Twisting Flesh

Raised in hate
Held there by fear
I am coddled
By the things that I hold dear
Learned to close my eyes to see
While I am kept warm in pundit tapestries
My eyes aren’t my own
These thoughts are the same
I’ve danced this fucking dance
Until my equilibrium decayed
My thoughts speak my heart, my heart speaks in tongues
My tongues speaks these thoughts, these thoughts that are undone
Walk a path of unbeaten steps
So many laps a highway is left
A road not taken yet a road always seen
Should we leave the past in past
That it be buried in weeds?
My thoughts speak my heart, my heart speaks in tongues
My tongues speaks these thoughts, these thoughts that are undone
My eyes — cauterized
I’m pulling lid from lid
Shadows make their way to shapes
Blurs find their edge
A boundless sky Embraces the black
Before me a horizon of embers — a void at my back
A choice before me, A pill that I force down
Chase the cure with my pride
So much that I must drown
My thoughts speak my heart, my heart speaks in tongues
My tongues speaks these thoughts, these thoughts that are undone
There is no pain, only self serving marionettes
Cut the wires and strip their flesh
Make a new race — reinfuse humanity
And with the cry of a newborn tongue
A twist of flesh and a scream… We will be reborn
