Lies

Yesterday I spent an hour

A full hour in therapy

My favourite Doctor Landau

My God I hate his breath



He asked me questions

That kind of fool deserves a lie

I gave him answers

The kind of answers doctors like

Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies



I told him all my nightmares

Were dead and gone

"These days I sleep like a baby

and there never ever was a "Them"



He asked me questions

That kind of fool deserves a lie

I gave him answers

The kind of answers doctors like



The doctor looked at my eyes

[Landau]:

"No trace of insanity

Maybe the time is right now

To have a visit from the family

I'm thinking of your mother

What does my little patient say?"



I should have taken his stethoscope

And then forced it down his throat

My mother was at stake

So I behaved



That night I cleaned the entire house

For everything but the memories

No dust, no tea, ah stupid me

I even took the axe away

The sun is up and it's time for bed

I'm so tired

I can't wait no more
