Lyrics
Vingt heures une, sur le quai de la Bourse, le métal dans la bouche.
La sueur sur mon cou est plus froide que la drache de retour de course.
Mon estomac se noue, une architecture hostile.
Chaque synapse est un fil de verre, incroyablement fragile.
[Chorus]
C'est le contrepoids, le contrepoids.
Un gramme de sable pour un kilo d'effroi.
Ça va aller, la structure ploie.
Mais ne rompt pas, ne rompt pas.
[Verse 2]
Le grondement sourd de mon propre sang dans la veine.
J'entends ton "ça va?" comme une question lointaine.
La faim qui creuse un vide sous le sternum, un écho.
Mon corps est une façade pour un chantier au Maroc.
[Chorus]
C'est le contrepoids, le contrepoids.
Un gramme de sable pour un kilo d'effroi.
Ça va aller, la structure ploie.
Mais ne rompt pas, ne rompt pas.
[Bridge]
Mes mains tremblent un peu, juste assez pour le voir.
La fondation est faite de sable, ce soir.
[Chorus]
C'est le contrepoids, le contrepoids.
Un gramme de sable pour un kilo d'effroi.
Ça va aller, la structure ploie.
Mais ne rompt pas, ne rompt pas.
[Outro]
Le clic du métronome. Le poids. Encore une fois.
