Beyond Your Door — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
I would like to say somthing I never told someone before.
Still I can’t write any phrases or any words to knock on your door.
I would like to play the chords that you’ve never heard before
Still I can’t play anything ‘cause I can’t find a song, or the love,
That could take us far away beyond your door.
Can I please complain, for the simple reason,
That you’re gone away, it couldn’t be worst to live and to know,
That we could have been more...
I would like to play the chords that you’ve never heard before
Still I can’t play anything ‘cause I can’t find a song, or the love,
That could take us far away beyond your door.

Beggar — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques, Éloi Painchaud
There’s a time when a man’s gotta kneel before higher grounds,
That’s what he’s looking for.
He says: I got a song or two in my pocket,
Gimme a shelter, a blanket,
And this might be a night we won’t forget.
You won’t see my face in the local papers,
Cause I ain’t got no song for all you dreamers.
The only thing that I’ve got is a will to live and that’s a lot
Now, gimme a dime my friend and I’ll be fine.
Cause I got nowhere to go,
Got my feet on the ground and I keep on walking slowly.

Sad Song For Sad People — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques, Tim Bader
I’m living in a dark land, faceless people are all I see.
Please somebody take my hand I said but nobody answered me.
If there’s heaven somewhere well show me the way or,
Take me there so I can find a place to stay
I’m only a man and I’d like you to share a part of your land.
Help me Lord to find the strength I need tonight
I think you might know the reasons why I cry.
Please God forgive me, for everything I didn’t mean.
Consumed and guilty, that’s my story.
I sing this sad song, for all the sad people,
‘Cause the world we’re living in isn’t that beautiful.
I’m only a man and I’d like you to share a part of your land
Help me Lord to find the strength I need tonight
I think you might know the reasons why I cry.

Better Man — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
God I’m looking for your help
God I’m looking for your hand
Hitch a ride to heaven,
Then keep me safe away from hell.
God I’m tired of being lost,
I can’t find no one I can trust
Can’t find no home on my road,
No more light here,
Only shadows.
What’s a land on which you cannot stand?
What’s a heart if to feel it,
There’s no man?
I’d like to know what’s good to tell,
So you could see me as a better man.
God I’m looking for your help
God I’m looking for your hand
Hitch a ride to heaven,
Then keep me safe away from hell.
Keep me there safe away from hell.

The Pain I Feel — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
When you put your hands on me,
Can you feel the pain?
This pain I feel will never leave,
This is why I’m trying to forget my name.
I’ve been drinking for too long,
I see bottoms of bottles every night.
But in this beast there’s something I’ve found
I hate myself most of the time.
Free me from the pain I feel
Take it away so I can breathe
Free me from the pain I feel
Take it away so you can see the real man in me.
I’m built of tears of hope and fears.
Deep down I know I’ll be hard to change.
And if after all I’m still the same,
I hope at least you’ll remember my name.
Free me from the pain I feel
Take it away so I can breathe
Free me from the pain I feel
Take it away so you can see the real man in me.
Drowning down in alcohol
I’m killing everything that’s worth to live
And to embrace everyday
I hope I won’t get too far
Before I fall down on this floor
And pull the trigger that I’ve been waiting for.

Sheltered From Their Lies — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
Tell me what am I gonna get out of this madness,
And from all the people that pull things out of me.
Tell me please when this is over,
I’ll open my eyes and find a place sheltered from their lies.
What will come after?
What will they look for?
Will they eat my flesh and ask for more?
Would it be easier to walk another path?
The one where none of these questions are asked.
The diamond’s melting on their tongues
While my words are dying on my soul.

Nothing's Gonna Change — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
Walking down this old damned road
My shoes are tired, they’re growing older
And heavy like stones
Still looking around to find a place I know but
I’m stuck on the ground
Ain’t got nowhere to go.
I’d like to fall asleep and never wake up.
Leave this world behind me and
Waste away all my memories,
‘Cause in my heart there’s nothing I would find
That could help me change my mind.
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change
I’ll watch you there from above
And I will come down to see you in your dreams
I’ll wait for you there my love
Please, don’t hate me ‘cause I’m gone.
------
Love Somebody — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques
It’s hard to understand,
It’s always hard to understand
It looks like I have lost my direction,
Maybe just a lack of attention.
But I know we’ll meet again,
I know we’ll meet again.
It’s hard to understand,
It’s always hard to understand
When it comes to love.
Love somebody like you.
Love somebody like I do.

Discover — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques, Tim Bader
I’m sitting on the rooftop I can see from for miles.
The mountains out there are separating the city from the sky.
I’d like to go alone undercover,
I’d paint myself with one or two colors
I’d be free to discover.
I’m flying high now,
All of my desires are becoming reality, unfolding in front of me
This eyeful view from there is something I dreamed of everyday.
Now I’m feeling so much better ‘cause now I’m free to discover.

The Shore — lyrics: Clément Jacques / music: Clément Jacques, Tim Bader
In this very little town where I grew up,
There’s nobody waiting around for me to wake up.
I’m feeling so good here, without worries,
Without the world waiting on me.
The beauty is so real that I could go blind
But still see everything.
So you can imagine, the sun’s in my heart
Even if it’s raining.
Waiting for waves on my board,
I caught the green swell back to the shore
Memories from the ocean,
Release the bad times locked in my mind.
Now I wish that I could stay on the shore of the bay
I wish that I could smell this great scent every day
The beauty is so real that I could go blind
But still see everything.
So you can imagine, the sun’s in my heart
Even if it’s raining.
