What People Do in the Privacy of Public

from What People Do in the Privacy of Public by Sylvia Haynes

lyrics

I can see it
I can taste it
I can feel it
I remember the road
I remember
I forget my own name
The portrait they made
My punishment for having a face
My punishment recreated on a stage

This is what people do in the privacy of public
How much of your own shame can you stomach?
How much of your trauma makes you lovesick?
Where in your body is the bottomless pit?

Unreal: a movie
Film Fear Fuck
Fill my mouth with salt
Out
Slice the script from my tongue
The camera is a cracked glass on the floor
My blood on the door, racing to the bathroom
Not enough room, I’m shaking like an accident
Like a child you didn’t want
Like a child that gave you cancer
Cancer
I am cancer
I am the tar in your routine
The tar in your teeth
The one thing
That makes you weak

This is what people do in the privacy of public
How much of your own shame can you stomach?
How much of your trauma makes you lovesick?
Where in your body is the bottomless pit?

This is what people do in the privacy of public
