I'm alone and my eyes are on fire from the brightness of two on a sunday I wonder what I look like, unshowered, abused by the wind that strangely doesn't affect the tree branches but sweeps up the tiny Chinese lady on Myrtle. Presidential? There were no mirrors for a while People sat shiva until they figured out how to bathe and polish metal Before the Greeks or Romans I didn't look in the mirror this morning But it's more than that How often do I really smile? You see, this is why I can't stand hearing my recorded voice Let alone see myself in a video I'd never be able to do that Without feeling equally ashamed and dissociated But half of me eggs it on The mordbidly curious half that likes seeing gory horror films Come on, I want the cold hard facts. I want to know the icy truth Just like the Sunday afternoon wind.

What The Hell Do I Look Like
I'm alone and my eyes are on fire from the brightness of two on a sunday I wonder what I look like, unshowered, abused by the wind that strangely doesn't affect the tree branches but sweeps up the tiny Chinese lady on Myrtle. Presidential? There were no mirrors for a while People sat shiva until they figured out how to bathe and polish metal Before the Greeks or Romans I didn't look in the mirror this morning But it's more than that How often do I really smile? You see, this is why I can't stand hearing my recorded voice Let alone see myself in a video I'd never be able to do that Without feeling equally ashamed and dissociated But half of me eggs it on The mordbidly curious half that likes seeing gory horror films Come on, I want the cold hard facts. I want to know the icy truth Just like the Sunday afternoon wind.
