Crystal

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon)

She always dressed in white
Moved in a cool breeze
To shine into the night
And find someone to please
Her silence is ice cold
Frozen in time
Like shivers in her soul
Her heart is hard to find

Trapped by you
Closing in
Suddenly leaving me in a daze
Beyond the darkest night
There is a light of dawn

She takes you by surprise
Always like before
She comes into your life
Like a whisper from the north
She wakes you in a chill
Her presence come and gone
Somehow against your will
Into the midnight sun

Trapped by you
Closing in
Suddenly leaving me in a daze
Beyond the darkest night
There is a light of dawn

Wondering

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon)

Walking in the moonlight
Feeling distant as a fading star
Letting your space surround me
My heart is in the shadows of the night

Leaving me wondering
As the darkness takes over my senses
I’m left wondering unexplainably walking the night
Enchanted by its haunting mysteries

Everything left behind
I can now find what I need
All the answers I reach for
Are simply there waiting above me
Trying to see in the future
Wishing I could fly away to you
Turning my night into day
My only vision comes into the light

Leaving me wondering
As the darkness takes over my senses
I’m left wondering unexplainably walking the night
Enchanted by its haunting mysteries
Leaving me wondering

Mr. & Mrs. Grin

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon, M. Vernier)


They never smiled on a sunny day
They never wished upon a star
They try to hide their pain away
It’s just the way they are
They never looked in each other’s eyes
They say it’s been alright so far
They never laugh, they never try
It’s just the way they are
Just the way they are, so far
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
Are walking down the street
On a cool November day
And when the light turns green

Mr. & Mrs. Grin
Have nothing more to say
They never smiled on a sunny day
They never wished upon a star
They try to hide their pain away
It’s just the way they are
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
They never had a dream
Nothing they can remember
And how strange it might seem
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
They don't think it matters
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
Have never found their way
They don't know any better
And how strange it might seem
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
They'll always stay together
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
Are walking down the street
On a cool November day
And when the light turns green
Mr. & Mrs. Grin
Have nothing more to say

Thursday Afternoon

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon)

It never crossed my mind
That I would be in this situation
Did you cast a spell on me
Or is it my imagination
It could have been a magic word
Something said on a Thursday afternoon
A simple word that maybe you whispered
In the air around me

What have you done with my heart
I feel it’s been taken away from me
And for no reason at all
I lost my reality

It could have been the light in your eyes
Maybe your smile on a Thursday afternoon
A simple look across the room
In that instant I surrendered
This hold you have on me
No understanding this fascination
Did you cast a spell on me
Or is it my imagination

What have you done with my heart
I feel it’s been taken away from me
And for no reason at all
I lost my reality

My Game

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston)

You cannot hide from me in the shadows of night
Like a cat I will make my way into your mind dressed in black
Never quite knowing who I really am
Lost in my game, enter my world
I'll taunt and seduce you until you are on your knees
Wanting me there beside you in your arms constantly
You'll dream of my kisses all through the night
Lost in my game, enter my world
Leaving you in the dust all without shame
I'll creep out of your life
Never knowing what hit you I'll be gone like a flash
You won't remember your own name
Playing my game, all without shame
On to the next never looking back still caught in my trap
My life is a lie, I cannot deny
Lost in my own game
You cannot hide from me in the shadows of night
Like a cat I will make my way into your mind dressed in black
Playing my game, all without shame

Empty Promises

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon)

Sometimes I just don't believe my actions
Sitting thinking thoughts of my life and you
Why am I waiting
I hate putting things on hold
Just because you ask me
You don’t come through at all
Honey you don’t come through

Empty promises
Creating a distance between us
Losing my faith in our love
Things will never be the same
All those moments seem to fade
As the dawn of yesterday
I’m going away

Leaving me upset and confused
I’ve done so much for you
But it seems as though you don’t care
There’s nothing I can do
Why am I waiting

Empty promises
Creating a distance between us
Losing my faith in our love
Things will never be the same
All those moments seem to fade
As the dawn of yesterday
I’m going away

Sail

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, A. Mongeon)

A ship is moving on the waters
A sailor on his desert sea
He’s dancing with the wind
In front of the unknown
Are you coming back to me
She still hopes that he’ll come through
He’s moving on troubled waters
She wants him in her arms
He’s got her sweet voice in mind

Sail to the open sea
The land is far behind you
Sail to the open sea
We will all be missing you

And the wind from heaven had blown
As she slowly closed her eyes
Her angel then appeared
A smile warmed her heart
Are you coming back to me

Sail to the open sea
The land is far behind you
Sail to the open sea
We will all be missing you...

Insomnia

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston, S. Pellerin)

Blinded by my own darkness
I’m overcome by the shadows
That slowly enter
Wishing I could venture
Somewhere beyond myself
A place where I know I can pretend
That everything is calm
As I remember it
Wandering through these twisted streets
In my ever sleepless nights
Silence takes hold
Overpowering control
Take me away, take me away
For a moment...just for a moment
Tired of being a slave of this state of mind
Where days are never ending
The stare of the moon through my window
Keeps me from leaving this place
Wandering through these twisted streets
In my ever sleepless nights
I simply cannot find
Silence takes hold
Overpowering control
Take me away

Just a Dream

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston)

It’s all not very clear
This picture seems gray
Transmission interfered
I feel a sense of fear
Coming over myself
Strange, incomprehensible
Trying to find focus
Along this path of thorns
The light is burning brighter
Are you here to guide me
I think I see you now
Or is it true, I can’t tell
Is this a dream
But wait, wait, please don’t go
Now I see
The image of you here
Somehow you’re familiar
Can we help each other
I just want you to stay
Just a little while longer
The light is burning brighter
Are you here to guide me
I think I see you now
Or is it true, I can’t tell
Is this a dream
But wait, wait, please don’t go
I want to feel you
But your vision’s getting weak
Do you want to tell me something
Is this why you came
I want to know
What the hell is going on
The light is getting dimmer
You’ve turned and walked away from me
I can hardly see you now
Have you left for good
Will you ever come back
Wait, wait please don’t go
It’s just a dream...

Dusk to Dawn

(D. Bouliane, G. Johnston)

I’m passing through the doors of perception
The sky has changed its colors
These shades and shadows form all around me
Like bridging dusk to dawn

Looking out into this horizon
Laid out so perfectly
Can’t tell where I fit in this painting
As the sun slowly rises
Fading out this brilliant sight
Leaving me wanting more & more

I’m passing through the doors of perception
The sky has changed its colors
These shades and shadows form all around me
Like bridging dusk to dawn

All the colors melt together
A reflection of my soul
Reaching out into the unknown
As the sun slowly rises
Fading out this brilliant sight
Leaving me wanting more and more

I’m passing through the doors of perception
The sky has changed its colors
These shades and shadows form all around me
Like bridging dusk to dawn
