Sitting Down in the Shower

Neither wolf nor man, neither blood nor water

Never see your face look like this before

You say we are cattle being driven to the slaughter

And I go out to see my friends, I am not really going anywhere

Taste blood on my lips and a clammy feeling in the air

You look like this every morning and every night

You say I am ok, I say I am feeling all right

And I’ve been having these strange, obscure, intricately plotted dreams

Where you’re still with me but I’m sure you’re just at the periphery of the scene

You are pregnant but it’s with insects, blood pours from my eye sockets

My heart falls out from chest, a cavity I’ll never address

And I am very very very very pure - I am pure

So many people and places that I would rather see than here

‘Cause I want you near me

Cast your mind forward a couple of years to when this will probably all blow over

Hold my head a bit higher, stop sitting down in the shower

Neither dead nor sleeping, neither wide awake nor dreaming

I am just waiting, just waiting for you to leave me
