[Intro] You did not desire... (no) You imitated... Then you signed... [Verse 1] The model points to the object... You, you salivate... (crave) You think it was born inside you... It was born between... Mimic... Borrowed desire... (secondhand) Secondhand will... The closer the model is, the harder it burns... Brother. Master. Pocket god... Same altar. Same prey... The mediator becomes an obstacle... The obstacle becomes sacred... (holy war) [Pre-chorus] You do not want the thing... You want to be the one who holds it... That is why it kills... [Chorus] MIMIC... Your desire has no clean blood... It wears another man's face... You run toward the object and you meet a twin... (look in the mirror) Then you look for a scapegoat so you don't have to see the glass... [Verse 2] The scandal rises... Two of the same. Only one seat... The crowd needs a name... Any name at all, as long as it bleeds enough to glue the pack back together... The scapegoat explains nothing... He stops the noise... (silence) They elevate him... They crush him... Then they tell the story that he deserved it... [Pre-chorus] The myth begins when the victim becomes a monster so that no one recognizes the imitation... [Chorus] MIMIC... Your desire has no clean blood... It wears another man's face... You run toward the object and you meet a twin... (look in the mirror) Then you look for a scapegoat so you don't have to see the glass... [Breakdown] Who did you copy before you called it freedom? (who?) Who taught you how to want before you knew how to speak? MIMIC... Your "I" is an armed echo... Your enemy is too much like you... That is why you hate him... (kill him) [Bridge] Revealing the goat breaks the magic... No more easy peace... No more sacred made from a corpse... There remains naked desire, with no origin of its own, without an alibi... [Final chorus] MIMIC... You were not the source... Not of choice... Not of light... Not of will... Antenna again— but plugged into the crowd... Imitate... Rival... Sacrifice... Then sleep... The threshold has won again... [Outro] Look at whoever you want... (watch) You will see who you are... Stop looking for a guilty man... The model is already in the room...
