Illness as a Metaphor |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oh, Andrew Jackson |
| Oooo |
| I think you might be the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen |
| My name is Rachel |
| A wise woman once wrote |
| That illness is not metaphor |
| So why do I feel sick when I look at you? |
| There is this illness in the end I need |
| To get it out |
| So when I bleed |
| It’s not blood |
| It’s a metaphor for love |
| These aren’t veins |
| Just the beating of my heart |
| This fever isn’t real |
| It represents how I feel |
| My pain transformed into art |
| If you feel like you might throw up |
| Well that’s a metaphor for how I feel |
| When I dream of you |
| Bathed in your metaphorical blood |
| And when the doctor says you’re gonna make it |
| I tell him why I’m able to take |
| It’s not blood |
| It’s a metaphor for love |
| These aren’t veins |
| Just the beating of my heart |
| This fever isn’t real |
| It represents how I feel |
| My pain transformed into art |
| My pain transformed into art |
| But Susan Sontag’s dead |
| So I guess her cancer wasn’t metaphorical after all |
| Sorry |
