Try to break the circle Watch your comforts drift away Fighting with the symbols And the archetypes at play Not a curse Not a fate Not a role to be replayed But there's no way to relate All the violence contained Well no great love can be maintained When you pluck the rose of shame Picking at the splinters That clutch beneath your skin Seeing through the winter While a fire burns within Not a word Not a face Not a bright and new terrain 'Cause you'll never be a fake When you're beautified through pain And no great love can be maintained When you pluck the rose of shame Not the worst Not a waste Not an elegant mistake Still you wonder what became Of the hopes that you had raised Well no great love can be maintained When you pluck the rose of shame

Everybody wants a piece of the crust With trust in demagogues and faith within the race But every time you sink your teeth in the soft white fluff All the force just fades Born against the grain Seeking that forbidden taste Crumbs over your table While you rock the cradle Living like a fable in roles you love to play Gutter to the steeple No one is your equal Your life would need a sequel to get even Where did we go wrong? Feeding that prodigal son Sow your seeds and bloom with lassitude White bred blues White bred blues Call me over I'll break bread with you White bred blues White bred blues To spoilt for choice to choose White bred blues Comme le pain du mépris Comme le pain du mépris Fill your boots Comme le pain du mépris Comme le pain du mépris White bred blues Comme le pain du mépris Still not even close to ever making a difference Dreams turn to ambitions and love becomes a game Feeling so malicious Toast it till delicious Or feed it to the fishes with all your pain Born against the grain Seeking that forbidden taste Sow your seeds and bloom with lassitude White bred blues White bred blues Call me over I'll break bread with you White bred blues White bred blues To spoilt for choice to choose White bred blues Comme le pain du mépris Comme le pain du mépris Fill your boots Comme le pain du mépris Comme le pain du mépris White bred blues Comme le pain du mépris Comme le pain du mépris White bred blues Prends ton pain du mépris

I've got ghosts a'plenty Fogging up the streets like an atmosphere They came out to play Just when it looked as though the coast was clear Burn me back to salt Tow my heart in chains Through sun beams When you met me I had the vanity of Cassiopeia It was a beautiful game To see love unfold with no yesterday Burn me back to salt Tow my heart in chains Through sun beams If I have been dead already You brushed the soil from my gaze Torn in two halves As the guillotine drops The clouds are dividing for you Torn in two halves Now I know I can't stop The guillotine kisses that you rain down I've got ghosts a'plenty Seem to think it's funny when they reappear On a summers day To tare the cards of joy right through my fingers Burn me back to salt Tow my heart in chains Through sun beams Torn in two halves As the guillotine drops The clouds are dividing for you Torn in two halves Now I know I can't stop The guillotine kisses that you rain down

Lilies turned to cinders in my hand You don't need a judge for your defense With no halo no one is a saint That's not what says the common sense Breathing without feeling alive Breathing Breathing The body is a grave The tomb of your soul Lilies turned to ashes in my palm Creeping through my vision to live on And walking alone I hear the psalm From resilience to burial Breathing without feeling alive Breathing Breathing The body is a grave The tomb of your soul Femininity upon a pyre You can't ignite my dreams if I don't sleep Code breaker now I hear the choir You won't need this faulty seed Breathing without feeling alive Breathing Breathing The body is a grave The tomb of your soul Lilies turned to cinders in my hand Flashes of a life still in the air DT's in an air of silent rage Life is hanging on me by a thread Breathing without feeling alive Breathing Breathing The body is a grave The tomb of your soul Breathing without feeling alive Breathing Breathing The body is a grave The tomb of your soul

Quelle tête brûlera la première? Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? Terre brûlée, tête brûlée She burns like the flowers of Edo Up and away With rooftops ablaze Picking up momentum as she goes From far away the violent beauty is safe On her way to burst the bubble Of the ones who thought horizons would’nt change She’ll reduce the streets to rubble But posing in ribbons won’t help you escape The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la première? The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la première? The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? In between possession and ego Complacency plays till the hero is frame A sight they say can never be equaled The colours of change to put the world in its place On her way to burst the bubble Mr. Innocent your debts have not been paid She’ll reduce the streets to rubble Surrender your tears boy and hope that it rains For the flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la première? The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? Quelle tête brûlera la première? The Flowers of Edo Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? Quelle tête brûlera la première? Quelle tête brûlera la dernière? Quelle tête brûlera la première? Terre brûlée, tête brûlée
