Flesh and Electricity - Camp Cope

Each day i ride my bike to the hospital

Walk around check vital signs

And pretend to be useful

Sometimes though I really don’t know

What I’m doing here

My father says it’s atonement for my reckless years

That the antagonist in that book

For that class that I once took

I’ve been desensitized to the human body

That I could look at you naked

And all I’d see would be anatomy

You’re just bones and insecurity

Flesh and electricity to me

Each night I try to find that feeling in my bed

The two dimensional happiness

When you live your life in a camera lens

People stick together and they pull themselves apart

Dehydration, seperation, like the chambers of my heart

Then the weight fell off like clothes

Never knowing where it goes

I’ve been desensitized to the human body

That I could look at you naked

And all I’d see would be anatomy

You’re just bones and insecurity

Flesh and electricity to me

Tear labels off your bottles in a living room

Feeling nothing

Wanting nothing

Because that part of me left with you

Now i plan my day around the 8 and 12 medication rounds

There are no shocks or surprises

No, it’s nothing like that

Coz I’ve been desensitized to the human body

That I could look at you naked

And all I’d see would be anatomy

You’re just bones and insecurity

Flesh and electricity like me
