Vegetation

from Nausea by Dean Batten

/

lyrics

I have never wanted this before
Steady staring at a closing door
Prostrated on the kitchen floor
Scared out of my mind

Stomach bleeding hours at a time
This is a feeling of a different kind
I don't really want to die, but I really want to die
Starving myself of my meditation
Because now I don't want to be vegetation
Hunting down the existential lie
Passing images from eye to I
I need a clearer view
A better attitude

A dove seen from the prison line
Or a canary in the coal mine
either way, we're running out of time
The roof is caving in

Stomach bleeding hours at a time
This is a feeling of a different kind
I don't really want to die, but I really want to die
Starving myself of my meditation
Because now I don't want to be vegetation
Hunting down the existential lie
Passing images from eye to I
I need a clearer view
A better attitude
I don't really want to die
But I really want to die

I need a clearer view...
A better attitude
