Hovering Numbers (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Let's get ourselves to the sunset Let's get us back to a simpler time When you were mine You say you wanna fly away Well my love with me there could be a way It'll be okay Remember what I said earlier I'll be with you until the end I started cryin' all over When you said that we'd still be friends I'll mark my words into bright lights Assuring that we can make things right With you in sight For you I wrote those hovering numbers But they'll only do me wrong Can't we talk right now with each others? Instead of keepin' doin' it with songs Several people I don't trust Some of them I just wanna shot And let them rot The wind it did knocked me over I can't find that peace of mind Your world I try not to bother But it's getting hard to stay blind Call me a preacher, call me a priest Call me the keeper of the silence peace How can I reach?

This Room 08:44
This Room (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Let your fingers slip What a strange long trip? Sure it wasn't bad The best I've ever had And all I hear's the Wilhem scream From across that silver screen Life is overrated And I'm so wasted Working on your craft Only makes them laugh And I've seen you go by that door A thousand thousand times before But this room is mine to keep I do nothing here but sleep Or write About the sight On the keys I pound How I left the ground The oven shines your eyes And the day goes by The remains of my future self Lies between those other shelves So I sing along Those American songs My horses for a day As a Springfield in L.A Well I must be ahead in time Or heading for a long decline This room was always mine to keep How did I get in so deep? Oh that's right It's useless to fight The pictures on the wall Echoing the fall I use them to protect My own intellect If I keep running at this pace I might never see your face Psychedelic tunes Surrounding the room Counting on the brass To complete the task I'm out of my living form But not enough to clear the storms This room was never mine to keep We are far away from peace And light But then again, I might Will this one be my last? Painful is this past Sending all my love To the skies above The meanings of those sceptic signs They're really not meant to be find Passing out again On the thoughts you send My unfortunate voice Never was my choice Which one did you said you like? Give something else to write And still this room is mine to keep From here I will try to leap Or die By your movie eyes FÉVRIER 2013

Clearing Out The Fog (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Old Levon standing there Telling stories from his young times Told him: ''I don't care'' Still dreaming about the little gal' of mine I'm dealing the terms of my release They saying it's looking really good CHORUS But oh girl can't you see? What prison has done to me I don't think I'll ever be ready Oh sweet careless dove I'm longing for your love You and I can be clearing out the fog Old Levon is singing Every songs in the brown book His voice is very soothing The music has a folky hook In this case you're the jury Only you can authorize CHORUS Old Levon is dead now Digging dirt in a heaven's field He's joing by his band buddies Around they're making a shield Maybe I'm overreacting? I'll ask the Marshall for a ride CHORUS I'm trying so hard To do the righteous thing I don't know if I should speak or sing Either way She don't belong to me On my door the sun Will shine eventually Can we talk about it now? I got to get rid Of this pain somehow I've seen you In every movies I've got 53 songs On misery Sometimes I think You will heed the call I wait the night For nothing at all Don't feel empty Don't feel... ....

http://randalgraves.bandcamp.com/ Song for Willy (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) Once upon a time In Trenton, NJ Lived a country boy Who longed for a journey Almost every day He was talking about it But in the end he stayed And he did not do shit CHORUS: Here's a song for you Willy Only you can make it work Take this song with you Willy And give it birth When he woke in the morning His stuck in the ground By the late evenin' He was ready for showdown Travelling the globe And sleep in big hotels But he's turning 24 And his life's a living hell CHORUS C'mon Willy boy Your time is in a swirl Cultivate this soil And you will see the world C'mon dear Willy Your time is almost up Your dream's in a hurry Now you must never stop The callings of the gods Are meant to be answered The pounding of the drums Is part of your culture Take this song of mine And give it a new life Forget about those ruins They cut you like a knife CHORUS X2 FÉVRIER 2013

