lyrics

Part 1: DRIPPING CLOUD

(Instrumental)

Part 2: NO SUN CAN SHINE

(Instrumental)

Part 3: DARKNESS

The show is done, the words are gone.
The act is finished and it’s all foolish.
‘Cause after me, there will be more.
The final curtain, is not down yet.

I wonder what will happen after me?

Alone in my darkness, I can hear the silence roar.
My girl is not with me. I feel pain in my bones.

I’m scared to death and I feel it.
It’s the end.

Part 4: DELIRIUM

(Instrumental)

Part 5: OPEN LETTER TO MY FRIENDS

Hello, Hello. Hello you all.
I’ve been your friend. I loved you so.
Don’t be afraid ‘cause I won’t tell.
I had you all in my cyber bed.

You came to me to get some love.
You stripped naked, revealed your souls.
A secret need to be debauched.
Girls and boys, I pleased you all.

House wives inhibition turned to flame.
Young virgin hearts, I depraved.
You wanted more. I gave you more.

Desire, lust, sensuality.
Degraded sex, bestiality.
Innocence lost. Forbidden love.

You told me your dirty fantasies.
Carnal dreams I kept in secrecy.
It’s time to tell a little about me.
So my friends, please meet The Prince.

I played my role of mystery.
Displayed my charms, my gallantry.
You loved my poems. You drank my words.

I’m just a fraud. Sad and ugly.
Can’t get no girls. No sexuality.
I needed love. Need to be loved.

Today’s the last you’ll hear from me.
This sharp knife will make love to me.
Will enter me. Last debauchery.

Let me show you the true me.
My mother tongue is my last gift.
Laissez-moi mourir. Ma façon de jouir.
Ma vie coule vers le néant. Le Prince coule avec ce sang.

Part 6: FAREWELL FROM THE LONE POET

I feel so down again.
Feel trapped in my own head.
No drugs can free me.
Cheap sex kills me.
I need to get off.
I crave for freedom.
Ain’t no solution.
I lost my vision.
It’s slowly killing me.
Killing me surely.
I’m going crazy.
Crazier than me.

LAUGHS

Existence Montreal, Québec

Existence started as a “rock-opera” project written by Alan Charles. Joined by other musicians, the band took the name of the project before starting touring in 1992.

The album Small People, Short Story, Little Crime came out in 1999.

In 2017, Existence released the complete original concept as the ably titled Origins album, since only half of it had been released as an album until then. ... more
