lyrics

MALE GAZE

BROOK
Why are you trying to capture my body?
Why do you need to steal my face?
I am not here to feed your fantasies
Your hunger for something to make you feel real
I am not a picture to mount on your wall
I am not an image to mount in your mind
The whole world is your playground
But we’re not just toys in a game
What you’re trying to capture escapes you
The moment you look through the lens
I don’t want to be real for you
And I don’t want to be fake
What do you want from me?

PHOTOGRAPHER
For guys like me a glimpse of you
Is a lifeline in a labyrinth
To take a slice of your light
Is a taste from the table
Where truth and beauty break bread

[Meanwhile, Bud wanders alone
in deep playa, swallowed up in a
psychedelic spin cycle. Who knew
the void had a voice, or that it used
a bull-horn?]
