• To Be Objectified

I've left a trail of myself every place that I've been through
And going bald is the most manly thing I'm ever gonna do
I'll tell the earth,
\"Thanks for the hair, thanks for the skin, thanks for the bone,
Though I now slowly give it back I still appreciate the loan.\"

Just tell me that you like me in the same sentence as a mountainside
It would be such a relief to be objectified

Plus, who says it's so important to sort through these thoughts of ours?
Maybe that's why we love to try to see ourselves from the outside

In photographs and videos and diaries and mirrors
'Cos it would be such a relief to be objectified

And the closest that I ever got still seems to leave a lot to give
But the horizon seems to be a place that nobody can know
Looking forth and looking back
Our vision can't extend
Beyond the quaint vanishing points our bodies recommend
And I'll help you move some furniture somewhere it's never been before
But the room's so small the dresser drawer won't let us get back out the door

Just tell me that you like me in the same sentence as a building
It would be such a relief to see
I'm just a natural thing

We're only boats
And the boats are only empty
And you can't blame an empty boat that's on the river to the sea
You can't blame a billion boats without a sail, without a sailor
And that's how we look in photographs and diaries and mirrors

And the plants turn into ants
And the ants turn into plants
And children are clumsy people
And old people are rotting children
And I still don't have a cell phone
But this sea shell gets reception
And the ocean won't stop calling
And I want a restraining order

Just tell me that you like me in the same sentence as a building
It would be such a relief to see
I'm just a natural thing
We're just a natural thing
Just like anything
