She Ain’t Speakin’ Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Like some sepulchral tableau I sit frozen holding your hand Though I'm trying to think only Positive thoughts I understand That this tomorrow May not be the tomorrow that Your eviscerating suffering will end Oh, will you ever be yourself again? [Chorus 1] Girl with the flu, I hear the death rheum She ain't doin' well Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow She ain't speakin' now [Verse 2] Nightfall, like some leaden sea Dilates as I hold vigil by your bed Watching the pillowcase soaking with sweat around your head I can't repel this sneaking veil of morbidity That's disfiguring the seraph of your face Oh, the organism's been debased [Chorus 2] Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune She ain't doin' well Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow She ain't speakin' now [Bridge] You scream that the books Are falling off of the shelf onto you But I can't see them Your hallucination ravings I'm writing them all down so You can read them When your mind no longer aches And your febrility breaks [Chorus 1 + 2] Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune She ain't doin' well Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow She ain't speakin' now Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune She ain't doin' well Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow She ain't speakin' now
