Dragonflies

from Heartrender by Eric Benoit

/

lyrics

Remember that time
When at home
In the summer I saw
Two dragonflies mating

Floating around on top of each other grotesquely
I was terrified
The Cronenberg of life
Pleasure rendered as horror

I see bulbous eyes
Chasing me through my nightmares
An aversion to life - is it normal?

(Fucking is a disease
Procreation is incest)

Later that summer
I was invited down the block
To play with water guns
All I wanted was to fit in

So I let the boys spray water all over my head
And when I fled, nearly crying
They shouted after me
“I thought you liked it!”

And so it is with everything

You don’t contain a universe
You are just flesh
Melting away in the sun

Those dragonflies…

Chasing me in my nightmares
An aversion to life - is it normal?

Fucking is a disease
Procreation is
Incest, insects

And so it is with everything
