Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I, I tried to ask:
What is a performance?
What is to write?
Who is telling it?
When nobody wants to speak
Someone wrote:
"... a performance is something that takes place
Or, even better, someone who is present".
But I don't know what it is in your case…
… to be present …
She wants to disappear, she wants to be ashes, musk, breath
She has worked on it her whole life
She has worked on it her whole life
To resist
To breathe out, trying not to breathe in too much
"If I only breathe mostly out
I will rid myself
Of myself"
Sign me out, out of the digital earth
Erase me, erase me from brittle pages
Write me out, out of the manuscript
Open up your mouth
Exhale me with your cigarette smoke
Like you gave me life, now set me free
I don't know what free is
But I think you do
Take responsibility for your forms
Or maybe not
Or maybe not
Or maybe not
