    Here’s one of my favorite Swans song.

    https://youtu.be/6M_K5565jSw

    [Verse 1]

    I am the hanging man

    I hang, I never land

    I steal the space between

    The filthy and the clean

    Healer, come here soon

    Come to fill my spoon

    Healer, heal my wound

    I am a dog: I eat the moon

    Healer, heal my lust

    Fill my mouth with rust

    Healer, hold my hand

    Fill my mouth with sand

    [Chorus]

    Healer, kill this lamb!

    I am the hanging man

    I am the hanging man

    I am, I am, I am, I am

    I am, I am, I am, I am

    I am, I am, I am, I am, vr… vr… vr… vr… not!

    I am NOT! I am NOT!

    I am NOT! I am NOT!

    I am NOT!

    [Verse 2]

    Here I lie, abject

    Healer, teeth are red

    Force my legs apart:

    Healer, hold my heart

    Healer, cut my spine

    Healer, eat my mind

    Write it on the sky:

    These stars reveal the lie

    Hold the glowing sphere

    There is no there or here

    [Chorus]

    Healer, hold my hand!

    I am the hanging man

    I am the hanging man

    I am, I am, I am, I am

    I am, I am, I am, I am

    I am, I am, I am, I am

    Vr… vrr… vrr… vrr… vrr, I am not

    I am not what I just thought

    I am not what I just thought

    I am not, I am NOT!

    I am NOT!

    We are NOT! We are NOT!

    NOT! NOT! NOT!

    [Outro]

    Who is the watcher who’s watching this thought

    Whose thought is a thought that is not what he thought

    NOT! SHOT! KNOT!

      Interesting, Yeah the more I think about it maybe I was just up in my own head. Former pixie and her sister known as the Breeders, I loved their debut album and there’s no denying that Cannonball is all over the place.

      Ironically Veruca Salt’s Seether seems that way but it actually has meaning ironically.
