C'est La Vie

I feel the pressure in my heartbeats
I notice how the blood vessels dilate
We know each other even if I act surprised
You left a trace on some familiar face

I don't fear seeing you, it's a whim
I often think of you even though I know we are far apart
I am lost but I laugh amidst sobs
Because the day you win me over, you'll see what my eyes see

Limbic system full of cuts
Say what you want from me, I am shattered
That's life, I'm going to die in your arms
You don't see it coming, but what would you do in its bonds

I never knew you, you never knew my name
But I know you were a good man being my father's father
At least now she is with you
And even though it hurts, no one will separate you

You deprive me of pleasures, I also saw you in women's faces
It was a setup to make me believe you love me
I always faced it even though you hid
Here I stand waiting, knowing you avoided seeing me

They say you wear black, and I don't believe it
I know you dress the whole neighborhood in white
I know you saw my gaze in the fire
You didn't say goodbye, I take it as a see you later

Who is behind everything after you
I fight against you, they kill for the throne
Who is behind everything after you
I don't know, but behind me, I'm alone

Despite everything, I trust you
Since you keep your word unlike many of ours
I know you don't lie to me even with eyes open
Since you say you kill us and we all end up dead

The footprints of my steps disappear
I smell your perfume in the smoke of their drags
I keep looking for you but you keep away from me
Maybe we won't hate each other when we face each other

Reach out your hand and I'll think about it
Feel me and decide to fall into the bitterness of my hell
I know you'll take care of me until we meet
Or you won't know what my eyes see if the crows arrive

Fly, they fly, they fly, they fly
That's life, I already saw my name on that obituary
They sound, they sound, they sound, they sound
His steps going up the stairs

Fly, they fly, they fly, they fly
That's life, I already saw my name on that obituary
They sound, they sound, they sound, they sound
His steps going up the stairs
