The Death (Anorexia) Lyrics
When I was a baby
I could close the world up
In fleshy pink mitts
Now the world flays the infant palms
And the bones drip out in its spit
When I was small
I reached up so high
And grasped at the morning star
Now the wormwood topples down on me
And smashes all my parts
When I was a child
My bones spread out
Like peacock feathers alive
Now the feathers wilt like cancerous boils
Leaving sagging pores in my hide
When I was of age
I saw a gate so wide
And a path so broad for the taking
But the road to everything led to a cliff
Where I sprawled out naked and aching
Now that I’m old I see the light
And I see it was never there
Everything leads to nothing nowhere
And I don’t even care
I could close the world up
In fleshy pink mitts
Now the world flays the infant palms
And the bones drip out in its spit
I reached up so high
And grasped at the morning star
Now the wormwood topples down on me
And smashes all my parts
My bones spread out
Like peacock feathers alive
Now the feathers wilt like cancerous boils
Leaving sagging pores in my hide
I saw a gate so wide
And a path so broad for the taking
But the road to everything led to a cliff
Where I sprawled out naked and aching
And I see it was never there
Everything leads to nothing nowhere
And I don’t even care