Despite all your helpless anger No one seem to get the point And maybe it's time to meet the maker? C'mon man let's rip this joint Chorus: Can we put it all together? The only way we'll left the ground We should have known better Let's bring people back to this sound Nowadays it's so much wires Everyone doin' it wrong Back when the Strip was on fire The crucial thing was the song CHORUS There's a bird flying around you He's showing us the Shakey's way A cigarette is pressing unto Now little birdy has to stay CHORUS Avril 2013

C Csus4 Yonder stands there C Csus4 C A boy who's not in shape Em7 G No reflex, so sorry C Csus4 All day long C Csus4 C He only stares at lake Em7 Am7 D And when the moon hits him in the eye Am7 D He's blaming her for remembering why Am7 D The only good he does all day Am7 D Is painting her in the purest way Took a day off From retirement Staying home in the castle Second story But still like a basement From here I Will change the world I write a song And I remove the words The night Isn't calling The business there was good But the phone doesn't ring Did you Or did you not? It's taking me forever To just see it was a flop Mumbling every Single slurs But still to this day I don't believe any rumors Two lovebirds Way apart From the eyes And from the heart I sat my feet Deep in the water I brought a rock with me To remember her I was floating Perfectly The wind wasn't so strong On the salty sea Where did The dragon go? Last time we saw him He was heading for Tokyo I gotta Get there somehow So hand me those contracts I'm ready to sign them now Planes, trains and cars Are moving far away To someplace I don't care These new postcards Are forcing me to stay Avril 2013

Painter's Lament #8 (paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine) She talks when she sleeps And when at night the dreams they became true She struggles hard to sings her decline The minute it went deep The evening was already blue The Kingdom come was full of those pines But the carnival Was supposed to be there for a while And now the kid Is swallowing is pride To ease the tide The Lord of freewill Just got busted for a year It'll take some time to recover He made too much thrill The trial was by a jury of his peers ''You have have to prove to you really love her'' SO he carried on By doing the things he like the most Which is in fact, nothing But running through the smokes Tell al the folks The more you know Never was really much your thing You swept it off to feel satisfied The lonesome sparrow Eventually came back here to sing It's how your heroes spend their lives So I'm stuck in here With so many different things to write But only one character to fantasize Give it a try Now where the feelings at? They're probably between me and this sheet Whatever, nobody likes my sound I'll peek through the crack Try to get my heartache back to sleep Sometimes the lost are never found But it's all my fault I mixed up my work with that painting She has now a bigger part in your building But it ain't her thing FÉVRIER 2013

No Nothing 10:51
A whiter evening For goodness's sake The grand Finale Has a second take Those senseless feelings The ones I did recall Where never meant To last until the Fall Loneliness is tough But craziness is worse I ask myself Can I call this a curse? The thief is still out there I see him everywhere Walking around With the shoes I should wear When I awoke that morning The bedroom it was bare Obstructed by A very strange affair There were no pills, no nothing My eyes couldn't believe I blinked once or twice To make sure they weren't freezed Now the road is pretty wet My aim is acurate But the steering wheel Is out of control In the attic lays a crowd And I'm guided by an owl Making sure I give enough soul In the danger house I live in I climbed up too much steps But it's out there That I will take the rest No icones before you Ever did something like that The comfort you rest in Is really just a trap So I leave you two alone I the morning I'll be gone To the coast of Sante-Fe Where hippies used to roam Oh how much I give for a journey? With the stars of yesterday Never again Will I feel so alone MARS 2013

Know Me 03:17
Know me is a friend of mine Stronger than any lifeline We met each others When she was 4 But lately she doesn't feel so well Clinging unto every ring bell And shows up at my cellar door Chorus: I tell you dear know me You don't have to worry I'll support you No matter what you do You know it from the start I love you with all my heart So count on me To help you get you through The childhood themes she brought along Overcoming all the wrongs The medicine on your toe She'll make you challenge your own lungs Sings the hell out of your song She's surely good for you sorrow Chorus So tonight I pay respect To the know me I protect And I'm making sure that she knows That my door will always stay Open for her everyday I'll be here every time she feels low MARS 2013
