hey, do you remember this day when you helped me breathe underwater ? i was exhausted, out of air, when you hold me your hand and said "you have no reason stayin' here, i'm here to draw you up. So please follow the girl you used to love, do not wound her, for a thousand time". i'd love to follow you out, but sea is where i remain to live, so dive and join me, offer me your lips, it might be enough to help me breathe for years. Please follow the girl you used to love for years Pushed back on the wall, with shells in the shoes. The only way for me to live is out in the ocean. Pushed back on the wall, with shells in the shoes. Now let me breathe... hey, do you remember this day when you helped me breathe underwater ? you came to steal tears from the tide, and glue each of them in my eyes. It could be helpful for lovers, makes them feel innocent again. Hoping, loving, nothing... but it might be enough to help me breathe for years.

Rags 04:00
poor boy doesn't feel right he's sick and tired small eyes, no smile, dressed in rags. since he was a child he's ashamed and never accept to hold any other hand. he believe he's forgotten and possessed, that everyone's here for him to blame. let's see, let's see : buy him a bunch of poppies, better bet he'll sniff the flowers. look at them dry and dessicate ! you'll guess how stricken is the man has not so much enemies nor friends but likes to bash heads. no smile. rags. poor boy doesn't feel right he's sick and tired small eyes, no smile and dressed in rags. he has pain in the chest, and scars on the flesh he's so worn for his young age. nothing he might be missing at this point but so many things he'll feel very sorry for. it's been 15 springs of loneliness, being a mother for his sisters 15 springs trying to be clever but torn in the end by several excesses that's when he cowardly left them and never confessed. my poor boy is big and strong and will stay strong, you'll be wrong as long he's gonna keep heads up and won't venture underwater. my boy doesn't feel right , he's sick and tired small eyes. rags. poor boy doesn't feel right he's sick and tired small eyes, no smile and dressed in rags.

Really, do i have to read this letter right in front of you ? it's gonna make you laugh or cry because you get upset sometimes you don't want to hear this draft but i commend your courage while you keep your smile on. We knew that all was about growing up we both guess what it says i pull off the veil and start to read what is a shimmering love letter. You collect the gems you brought me. and i the treasures, and in a whisper we escape. is it your voice calling for me? mud trickles from the phone and flow the all ground. Now you lose your gemstones in the middle of the sludge now you hate me me and my treasures. Oh no you dive and fumble but i still listen to to this voice on the phone this voice i adore !

about

collection Lyon, France

Collection accumule les objets sonores glanés sur son chemin, les arrachant à leur utilité pour en susciter un sens nouveau. Dans son cabinet de curiosité, les merveilles fréquentent les monstres et l’abeille tutoie le loup. On tend alors l’oreille à ce que Collection veut bien nous dire de ses obsessions, à ce que la pudeur nous révèle de rugueux, à la sagesse d’un loup qui tutoie une abeille. ... more
