lyrics

Into his brand new veranda
The old man sits
Thinking about insect stings
And mosquito bites he is safe from

A sudden burst of astonishment
Takes hold of his body
Fuzz on his arms, metamorphosis, weird.

Into the mirror
He's like a buzzing fire

Now he is flying driven by hunger 
His sting is cutting through the air
Looking for a juicy feast
He is starving for blood

Down from his flight
He sees that the earth
Is fire-covered
Ubiquity of human kind

Now what? He could poison it
And so turn out the lights

He is the venom himself
He could fix the world
He could give the shine back to stars

And then
He wakes up
To die
In the veranda

from God is a praying mantis, released July 12, 2018
C’est l’histoire d’un vieil homme qui se transforme en moustique alors que pourtant il avait acheté une toute nouvelle véranda avec moustiquaire intégrée et tout.
Stupéfait il file s'admirer dans la glace, un fin duvet noir recouvre son corps et son visage.
Comme il pète la dalle, il monte les escaliers pour s'envoler par le balcon à la recherche d'un bon bol de sang. En survolant le monde des humains complètement recouvert des feux nocturnes, il se dit qu’il pourrait contaminer tout le monde et exterminer cette race de dégénérés pour rendre aux étoiles leur plus bel éclat. Mais il se réveille sous sa véranda, un petit instant avant de refermer les yeux pour toujours...
