Lyrics :::

MOSAIC KING

A great ship
A beautiful ship
And its yours now
Let me grin
I’m laughing
Let me feel
I’m dreaming
Teeth grinding
I’m a Sleeper again
I’m a king
Let me grin
It’s silent here
Your drawing inspired me
Try to be quiet
Disillusion is my fuel
Black myself in soft mirror, white glass, a girl who loves me
It’s a belief
On the night we live
The sky strikes back
Lights undergo, filling the new wave
Fixing, fixing, is it just a dream ?
Somnambulism
Just gripping
The dream of a twin daddy
Ink, overdose, matter
What else should I think ?
What else should I cry ?
Are we robots ?
Mosaic King
Why are you staring at me ?
Why are you staring at me ?
Look at my name !
Hear my name ! And forget it !
I can’t forget my name
I can’t deny my name !
I can’t forget my name
I can’t deny my name !
I can’t regret my name
This is my name !
Mosaic King
Where you are I am

LE NAVIGATEUR DE LUMIERES

Sinistre
Le sinistre n’aura pas lieu
« Tu exagères…
Oui mais j’attends l’exégèse
La vraie…
Tu as rêvé cette nuit ?
Oui
J’ai encore rêvé de l’Animal Qui Parle
J’étais seule sur un bateau
Mais je le voyais, lui.
Il naviguait.
Dans mon sommeil je l’ai appelé …
Mais il n’avait pas de nom
Une porte s’ouvrait. C’était lui. Il entrait.
Une autre porte s’ouvre. C’est à nouveau lui.
Et il entre aussi.
Deux fois ‘Lui’. »
(respirations)

Le navigateur de lumières
Il s’esclaffe
Reprend son souffle
Et continue sa route
Emportant avec lui ses fils, sa femme
Et ses secrets
Le sinistre n’aura pas lieu
« Il m’intrigue
Mais il ne me fait plus peur
Il me réconforte
Et je l’aime »
