lyrics

You know the look slack jaw eyes wide
Working the phantom face a clear white sky
Quick blink quick twitch side to side
That's me half the time
At least half the time

You know the face sick flicking eyes
Working the slack jaw side to side
Quick phantom blink wide phantom stride
That's me half the time
At least half the time

You know the phantom slow weary sigh
Working the clear white slack inside
That's me half the time
At least half the time

--

You want to press my glass
Feel your firm new flesh press back
Well I was water sugar and you've fallen in
Now I wash over you fresh again

I am the fish in your hand
I am the missing rug
I have no use for dry land
Here in the hole that I've dug

--

My baby carries a thermometer in her purse
And strain in her face from always bracing against the worst
She says everyone has a secret love affair with a malady
So don't take it out on yourself

We're suckling it we're suckling it honey
Sniffing for lions in our headlines and live feeds
We're suckling it we're suckling it honey
With hall-of-mirrors smiles administering our IVs
We're suckling it we're suckling it honey
To the sound of a heartbeat

Eyes tongues and dreams glued to the sheen
Wooing a malady
