Zach Hill - Bottomless Pit lyrics

Karen Black: [0:24] (inaudible) I am god Yes hello I will practice you [0:37] Say hello (waves) but they're never gonna know it how much (inaudible) I am god yes hello hello hello Hello… Helllloooo oh [0:52] (laughs) They'll never understand… (male laughing behind camera) ...that you are god so they'll never understand the actual danger… you present [0:59] I'm actually a cheerful person (phone beeps) And there are people... who, when they see a cheerful person… they don't see it It couldn't be cheerful You must be wicked - to be happy, you must be nasty and evil (male voice- mhm) You couldn't just be happy Because they're not happy, ever happy to know They're… uh… angry Or maybe they're in fear [1:27] There was the same storyline in fairytales for probably centuries And if you look over the (stutters) fairytales from all around the world Every land They're the SAME -Excuse me for carrying on like this, but There's the sweet man, the lovely gentle girl or brother or son Girl or son And then they have the stinky brothers and the nasty people And the stinky brothers and the nasty people are just simply selfish There's nothing very much more complex than that And the good people aren't - they're not So stinky people out into the world To uh, t-to get their fortune or to get the princess or to… uh… Or they just are stumbling in the woods and they get lost, whatever And they run into, always, a special person They run into a… uh… magical person Who always looks like crap You know he looks like uh - his nose, and the little warts, and they look like witches And they're crippled, and they're awful, and they're disgusting, ehhh And they need something What do they need? They just need some food! Some liquid, some water, some milk Something And then stinky brothers and stinky sisters will not give it to them And they carry on And they never succeed And the, and the, nebbish one The sweet one whose good hearted, that's all we know He's tender hearted But everybody makes fun of him And everybody doesn't treat him very well He doesn't scare anybody This reminds me of me [3:04] Must have, can't have This is human, nothing to do with… the order of the universe Humans must have what they can't have They must, they must You know, one of the ways to get a girl is; loving her nice, loving her nice And then you, then you vanish Now they must have you [3:23] Anyhow This man is suicidal, and he's an actor, and he's terribly famous And people mistreat him and everything, and he's miserable miserable And there's this huge, brightly lit, almost blue/white stage… lit And it looks like - and i think might be - a boxing arena Ahd everyone around is really in a boxing area And he's walking - he's gonna have - The TVs are there, up on that blatant white blue stage over there And and he's walking through the path toward that stage and on either side of him is his audience Well you know how Fellini like to make people look it's like a bad dream you're having (male voice - mm) Nightmarish, but beautiful [4:13] I will f** your mind and steal the babies I love it [4:21] As he walks, he's looking at these audience members, looking at the Look up, look up, and they look up And here's a white face Terribly screaming red lipstick And here's another clown face And i'm telling you, i went up I went up, I got high, I left my body And looking at this thing, just [4:48] (mouth open, yawning/screaming expression) [4:51] Um… (sighs) You know, when you… have someone with you in a room And they carry with them in this moment All the things that you experienced together in the past They have a certain kind of lipstick on And the light hits their hair… and eyes in a certain way They're very real They're really there And as a listener, as someone looking at them In fact you haven't - you aren't anything - you're nothing There are a couple times in my life - three times - where i forgot I was I completely forgot I was I was a child while I was 12 well i was in acting cla**, and they had a little banquet for some people, it was during the day though And my acting teacher and a woman, were talking to each other and I was listening And they turned to look at me (whispers) what are they looking at? What are they looking at? I didn't know what they're looking at Oh! They remembered i'm here [6:18] Dear bottomless pit I wake up in a deep search for intent and belief in myself But, the day is intense And d**h… driven with some euphoria I'm think now, if I ever want your opinion i'll give it to you... (looks at camera) ...Over and over Like… (looks at phone)… egyptians f**ing the crocodiles (laughs) That's my mind now too Like egyptians f**ing the crocodiles and that's… my mind now too [7:30] (CUT TO, computer generated, spinning wine gla**, with a cloud inside; as featured in the Government Plates vinyl insert) Karen black narration: There's a string shooting off from the back of my mind It's behind me and… Living I can't see it I've just heeeard about (it) No one knows how long it is or how far it goes... (a weed trimmer, or possibly a loud drone can be heard clearly, then ends abruptly) Including me! It tows a star shielding my back (Sighs, begins to breath heavily) As we… (inhale) accelerate indefinitely! (inhale exhale inhale exhale) We were so fast! The star might actually be pulling me forward! Guiding me from the front, I pretend like I... (laughs) (male laugh) I don't know the difference, but I do! (inhale exhale) Eternally, ah, is very, eternally (drifting off) (struggles to say eternity) Eternity… is very ok [9:05] Dear bottomless pit, I need you here to undo me (long pause) I wake up in a deep search for… intent… belief in myself (long pause) But, the day is intense Driven with some euphoria (sighs) I'm thinking now, I've never.. been.. bored! Until this moment Aaaaaaaand this moment is gone! Forever Over and over (laughs) that's my mind now too! Like egyptians f**ing the crocodiles, and that's my mind now too [10:22] Got a strong sense of sense And in this case, not liking it says more about you than liking it- I say this! Before you k** me, make sure it's dead i look at it all for a second I'm finally… slow enough I go to sleep... (cat meows) with worry and fantasy (sigh) Watching By the way, I don't whisper [11:27] (crying) It's… the saddest thing… that I have to… numb the truth When my dreams come true (silently crying) It's f**ing lame actually One thought at a time I see People love to confess and design the confession Designer… non-confessions Six walls of s**, now that there is nothing else to it, we can move on Yep Specialized, I am specialized (laughs) I've been smoking myself again too (sighs) Love you f** you Now (Pleasure/pain grown) Crawl into hell [13:19] (CUT TO, Karen Black) Karen Black: Nothing, nothing that serious is there? (asks the camera) Hmm
