I saw a body in the bathtub
Looked kinda funny from the ceiling
I knew I knew it but I couldn't put my finger on the face
And then it came suddenly
It was my body displaced
What you are is not what you see
Anything you can see cannot be what you are
Look here I'm not trying to tear your house apart
I'm just trying to suck the pain from your suffering sacred heart
Nobody's going to fry
Nobody no matter the crime
I hate to pant your black and whites
But it's OK to not know what happens when you die
Hiding in my skin is space
And I have dreamed up this place
Believe nothing and remember
This body belongs to the landscape
The wind fills up my lungs like sails
We all end up with dirt under our nails
We are cameras for a while trying to capture our best side
Not the body in the bathtub
Not the one floating above
Not in any fixed position
There's no one behind the face
Nobody's going to fry
Nobody no matter the crime
I hate to pant your black and whites
But it's OK to not know what happens when you die
Nobody knows
