Nesting Doll

Don’t you feel the same as I do?

Wanting to chip away your mirror’s view

I can’t be the only one who’s ever tried

To expel my soul and leave the body behind

I don’t know why I am so different from my eyes

That I can’t see what’s staring back at me

As I trace my flesh, I just remember Gilgamesh

Had a whole flood to himself

Well, I’ve been going about it all wrong

A girl within a nesting doll writing this song

I’ve burned out my strength playing Russian roulette

Except I’ve only fingers pointed at my head

Transformation with no real indication how

Can I really say the world made me this way?

I guess there is worse, but at least a corpse inside a hearse

Don’t gotta drive by itself

Well, I’m not so alone

But my bones I have to own

I’m not here nor there

I’m a little everywhere

I slap nonsense into myself

Until I’m crying to feel some more

If only I knew a way to move

But it’s better here laid on the floor

Where I’m not alone

And the carpet caresses my bones

I’m not quite all there

I am
