Paint it 05:08
Call me liar Time goes by as we stare I feel (that) the earth is falling Falling down on my chest Crossing this river The colors and the shades Whispered to me to stay In the ground, in my grave yeah yeah… Dash away; come again straight away through the fields Broken bones, sticky bin, clean your thoughts, have a seat Built a boat, kill your friends sail away on the seas Stupid I, deserve? Talking circles Blew me on the trees Skin turns dirty To feel like the engraved ones Beheaded angels Sang choruses in the dark And me and my poor verses Try to make work it out out out… I will draw a picture of her, sitting on the bridge, below the river Can we find out our innocence and realize we’re the luckiest ones?

This slow move you had when the scorn surfaced, your contempt The hours I spent to translate your words that still don't make sense Finally I learned how not to smile To not seem too weak If I went out of fear would you apologize? Are you too blind to see me ? Tears & lies open the skies above you As a surprise, I still feel hatred over you So I tried to speak a word but nothing came out and scratched my nails I locked myself into silence as long as I could. Who really cared ? Waited for better days from dusk till dawn, if I could sleep away... My hand still shake, but I clench my fist. You don't mean shit to me now. Tears & lies open the skies above you As a surprise, I still feel hatred over you Come on show your face, come on show me how you do

Breaking out into abuse and I wish you could have seen how I fought against the night. That was torturing me. Loneliness and lazyness has finally disappeared. When my body says "I can't", my mind screams to me that I can. Don't scratch the stitches. You've been answered. Restore the memories and face yourself. Laid back in your car and I hope you could have felt why I didn't dare to ask why your light don't shine on me. Simplicity taught me : never say die. So I'll run and won't be back but I'll still make you remember that Don't scratch the stitches. You've been answered. Restore the memories and face yourself. Please, don't scratch the stitches. Damn, you've been answered. Restore the memories and face yourself.

about

ENGLISH ///
2014. After touring through France, from a nice confortable flat in Grenoble to a decayed abandoned factory in Caen, Malhabile brings his second EP "Clench your teeth".

This raw and luminous songwriter reveals his love for incandescent melodies that suggest, question and reassure. Malhabile succeeds ,with a disarming sincerity, to cut space and time. "Clench your teeth" is one of those records you'll get back to. Naturally.

FRENCH ///
2014. Après une tournée qui l'a emmené aux quatre coins de l'Hexagone, du confort délicat d'un appartement isérois aux installations délicieusement archaïques d'un squat caennais, Malhabile est de retour avec "Clench Your Teeth", son deuxième EP.

Songwriter rugueux et néanmoins lumineux, cet Avignonnais d'adoption dévoile ici l'écrin rêvé pour son amour des mélodies incandescentes qui donnent à penser. Qui questionnent. Qui rassurent. Malgré son passif de gros dur, qui lui a permis de cogner les fûts et cisailler les cordes d'une demi-douzaine de groupes inexorablement bruyants, Malhabile parvient, avec un naturel désarmant, à découper en fines lamelles toute notion d'espace et de temps. "Clench Your Teeth" fait partie de ces disques folk dont on s'éprend.
