Hidden behind the door
Lurking in my room
All it takes is for me to step out
My ghosts are waiting for me

They cover me with sheets
Their movements are languid
They slow down my steps
My ghosts follow me

And they slither along the walls
Never far from me
No matter how I change my pace
My ghosts see me

Rubbing shoulders with my friends
Sitting at the same table
I listen to what is being said
My ghosts speak to me

It's like an army, I'm not the leader
It's been years that I've been living with them
No matter how much I chase them, they come back for more
I've tried everything, my ghosts are not wise

With each of my gestures
Even the most daring ones
My looks, my addresses
My ghosts guide me

In a distress signal
I let my sorrow go
My misfortunes, my drunkenness
My ghosts drag me along

If I create a diversion
If I run, if I escape
At the slightest opportunity
My ghosts catch up with me

No matter how much I hide my game
No matter how much I change my voice
Whether I do too much or too little
My ghosts are there

It's like an army, I'm not the leader
It's been years that I've been living with them
No matter how much I chase them, they come back for more
I've tried everything, my ghosts are not wise

I have not succeeded
In getting rid of them
Overwhelmed, therapy
Nothing has ever changed

After all, it's like this
I caress them
I make friends with them
Since they keep me on a leash

It's like an army, I'm not the leader
It's been years that I've been living with them
No matter how much I chase them, they come back for more
I've tried everything, my ghosts are not wise
