Jenny Hval - Take Care of Yourself lyrics

What is it to take care
Of yourself? Getting paid?
Getting laid? Getting married? Getting
Pregnant? Fighting for
Visibility in your market? Realizing
Your potential? Being healthy
Being clean, not making a fool of yourself
Not hurting yourself? Shaving in
All the right places

What am I taking care of? I'm lying
In our bed unable to sleep, reaching a
State of absolute dependence in
A restless half-dream
Like the jam without a spoon
And I grab my cunt with my hand
That isn't clean am I loving
Myself now? Am I mothering myself? Am
I taking care of myself now?

I imagine you're doing the same
Holding onto your soft dick it
Lies in the hand
Where it dares stay soft could I be that
For you? That cupping hand on your
Soft dick? Could I give you
That, that which sometimes expects nothing?
Accepting restlessness, accepting
No direction, accepting this fearful wanting
That isn't desire?

That going nowhere? A warm place can we
Go there? We don't have to fuck
Can we just lie here being? I give you
This hand i give you this hand
