lyrics

I Speak Not In Jest

I speak not in jest, I am so impressed
By the way your body handles psychic trauma.
You are so young and healthy and fit for a selfie,
Yet inside is a bleedin' pain-o-rama.

Your eyes hurt, your knees hurt,
Your back hurts, your sneeze hurts,
Mysterious pains all around.
Your feet hurt, your ears hurt,
Your hair hurts, your tears hurt,
Mysterious owies abound.

When I get upset, I feel vacant and numb
And queue up Chopin or some shit;
When you get upset, yes, the tears, they might come,
But you won't make a day of it.

You don't feel emotion like we do.
You don't feel emotion like we do.
Your emotive faculties are
A bit underdeveloped,
And we can't say we envy you.

Your eyes hurt, your knees hurt,
Your back hurts, your sneeze hurts,
Mysterious pains all around.
Your feet hurt, your ears hurt,
Your hair hurts, your tears hurt,
Mysterious owies abound.

Sublimation?
Is that what it's called?
Come back to me when you've
Got some feels, lunchmeat.
Peace out, yo. Word to your mother.

I kid, but really, I suspect a few words with her
Would clarify things.
Did she do this to you?
Did she?
It's too bad you can't talk to her anymore;
As I've said, you have my deepest sympathy.

What's that?
Oh, yes, I agree.
It's time we left you alone and
Returned to our old, worn-out, funked-up place
Of sentimental decadence.

What's that?
Oh, yes, I agree,
I am a fucking clown.

Goodnight, my love.
