s wrong, You know when everything’s absurd, When all your world is fucking blurred again And the stars are shining midly, And the sun is there but cold, You can feel the melancholy, Nothing’s different but you’re gone ! I am not blaming anything, But the void is clearly there, And even if you’re missing, I’ll stand for you in here. Who’s not here ain’t always wrong, Can just be dead, Can just be dead. The worst i see in every place Is that you won’t be there with me The best i got from anything I will never share it with you Who’s not here ain’t always wrong, Can just be dead, Can just be dead. The worst i see in every place Is that you won’t be there with me The best i got from anything I will never share it with you
11.
The only thing we have is Time, And that’s all And I’ll cherish, Life for that and i’m not scared Thanks for the sharings, the listennings, when you care, And I will cherish Life for it again Even when the waves surge towards the shore, We’ll surf on them like we’re not feared at all, And I’ll cherish Life for it that's makes me proud Trials by fire always are the best ! Everyday brings its own surprises, And that’s how it works, And I’ll cherish Life for it, Thanks for the support, The laughters and when you’re here, The best feel of comfort But if i have to board a boat i'd sail alway to your port Even when the waves surge towards the shore, We’ll surf on them like we’re not feared at all, And I’ll cherish Life for it ! Trials by fire always are the best !
12.
I got a plan, you got a plan, But I’m a man and you’re a man, So I can’t stand The way you stand, I can drink even more than you, I can run even faster than you, Hey ! Oh ! Hey ! I need you to know that how much you’re a twat, Compared to me, Or at least, to whom I think I am, At least, I hope you won’t give a damn, Cause i would be so frustrated, Hey ! Oh ! Hey ! Saturday Cockfighting !
