That Battle Is Over
(专辑: Apocalypse, Girl - 2015)
What is it to take care of yourself? What are we taking care of? A
million bedrooms with hands softly lulling our divine cocks and cunts, without telling anyone, a
million ships come alone out on the
calmest seas. So are we loving ourselves now? Are we mothering ourselves? Statistics and newspapers tell me I
am unhappy and dying, that I
need man and child to fulfill me, that I'm more likely to get breast cancer. And it's biology, it's my own fault, it's divine punishment of the
unruly. It's fearfull out here on the
calmest seas, we who grew up singing Merry Christmas! War is over. Our mothers softly humming: We're at the
edge of history But I
keep growing older, eight years since 25 now, and all that ages now is the
body, I
wonder why, I
think to myself one of these days everything I
write begins with the
question, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? You say I'm free now, that battle is over, and feminism is over & socialism's over. Yeah, I
say I
can consume what I
want now This is what happens on the
edge of history: the
Great Eye turns to us. We are the
only thing that's aging, but we don't know it yet, we cling onto Heaven, Heaven, Heaven Sleep tight forever Sleep tight forever
