La Collectionneuse

[00:18.69] I collect many things
[00:22.51] And keep them all close to me
[00:26.54] To the ceiling from the floor
[00:30.39] I'm tripping on them constantly
[00:50.96] Pixelated faces play
[00:54.85] On the blown out TV screen
[00:58.80] Footage from a camera,
[01:02.69] These days I'm fast-forwarding
[01:22.93] I see a pattern start to form
[01:26.63] Over time it's surfacing
[01:30.44] Like a face I recognize
[01:34.12] It never says anything
[01:38.72] I add up all these moments
[01:40.69] In a long narrow ledger
[01:42.60] Decimals of pain
[01:44.35] Integers of pleasure
[01:46.60] The sum of all these parts
[01:48.49] I don't know how to measure
[01:50.52] They keep on adding up
[01:52.25] They just keep on adding up
[01:54.22] The collector, la collectioneuse
[02:02.21] The collector, la collectioneuse
[02:10.52] The collector, la collectioneuse
[02:18.30] The collector, la collectioneuse
[02:42.65] J'ai cueilli ce brin de bruyere
[02:44.51] L'automne est morte souviens-t'en
[02:46.47] Nous ne nous verrons plus sur terre
[02:48.69] Odeur du temps brin de bruyere
[02:50.67] Et souviens-toi que je t'attends
[02:56.68] J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arriere
[02:58.89] Les cadavres de mes jours
[03:02.31] Que lentement passent les heures
[03:04.66] Comme passe un enterrement
[03:06.78] Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures
[03:08.62] Qui passera trop vitement
[03:11.12] Comme passe toutes les heures.
[03:15.63] Et toi mon coeur pourquoi bats-tu?
[03:17.76] Comme un guetteur melancolique
[03:19.70] J'observe la nuit et la mort
[03:23.71] Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure
[03:25.86] Les jours s'en vont je demeure
[04:36.70]
