LYRICS GAME

I've always needed to admire

Find a model to aim at so not to

Wreck the horizon

I like the world less than life

A few of us are like that

Clinging to madness

So we don't fall into the beyond

Splash

And if imagination

Can soothe reason

I had to try it

Just to find something to sing you

Other than my digestion

You might think that's dumb

But I admit my gurgles

Are kind of my reminder I'm alive

I say this just to make clear

That I'm not sad

Just exhausted

It's been a while

I don't find models anymore

My gaze has grown too cruel

As a last resort I see

Only the unconscious to kill the pattern

To those I drove crazy

I'm truly sorry

And for the others

Being honest

That was the quest

So we'll part without an answer

But I hope this hour

Hasn't calmed our monsters

The worst one is inside

Let's say there's no fault

Let's stop being arrogant

Each of us hurts in others

Even though it comes from within

That's why

I finally let you show up

Described as clearly as I could

My carcass's inside

A flatshare without a terrace

There are only two of them but that's enough

They help each other while they challenge each other

A fierce struggle that, I think

Builds the framework

Of their roof

In the dressing room

At eight p.m

In front of the mirror

I have to

Turn my pain into light

The curtain opens

And here you are

Fierce, that's a fierce word

Do you think he did it on purpose

So we'd have our mouths full of it

The moment we say it

It's just an old word

Like soul

Like flair

Like ladies-and-gentlemen

Good evening, good evening, good evening

I do

Ones that work, some

That pass

They even applaud me

Whatever I do

The spiral

We do gigs and gigs

And rooms and rooms

Bucks and entrance halls

Of festivals

They tell me I'm lucky

To crisscross everyday France

I just wanted to do

My intermittent thing

I get your bravo, bravo, bravo

I feel them sincere

I get your bravo, bravo, bravo

In full struggle

In full war

Of ego

Now I feel it

I see it

My clumsy love

I hold it tight, I know

That it's when I love

That I drown

In resentment, in anger

In the contempt that breeds ulcers

My body screams at me to stop

Mixing hatred

With frustrated love

I couldn't stand our screw-ups

I think it's time to apologize

I can't believe we're bad

We just don't know how to talk

We first have to defend ourselves

Stay dignified, stay upright

In a logic of evolution

The mistake isn't in the rules

The flaw's a cracked thing

Honesty, where to find it

Come on, we have to let go

To hook back on

You gotta wipe out

I haven't calmed down

I've just burned out

But you know that

Already, you see, I can do it

1:15 or so

During the gigs

To please you, please you

But our lives return

And mine too

Offstage

I get your bravo, bravo, bravo

I feel them sincere

I get your bravo, bravo, bravo

In full struggle

In full war

Of ego

I made my point face to face

With the young woman

In the mirror

And the only thing left to do

Is say sorry with open arms

Now I feel it

I know it, I see it

Your clumsy love

I hug it, I hope so

And then

I see myself there
