I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall...
Eet was my first mission, eet was een England. Eet was a diplomatic one, so...
I was clean, my hair was looking perfect and i looked like a penguin.
My objective was a man called Gray Tavardine, a writter from Birmingham, he was blonde, with icy blue eyes and a voice zhat could make my cigarrete burn completely.
I was about... 11 or 12 years, but... You know what zhey say, french boys grow faster.
I'd say i looked about some 16-18. And zhose days i was looking particulary handsome.
And he had zhat smile...
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
He used to say he loved my accent...
He talked a lot to me, he teached me how to smoke wizhout leaving my zeeth yellow.
He loved my brown hair. Or so he said.
So i loved my hair too.
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
He had gorgeous blue eyes.
Watching straight to zhem was like looking at zhe frozen oceans of Greenland...
Zhey were as cold as zhat sea, too.
You could not zell eef he was happy, sad, pissed off or eef he was about to kick your ass.
He said my eyes were like watching ze Amazon Jungle with ze rain of ze mornings.
I loved my eyes for zhat.
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
He believed on zhe Monesvol. I founded eet so funny.
He was so smart. He knew how to made people do whatever he wanted zhem to.
He was a great kisser too.
A REALLY great one.
French kisses never zasted so good before heem...
He gave zhem to me wizhout leaving all of zhat terrible wetness on my lips.
He had a cool tattoo on his lower back, eet was a sort of winged snake.
He said zhat ze snakes were just like heem. Manipulative, sneaky and evil.
I didn't believed zhat of heem.
I spend so much time Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
He invited me over to hees house, eet was huge, i zhink i've never seen a house so big in my entire life, and eet was so elegant.
Just like heem.
He said he loved me.
He began wizh zhose great kisses. And began to run hees hands all over me, touching ze tattoo he take me to do on my right leg...
The next zhing i knew, i was on hees bed, he was on top of me.
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
He knew who i was.
He knew i was commeeseeoned to keell heem.
He used me and zhrew me away.
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
When i woke up, zhe INTERPOL was zhere.
Just waiting for me to get up.
Zhey were pointing zheir guns to me, i was completely helpless.
And i was feeling like a piece of shit.
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
I asked zhem for heem. Zhey told me zhat he had said zhat i was seducing heem.
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there
He sent me a letter when i was in ze prison.
He said he really do loved me.
But zhat i was a huge danger for heem.
My first zhought was killing heem.
Say your prayers.
I cried instead.
Say your prayers.
Gregory managed to get me out of zhat place one or two months after.
I was still very sad, i could hardly get up.
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
He said he loved my accent.
I started to hate my accent. I hated my french words.
He said he loved my brown hair... I dyed my hair black, red and ozher colours before i realized zhat ze zhing i hated ze most, was zhat all of my body reminded me to heem.
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
He loved my eyes, or so he said.
I just wanted to rip zhem off.
I tried, but Gregory stoped me.
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise
I hate ze snakes now.
I really hate zhem.
And ze saddest zhing of zhat all, ees zhat everytime zhat i took a shower i remember heem...
And zhis will be forever.
Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Now i can't look at ze icebergs...
Nor listen to ze atheist speak.
I can't stand ze kisses, i can't stand being touched for long.
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
"Ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in ora mortis nostrae."
Eet reads on my leg like zhe most terrible of all ironies.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
