Allergic to Water-Ani Difranco

You can't even imagine The tortuous state I've been existing in I am allergic to water It itches my throat and it blisters my skin Still, I drink cuz I have to, I bathe cuz I have to But boy it's a pain But I don't cry Cuz it hurts to cry And I don't go outside in the rain And you may wonder what would possess Someone like me to go on You may wonder how it's possible Something so basic could go wrong And all I can say is If you stretch your mind all the way as far as it goes There's someone out there who lives further than that In a place you can never know So right now if you're looking at me You can assume that I am thirsty And a good day is one when that ache in my brain Can remain at a doable three And I don't really want your sympathy I'm just telling you so you'll understand This is me, sincerely Doin' the best that I can
