Company - Lower Dens

I wish I could feel anything at all

But I’m just a pile of want and doubt

We’re having people over later on

Bring Caroline and the effigies

There are days when I imagine myself

Falling through space for the rest of time

Come right in and sit beside the fire

We’ll have someone bring you a tray of pigs in blankets

You look

Really uncomfortable if I’m being honest

Pale.

Did you hit something on your way over?

Is there something we should know about?

Can’t say you look quite like yourself, friend

We just want to help

Oh look it’s Pendergast and his associates

They’ll know just what to do

In fact I think they’ve seen this kind of thing before

Don’t worry, relax, you’ll be fine

Just lie back and stop squirming

Please listen to us

We have your best interests in mind

We’ve had our eyes on you for a long, long time

We want to explore infinite possibilities of knowing you

This gives you some time to find a way to relate to us, and us to you

You’ll see for yourself

We’ll be welcoming you to the inner lair

Won’t be long

Babe, hush now this won’t hurt at all
