Homeless


Song "Homeless" : click here

Lyrics

In this house where I grew up
With cozy chairs and broken cups
Memories piled up to the ceiling
Can they tell what I am feeling

I know this house outside and in
But three birds fly upon my skin
Lay my head down in the darkness
Like so many nights before this

In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless

My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless

Heavy steps on hardwood floors
Into my room trough broken doors
Try to leave this day behind me
But peace will never find me

In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless

My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless

I have a place I can call my own
That's where I go til the night is gone
I travel my mind and into my heart
Nobody knows when I go that far

In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless

My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless


French : 

Dans cette maison où j'ai grandi
Avec des chaises confortables et des tasses cassées
Les souvenirs empilés jusqu'au plafond 
Peuvent-ils dire ce que je ressens ?

Je connais cette maison de l'extérieur et de l'intérieur 
Mais trois oiseaux volent sur ma peau 
Je pose ma tête dans les ténèbres 
Comme tant de nuits avant ça

Dans ce lit où je me repose
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi
Cette maison que je connais le mieux
Mais je n'ai pas de chez-moi

Ma faim grandit
Et elle ne veut pas me laisser
Et elle brûle dans ma poitrine
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi

Pas lourds sur des planchers de bois
Dans ma chambre à travers des portes cassées
J'essaie de laisser ce jour derrière moi
Mais la paix ne me trouvera jamais

Dans ce lit où je me repose
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi
Cette maison que je connais le mieux
Mais je n'ai pas de chez-moi

Ma faim grandit
Et elle ne veut pas me laisser 
Et elle brûle dans ma poitrine
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi

J'ai une place que je peux dire mienne
C'est là où je vais jusqu'à ce que la nuit soit partie
Je voyage dans mon esprit et dans mon cœur
Personne ne sait quand je m'en vais si loin

Dans ce lit où je me repose
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi
Cette maison que je connais le mieux
Mais je n'ai pas de chez-moi

Ma faim grandit
Et elle ne veut pas me laisser 
Et elle brûle dans ma poitrine
Je n'ai pas de chez-moi
