I collect many things

And Keep them all close to me

To the ceiling from the floor

I'm tripping on them constantly

Pixelated faces play

On a blown out TV screen

Footage from a camera

These days I'm fast fowarding

I see a pattern start to form

Over time it's surfacing

Like a face I recognize

It never says anything

I add up all theses moments

In along narrow ledger

Decimals of pain

Intergers of pleasure

The sum of all these parts

I don't how to measure

They keep on adding up

They just keep on adding up

The collector

La collectionneuse

J'ai cueilli ce brin de bruyère

L'automne est morte souviens t'en

Nous ne nous verrons plus sur Terre

Odeur du temps Brin de bruyère

Et souviens-toi que je t'attends

J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arrière

Le cadavre de mes jours

Que lentement passent les heures

Comme passe un enterrement

Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures

Qui passera trop vitement

Comme passent toutes les heures

Et toi mon cœur pourquoi bats-tu

Comme un guetteur mélancolique

J'observe la nuit et la mort

Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure

Les jours s'en vont je demeure

J'ai cueilli ce brin de bruyère

L'automne est morte souviens t'en

Nous ne nous verrons plus sur Terre

Odeur du temps Brin de bruyère

Et souviens-toi que je t'attends

J'ai eu le courage de regarder en arrière

Le cadavre de mes jours

Et toi mon cœur pourquoi bats-tu

Comme un guetteur mélancolique

J'observe la nuit et la mort

Vienne la nuit sonne l'heure

Les jours s'en vont je demeure

Que lentement passent les heures

Comme passe un enterrement

Tu pleureras l'heure ou tu pleures

Qui passera trop vitement

Comme passent toutes les heures

Et toi mon cœur pourquoi bats-tu

Comme un guetteur mélancolique

J'observe la nuit et la mort
