lyrics

You told me you would suffocate slowly.

I tried to remove the thin film wrapped around you.
But when I did you unraveled quick into dust and lint.

You told me you would suffocate slowly.

I’m still breathing
In your fingers,
In your bedcovers,
In your disaster,
In your fleeting laughter.

All of the colours painted in the pattern of your lips
Quiver like a fire being lit.

Là oú tu t’asseois sur ma poitrine,
Je me débats.
Mais tu tiens ton sceptre très fermement,
Entre tes doigts.

Là oú tu t’asseois sur ma poitrine,
Je me débats.
Mais tu tiens ton sceptre très fermement,
Entre tes doigts.
