[Spoken Intro - Narrative] Monsieur Charlie has a deep, dark stare A shadow of sorrow follows him there A broken body, tired and small Looking for a corner, to hide from it all [Verse] He just wants a place to fold inside And survive one more endless night Though the darkness may never cease He still believes the sun will rise in peace [Chorus - Sung, Rhymed] But when he looks behind, no one cares His only comfort is the silence he wears Monsieur Charlie walks with no direction Empty streets inside his own reflection [Verse] He whispers lies to his fragile mind Trying to trust the madness he finds Always sitting in the same old chair Ordering the same beer, bitter despair [Bridge - Mixed spoken and sung] Is he celebrating something lost? Or just drowning in the cost? Who he was, who he loved… Who stayed behind, who disappeared above? [Chorus - Sung, Rhymed] But when he looks behind, no one cares His only comfort is the silence he wears Monsieur Charlie walks with no direction Empty streets inside his own reflection [Outro - Whispered Narrative] He gets up and leaves without a word A gaze that says nothing, yet is heard It screams in silence, a soul undone With a broken heart, and no one.
