Naegleria Fowleri

from In the Retention Pond by Stuffy Doll

lyrics

There’s an aching echo singing down by where the feral children play
Her voice is like a hurricane commanding all the old oak trees to sway
With a melody that makes swamp monsters genuflect and obey
And it’s stuck in my head but she swore to me the feeling goes away

I’ve been faithful, I’ve been honest, yes I promise, I have tried to be kind
This painful poetry I practice, it impatiently implodes inside my mind
I’ve got photographic evidence of privileges I worked so hard to earn
I guess there’s just a mess of lessons that take several sessions to learn

I breathe the name of my lover
As soon as my head goes under...

Dig my feet into the mud, this is gonna be good
Seizin while she’s leavin me with reasons that I never understood
Havin hate hallucinations, havoc raisin fascination with the flood
She’s a migraine with pain that migrates from my brain into my blood

I caught her in mid-slaughter but it only got me hotter for the fall
All those awful Autumn offers are just another way for her to stall
No longer father’s darling daughter, wonder where this gutless goddess got the gall
My lungs are filled with water, I’m pretending I’m not bothered when she calls

There are artifacts and relics that I relish far too much when I’m alone
Their histories embellished by a jealous sense of justice in my bones
I’ve got a frantic fetish for her festival aesthetic and flow
Stressin through the anesthetic, I do my best to let it fester and grow

I’m sure her intentions are pure
But chaos doesn’t come with a cure...

This body’s gonna break down, gonna make way for the next one (for the next one)
This body’s gonna break down, gonna make way for the next one (for the next one)
This body’s gonna break down, gonna make way for the next one (for the next one)
This body’s gonna break down, gonna make way

Whatever she said, it went to my head and now it's gone septic
Imbeded in affection, I'm beggin for a shred of something authentic
Infected, in bed, susceptible look on my face, it's pathetic
It's destined to spread, guess I'll go ahead and embrace the epidemic

Stuffy Doll

Stuffy Doll is weird music for creatures that like stories, wordplay, glitter, and grit. Lots of genres, high-concept concept albums, an unreasonable amount of attention to detail
