| I wish I could feel anything at all
|
| But I’m just a pile of want and doubt
|
| We’re having people over later on
|
| Bring Caroline and the effigies
|
| There are days when I imagine myself
|
| Falling through space for the rest of time
|
| Come right in and sit beside the fire
|
| We’ll have someone bring you a tray of pigs in blankets
|
| You look
|
| Really uncomfortable if I’m being honest
|
| Pale. |
| Did you hit something on your way over?
|
| Is there something we should know about?
|
| Can’t say you look quite like yourself, friend
|
| We just want to help
|
| Oh look it’s Pendergast and his associates
|
| They’ll know just what to do
|
| In fact I think they’ve seen this kind of thing before
|
| Don’t worry, relax, you’ll be fine
|
| Just lie back and stop squirming
|
| Please listen to us
|
| We have your best interests in mind
|
| We’ve had our eyes on you for a long, long time
|
| We want to explore infinite possibilities of knowing you
|
| This gives you some time to find a way to relate to us, and us to you
|
| You’ll see for yourself
|
| We’ll be welcoming you to the inner lair
|
| Won’t be long
|
| Babe, hush now this won’t hurt at all |
