CHAIR

8:27
The blue sky almost makes the hospital look nice
Almost
You're 17, almost 17 and a half
A huge lump in your heart
You cross the courtyard, hoping not to run into anyone
That it won't last long
One pill and there you go
The shame, it will pass
You're like the pierced child that the future will fill
But it's too early for that (but it's too early for that)
Barbara, are you sure?
They explain life to you, around you it's bustling
And then there's this phrase thrown in your face
But you're just a whore, that's what happens, yeah
You're not protected and you might be sterile
Should've thought about it
Of course you thought about it (of course you thought about it)
8:50
You leave that room shattered
Full of guilt

My flesh, my body
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my body
My body, my body

You're 20, 20 is beautiful, right?
Yet you don't really know, confidence at zero
You drink too many glasses to feel a little less
You show off, you act tough, you act as if nothing
But deep down you see yourself as they see you
Worthless, no future, no tenderness, no pleasure
And you believe sex is linked to violence
You believe the essential is to keep face
If you play well, it works
When you play well, everything works
You run forward to avoid listening to yourself
Not understanding yourself, not even respecting yourself
You cut your hair short, tattoo yourself with nonsense
The small defeats, the parties that degenerate
And the tears at dawn, what can you do?

My flesh, my body
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my body
My body, my body

You're 26, the blue sky almost makes the boulevard look nice
Almost
You're 26, almost 26 and a half
Now you feel ready, you hear yourself resonate
And then surrender
Now you listen to yourself (now you listen to yourself)
You know you have the right to let go
And say I love you (I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
To offer your skin lots of other memories
Of love, respect, kisses, desire
To offer your skin lots of other memories
Love, respect, kisses, desire

Without knowing, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh
Without knowing, you will move forward
You will move towards your flesh, my dear
Now that we know, we move forward
Move towards our beloved flesh
Move towards our healed flesh
Move towards our flesh

Without knowing, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh
Without knowing, you will move forward
You will move towards this flesh, my dear
Now that we know, we move forward
Move towards our beloved flesh
Move towards our healed flesh
Move towards our flesh

My flesh, my body
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my body
My flesh, my flesh
My flesh, my flesh
