You See Through Me Lyrics by Michael Gira

Drainland

1995

[Instrumental]
[Refrain]
You see through me
You see through me
You see through me
You see through me
[Spoken: Michael Gira & Jarboe]
I prayed to God last night and God told me "tell Jarboe that she needs to support me from now on."
Explain to me—
No, that's how it is. You're gonna support me from now on
And what does money and support have to do with drug abuse?
No, you have to go out and earn a living from now on
But listen, I'm supporting—
[?]
Okay
[?]
Okay, what does that have to do with your drinking too much?
Nothing
Then why are you bringing it up? Because my problem is that you drink too much
[?] from now on [?] on your shoulders
Alright, okay. What does this have to do with the fact that I worry about you having an alcohol problem?
The fact— what it has to do with it, is that, now you have to worry about— Michael has an alcoholic problem, but I have to support him, and I have to figure out how to get some fucking money to support him and me, and [?]
Okay, but—
That's what you have to do, so figure it out
Okay, but, but, excuse me—
Now it's your problem
Okay, so—
I don't wanna hear it. Shut up
So I'm wrong, to be worried—
No, no, just shut up. Figure it out yourself, it's not my problem
So that fact that I worry about your drinking too much is not a good thing, huh? I shouldn't care about you?
[?] - fuck you it's your problem, get the money, figure out how we're gonna live
Why did you drink too much, Michael?
No, no, the problem is— shut your mouth, get the money, we have to live. It's your problem, not mine
Okay, I came home tonight, and I expressed very— fear, because—
Fuck off, get the money, we have to buy—
Michael, why do you drink too much?
No, we have to get food tomorrow. Figure out how to get it
But what does that have to do with you drink too much Michael?
[?] —have to get the money. Figure it out. Figure it out. You have to get the money. We're both broke. No one cares about you. Figure out how to get the money
Let's say I make a hundred thousand dollars a year. Are you still going to go drinking at the bar every night?
Let's say this, you don't make anything — which you don't. You make no money—
I sure do pay income taxes
Let's say this: you make no money, whatsoever. Tomorrow, we have to... You get the money, so we can eat
Okay, can you pay my mother the forty-six dollars that you spent on her telephone? And by the way, when you were down there, I took really good care of you. I worked really hard taking good care of you
How much is that worth?
I don't think you can put a price on it
Okay, two hundred dollars, alright?
Do you love me at all Michael?
No
You see through me
