Lit Me Up
- This tape recounts a dream which occurred close to the termination of approximately 400 hours of intensive, individual therapy. Now, the patient recounts her dream:
- I had this dream earlier this morning and I wrote it down. The dream is that I'm in some sort of a... and I'm in a hotel I'm at... I'm like at a convention or something. And I feel sort of almost like there's too much going on. There are all different kinds of meetings going on. Stuff on experimental psych and therapy, chemical aspects. All of it
- But, I'm... while I don't mind having all this going on inside of me. It's sort of... I think I'm going to be relieved when it's over. When I can sort of settle back down
- It's where you live, but you don't know how it's built
- If we're just dust, then it doesn't matter who you kill
- Don't cut me up and tell me that it's ok
- Just turn it off 'cause I don't care anyway
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- Something's stirring in a deep Atlantic trench
- Doesn't forget the thousand years before it slept
- It's the beast, it's my heart, it's open
- Dive down into its unit in its head
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up like a torch on a pitch black night
- Like an ember in the needles of a dried out pine
- Lit me up and I burn from the inside out
- Yeah, I burn like a witch in a Puritan town
- It lit me
- It lit me
- When I grow up I want to be a heretic
- I want to climb over the wall 'cause I'm not on the list
- I want to put my hands to work till the work's done
- I want to open up my heart like the ocean
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up
- It lit me up like a rag soaked in gasoline
- In the neck of the bottle breaking right at my feet
- It lit me up and I burned from the inside out
- Yeah, I burned like a witch in a Puritan town
- It lit me
- It was a good dream
- If so...you will be dead tonight
