Red Desert - Puce Mary

I find myself feeling like decades have passed

I’m an old woman now and I have lost my attraction

I’m tortured by a feeling of drowning

Under you, under society, politics

The decay of nature

My lack of interest

And I feel desperate

Some experience under our skin forever

Like the trauma of child abuse

I feel my eyes tearing up

What should I do with them?

Should I watch?

I can’t look at the sea for long

I’ll lose interest in what’s happening on land

I want to look at something real

To hear a human voice

And trust that it comes from a human voice

To trust that it comes from a human

Who was made like me

To touch a pair of lips

And at the same time know that it was a pair of lips

To watch everything is so deceptive

To hear a human voice

And trust that it comes from a human

Who was made like me

To touch a pair of lips

And at the same time know

That it was a pair of lips

To watch everything is so deceptive
