we write songs just abstract enough, so they feel OK weeping with us
but we have some specifics we are trying to hide from
like
the 18th of July 2013
like
a fetus on a leash*
maybe there is a common enough thread
as we drift
after all
drowning in the same waters
all together
all together now
grasping each other in panic as we sink
can i look you in the eye?
together now
all together now
can i look the boy in the eye?
fetus on a leash
to be let go on 18th of july 2013
so long
farewell
tidy boys
take care
all the best
it is up to you now
fetus on a leash
here are the numbers to call
the people to reach out to
because we are
letting you go
all together now
letting go
of the fetus on a leash
-For Mitch
"I have a Fetus on a leash" is a line from the song 'Jubilee Street' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
