about

An exercise in vulnerability.

lyrics

Imagine you're sitting on a microscope.
Light above and light below.
Light where you never wanted light to go.
Light- tell me darling, does it set your heart aglow?
Tell me darling, is it hot or is it cold in here?

Now imagine you're a cancer cell.
And imagine I am one as well.
And we're killing some poor person with our strength and our perversion and a scientist is staring through our bodies and she's plotting our demise.
Tell me darling, can you look me in the eyes?

Now imagine you're the scientist.
And I before you- silent, small, and viscous.
Suspended in a moment on a slide inside your lab.
Imagine you can see my secrets.
And you'll use them all against me.
And I'll lie beside you naked and you'll lie there looking through me.
And I'll kiss you
in the hallway,
assuming that you know me
the next day.

But I'm not under a microscope, and you don't really care.
I'm glad there never was a microscope, and you're still there.
