I’m leaving behind- the Wasteland on the surface
Florence, I’ll wait by your side
What keeps me alive?
What compels me to shun the daylight?
There’s nothing alive in the Wasteland-
Dead and worthless
Florence, there’s no healing with time
How do I survive?
Distraught by the wall- through the hours
The company of Death returns
Faint inscription- voice of reason
A fractured carapace
Humming a tune – carving you in wax
The likeness fades
The artist wakens – carving their embrace
It’s shuddering
I never believed in the Wasteland
‘Til it found me
Florence, the grave is so kind
What keeps me alive?
Through the rain there’s no glimpse of moonlight
There’s nothing but grief in the Wasteland
All around me
Florence, you live in my mind
Why do I survive?
Looking through the glass- gazing upward
Resembling your face
Florence- strewn in flowers
Terrified oaths struggle to gain voice
Tumbling down – find a passage
The flesh is gone
Retreating now – the ashes cool
There’s nothing found
I’m leaving behind- the Wasteland on the surface
Florence, I’ll wait by your side
What keeps me alive?
What keeps me alive?
What keeps me alive?
Breezy but thoughtful pop songwriting doesn’t get any more solid than this! Perfect for driving along the beach with the windows down, feeling wistful. Single Lash
The best album of Hèléne. Masterpiece! I can't tired to hear it. Such track is awesome. Deeply melancholic, dark and danceable in our darkness. The title of the album is stunning. Love it. Dark queen 🖤 raulmori
