Why This? - Jenny Hval

How thick is a surface?

Why this and not that?

The only question you should ask

Or maybe what is the deepest human longing?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

I’m complex and intellectual

But I will say it is to be loved

Why this and not that?

The only question you should ask, or maybe

Longing to make everybody cry

I want us all to cry together

And what is that sound that is haunting my throat?
