lyrics

Someone leaves stuffed animals in my rooms. Their numbers and their size increase steadily day by day. I've tried disposing of some, destroying of others. But they always seem to come back. Every morning, there they are, staring at me with their beady eyes.

At first, it was only in the rooms on the ground floor. But progressively, I began to find them in the rooms on the first, and then the second. I'd lock some in the lower rooms before I'd go to bed, only to find them in the corridor in front of my bedroom when I awoke. Every night, they seem to get closer and closer.

They also seem to change, to evolve. They are gradually becoming skin-mounted versions of their earlier, softer selves. Their grins have widened, revealing teeth that didn't seem to be there before. They smile at me as I walk past. Their eyes bulge. I feel their gaze upon my back.

At night, when I sleep, I dream of things buried that do not want to be, of things unearthed that should not be. I feel frames pushed and fitted into my flesh. I feel them shape me, making me take postures that are more unnatural than they are uncomfortable. I cannot seem to move my limbs. I cannot bring myself to turn my head. I can only stare straight ahead with beady eyes.

Thin Consolation Brussel, Belgium

Some people drink, some collect stamps,
some prefer gardening or cross-dressing. This is our thing. This is our two-word gesture
to life as a statistic. In case of anxiety, just infuse longer.
