Healing ritual Songtext
von WHATEVER, DAD

Healing process
Begins with a shower

Bike to the museum
So I can sit somewhere
Actually quiet
The woods are too close to the
Roads
And this place is too tender
For now anyway

How peculiar
For I′m almost certain
That our conversation
Results came out
'N′ positive

Yet my body's reaction
Feels the opposite

Say this
Has something gone amiss?

Reach out a hand


To touch the nettles as an entire

Until it turns out

The leaves are rather weak
It seems as if it's easier to
Seek feeling
Than immediate hurt

Look for the house by the church

I try to move forward
But start to revert

Into myself

The sound and the room overwhelms

And it swells
How it hurts

I house my own noise
In the style of a shell
Is it worse?

To share the same space
In this way of sudden reverse?


And yet
And yet
And yet

The face becomes ugly and wet

It takes me a while
To know what to get

Especially when this menu
Has excellent images
Images
Images

Images
Images
Images

To distract me from

I say she ain′t what I came here for

You walk me to my steps
Instead of the door

Maybe it′s not beneficial
To draw parallels
But repeating the ritual helps to a certain extent
