Mr/Mme

Good evening sir, madam
Today, I tell you everything
I prefer to talk to you informally
Because I don't like the formal 'you'
I find it ages
And I want to stay small
A kid for life
Without tissues, nor screams

So, I'll tell you everything
About the drama I'm living
Everyday, in hell
That's where I am
I want to leave
Escape far from everything
From this world of madmen
And go I don't know where

This world strangles me, crushes me and burns me
Destroys me, prevents me from living in my bubble
So, I want to leave
Far from everything, just run away
Let me run far
Let's banish this world

If God says that suicide is a sin then
Let him say how I leave, without harming him
Let him turn me into what doctors call crazy
And maybe then I'll see things blurred

So, dear Mr. D
Help me, love me
I can't do it
In this world that I see
In this world of struggles
Where Man is just a brute
Where love is nothing
But quarrels and disputes

I want to write myself a world
A planet just for me
A planet on which
I would feel like myself
A renewal without chains
Devoid of hatred
A planet on which
You would give me wings

A new universe
Where tears, sorrows
Would be just a myth, a damn urban legend
So, let me go
Tell me how to escape
Enough questions asked
Let me, I want to leave everything

The only thing I love
In your creation, Man
Is that he can dream every night, like kids
Whether old, young, ugly
Kind, or even ugly
We have the right to dream, even with nothing in our pockets

Beggar, I implore the evening
I beg for hope
But the night is stingy
Madam keeps her morphine
Because I haven't paid
Or at least, not enough
Born to parents without fortune
She denies me the moon

Since indeed, in this world
We can live without these numbers
That your children have turned into evil monsters
You earn them every month
You lose them every day
The bill is severe
I return it, I leave hell

It's true, I admit maybe defeated
I admit it, I assume it
Life devours me with a bitter taste
So, hear me scream
Vomit all my guts
In this sound that tells the life of a pessimistic fool

I feel alone, damn
No one holds my hand
No one to share this glory with, damn
I walk alone on a path
That seems endless
I speed up but no one waits for me at the end

So, every evening, I drink
I get wasted
To forget that deep down
Success makes you lonely
Few friends, little life
I'm locked in a vacuum
Full of enemies, no way out
God, I need a guide

Some idiots will say
That I'm overdoing it, exaggerating
But I don't give a damn about those fools
Because I'm young and I'm struggling
In my head it's a mess
Who turned off the light?
Mom, I can't see clearly anymore
I need to be enlightened

First it's happiness
When you give to your heart
To feed a love
That soothes your pains
You forget your sorrow
But deep down it's just a lure
In this generation of fools, filled with liars

Once the heart is broken
No need to call it
Solitude arrives
It quickly comes to find you
It doesn't wait for you to open, no
It enters without knocking
Your blues are her snack time

So you, who are you?
Deep down, do you know?
Because I no longer know who I am, I'm lost
My ambition is great
Hard to satisfy
My happiness tastes like a bitter flavor

So, sir, madam
I admit, I'm unhappy
And yet I live from my childish dream
But it's stronger than me
I still miss that
That and that over there
Always more, that's how I am

So, I hope that one day
I can make love
To a sincere person
Who won't play games with me
I'm really tired
Of giving without returns
I'm fed up with loving myself, without a soulmate, it's heavy

But know nonetheless
That on stage, thanks to you
I feel far from this crazy world
Because I write when I mess up
And I laugh when I dance
And I live when I sing
And for all that, I say
Thank you
