Physical World

Lyrics

Growing, shrinking I don't take care of it 'cause it's "what's inside that counts" And I'm scared of it-- The way it binds me to the "physical world" How it reminds me: Life's a leaf in October But there's no "physical world"-- There's "no inside or out" Air flows through the mouth And into the blood I wanted to see In the third grade: Tiny Medieval sword-- From my grandfather in Spain-- Into my stomach Without pain Or discovery Through screams she found me So no insides came out I wake alone at night To my anxious heart Running wild in my chest A reminder That I have a body So it thumps harder: "- - ---, - - ---" (Panic attack.)
