Written after a tooth extraction, Liver observes the pressure put on the body under the stress of creative desires; inspiration is anthropomorphized as a lover, seen at a distance in the company of other friends and lovers and pined over. It is a personal opportunity to explore the relation between creative desires and personal intimacy through self-destructive responses.
lyrics
Twelve days drunk,
and all I'm [writing/riding] is tylenol PM to sleep
If I can hold this all together
Would you come back and hold me?
And I've heard you upstairs with my roommate
And it's hard to say I'm proud and not in pain
I just want the feelin of bein normal,
the feelin of feelin fine
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely on someone else to provide the inspiration?
Twelve days sober
I've got shrapnel in my mouth
That says I'm never coming out to see or play a show in town
And I've seen youj
in my girlfriend's documentary
And it's hard to think I could do somethin so sweet
I just want the feelin of bein important enough to speak my mind
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely on someone else to provide the inspiration?
I'd like to thank my liver
She's been there for me since 1991
She could tell you stories about
All the fun I've ever had and
Every illness I've been far too gone to witness
I owe her at least this
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely...
(on fakin it, fakin it)
How long can I rely on somethin else besides what's
Inside of me?
