Anne Haigis - Shrink lyrics

Now post-natal depressions starts the day that you were born

The product of an accidental meeting on a train

A slap to start you crying, the milk to make you stop

You suck until you're satisfied and choke on erery drop

You don't want to tremble

You don't want to shake

But you must

Cause water tasted like ashes

And apples tastes like dust

And some days you wake and the phone won't ring

The postman's died, the birds don't sing

The mercury's falling so fast, the flowers all freeze

It's a shock that you have to go back to school

To learn how to walk and crawl

And even to breathe

They drag you from a woman, as bright as a new pin

To spend a troubled lifetime, tryin' hard to crawl back in

And every day your mirror shows the blemish of your soul

But no one seems to notice that there's no one in control

And you don't want to tremble

You don't want to shake

But you must

Your knees turn to water

Your bones begin to rust

And some days you wake and the phone won't ring

The postman's died, the birds don't sing

The mercury's falling so fast, the flowers all freeze

It's a shock that you have to go back to school

To learn how to walk and crawl

And even to breathe
