Lady Lamb - Vena Cava lyrics

The vena cava The most superior The queen Bringing blood into the chamber Always into the chamber And in you it moves the same Even if you can not feel how it moves, it does move there in you I'm Awake but I cannot be found Daydreaming so far down In your arms I sleep so deeply but I can feel how you will leave me Even as you are still sitting here Even as your mug of coffee steams I can feel how the seams of your ribs Will separate from the seams of my ribs I know already how much TV will fail to comfort me in your absence It's as though the nothing never was As everything will do just what it does Like a bullet in the barrel of a gun I'm hiding here inside for someone, someone in your eyes streaks of canary yellow In that twin bed I lay straight and narrow In your room on Long Island I tried to keep myself from sighing While the lilt of your language it made me think that I was sinking with the wreckage of that old ship even though our love has long been dead its ghosts will follow to the foot of my d**hbed I ain't no brother I ain't no son There ain't no Aubergine in my blood I ain't no warrior or king But how I am one when I sing When I sing sing sing While the vena cava the most superior the queen is bringing blood into the chamber always into your chamber
