Foreign to what I see, it sends me back to my trenches
I don't understand anything anymore despite all my studies
Yet Cartesian but, leaning over the void
The optimist could disappear in the Bermuda Triangle
Arms outstretched, balls at my feet, I tip over because of weights
Standing, alone, and disoriented, rocked by a song of gesture
At the prow, prey to doubt
I remove the cape of good hope
And if my clandestine dreams in the hold
Were they leaving France?
My books are blank but their pages are dog-eared
I can no longer distinguish north from south
My books are blank but their pages are dog-eared
The abscissas are disordered

At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans

On a deep blue wave, the optimist overturns
The abscissas are disordered unless it's the other way around
On a deep blue wave, the optimist overturns
The abscissas are disordered unless it's the other way around

In my head it's a jungle
Neurons knotted like lianas to branches
The fake flowers of magicians fade
They no longer have a dove up their sleeve
While we dream of reigning and weaving our webs
At night, I hoist the sail to rename the stars
The weights on my shoulders will not make me bend
On the treasure map, clues are rare
Let them build hell, I won't fall into their abysses
You'll have to throw me in, throw me in fists and voice tied
I will sing, so that the ropes stiffen
With throat deployed so that Orpheus hears me better than Eurydice
My books are blank and their pages are dog-eared
The abscissas are disordered

At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans

On a blood red wave, the optimists jostle
The abscissas are disordered, the given order tips the balance
On a blood red wave, the optimists jostle
The abscissas are disordered, the given order tips the balance

At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
At this stage the sea is calm but who knows for how long?
Fear has been flooring us since they started fighting in clans
