Lashes pulled all out barnacles smother skin

Pry my swollen eyes another day begin

Stay awake or go insane a favorite youthful spree

Find escape or live in pain, there's something here for me



Most arcane and obsolete are palette captured thoughts

Dress myself in lace to feel a time that Earth forgot

Lifting up my skull to build the strength I need ahead

The strength that once brought all to me has all but left me dead



Rapture in the rupturing

Of all that I don't need

And force the heat into my neck

As proof that you agreed

So drink of this



Everyone believes, everyone will see

Peel my arms away, another day to be

Sitting in polarity, poised against another me

Slip myself beneath my feet, I've lost and broken free



Vultures circle high

Just pretend you're not untied

Hide your flexibility

One more simian tendency

And a shot rings it's all of you

Suddenly you're good as new

This in eyes of gross misled

Cough up lies that I've been fed
