The Crimson Field (2005)

"Fidelity"
Begin to Hope (2006)
Context: I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart...

J’ai mis tout mon génie dans ma vie; je n’ai mis que mon talent dans mes œuvres.
