lyrics

from my skin and bones
i escape
to find out
that i’m alone
from my words
and silence
i try to run
but i get lost
in my own two feet

and slowly i flee
into the arms
of the sea

where i will lay
my body
i will find out
where to be
i’ll run, i’ll scream
i’ll get lost in between
but i am the greatest
i am the greatest
i can be

and i took my head
folded it
like those papers
that you will never tell
and i took my heart
wrapped it
somewhere
underneath the bed
and i promised
i would
never tell

where i’ll lay
my body
deep in the ground
where all the flowers
they grew from
and i ran, i screamed
maybe i died in between
still
i was the greatest
i was
the greatest
i could be
oh i was the greatest
i was
the greatest i could be
and still i am the greatest
the greatest
i
could
be

about

l i l a Québec

soft & slow sounds
from somewhere
between the sea
and the sky
hoping to comfort one
somehow,
sometimes
in the darkest times
