Positive

(Album: The Tankard - 1995)

Deep in the gut, deep inside of me
There it is, everywhere
Look at me go, watch it grow
Into my place

Couldn't find myself in the mirror today
Who's that fading face? Oh, no!
Waiting for the one that'll blow me away
Rollercoaster rides, oh, no!

Tell me what you see when you look at me
Is it more than my HIV?
Tell me what you see when you look at me
Is it more?

Dying weaves quilts of sympathy
Cover me, cover me!
Feeble and blind, weak and dazed
Lover hold me tight

Couldn't see a thing in the mirror today
Tell me that's your name? Oh yeah!
Waiting for the one that'll blow me away
Full blown all the way, oh no!

Blood and tears shed for years and years
Will it end, will it end?
This is a war, hope, despair
Battle every day

Can you see yourself in the mirror today?
Tell me, what's your name? Oh yeah!
I can see my face and I know this is me
I'm not giving up myself
