Place, Pt. 1: No. 4, Maps (Appropriation)

He comforts himself
He comforts himself
By singing under his breath
By singing under his breath
A child in the dark
He comforts himself
He comforts himself
By singing under his breath
By singing under his breath
A child in the dark
Like a map with no ocean
Every time you think you're walking, you're just moving the ground
He walks and halts to his speech
He walks and halts to his speech
The song is like a sketch
The song is like a sketch
Of a calming and stabilizing
This year I turn 36
Every time you think you're talking, You're just moving your mouth
This year I turn 36
Every time you think you're talking, You're just moving your mouth
He skips as he sings
He skips as he sings
Calm and stable
Calm and stable
A center in the heart of chaos
Maps: they don't love you like I love you
Maps: they don't love you like I love you
Maps: they don't love you like I love you
Him. He
Him. He
Him. He
Him. He
He has only heard what I
Him. He
Him. He
He is far away but I
Him. He
Him. He
Him. He
Him. He
Him He Him He Him He Him He
Him He Him He Him He Him He
Him He Him He Him He Him He
Him but dimly across the ocean
I felt
He
He is far away but I
I See him
But dimly across the ocean
And the continents that have
Fallen between us. Us. He

Place, Pt. 1: No. 4, Maps (Appropriation)

Il se réconforte
Il se réconforte
En chantant tout bas
En chantant tout bas
Un enfant dans le noir
Il se réconforte
Il se réconforte
En chantant tout bas
En chantant tout bas
Un enfant dans le noir
Comme une carte sans océan
Chaque fois que tu penses marcher, tu déplaces juste le sol
Il marche et s'arrête pour parler
Il marche et s'arrête pour parler
La chanson est comme un croquis
La chanson est comme un croquis
D'un calme et d'une stabilité
Cette année j'ai 36 ans
Chaque fois que tu penses parler, tu bouges juste ta bouche
Cette année j'ai 36 ans
Chaque fois que tu penses parler, tu bouges juste ta bouche
Il saute en chantant
Il saute en chantant
Calme et stable
Calme et stable
Un centre au cœur du chaos
Cartes: elles ne t'aiment pas comme je t'aime
Cartes: elles ne t'aiment pas comme je t'aime
Cartes: elles ne t'aiment pas comme je t'aime
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Il n'a entendu que ce que j'
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Il est loin mais je
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Lui. Il
Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui
Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui
Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui Lui
Lui, mais faiblement à travers l'océan
Je l'ai senti
Il
Il est loin mais je
Je Le vois
Mais faiblement à travers l'océan
Et les continents qui ont
Tombés entre nous. Nous. Il
