SPINE 06:25
bed of bones you’re sleeping supine dream receiving metal infrastructure buried undercover alloy fusing, feel it moving sudden impact remain intact burning light broken bond born into a new beyond when the dream’s recycled what you feel is vital sacred structure, sudden rupture recreation new mutation blood flowing to the brain cold memories remain stretch open to receive feel something to believe shiver shooting up the spine broken glass and frozen time as the body’s paralyzed so the mind is sterilized
2.
EYE 03:22
fractured mirror looking into the brain motion picture and molecular change simulation focusing into the light revelation looking you straight in the eye stare into the eye ever gazing but you try to deny ever changing and we’re witnessing why pale reflection whisper a silvery lie resurrection open the lid of your eye stare into the eye reborn in suffering cycle unleashed to a chamber of screams from the Source to the mind’s disciple scratched surfaces begin to bleed in the light of the eye receiving swift shadows of an energy seen from the Source to the mind believing sacrifice to the sinister dream feeler = healer leader = feeder liar = cryer seller = buyer winner = sinner loser = chooser taker = faker seeing is being stare into the eye
3.
3YE 03:23
breeding the danger people are stranger wearing the worry fearing the fury you still stare at nothing time will show you something oh it’s so surprising as you’re realizing buying what we sold you living how we told you you still stare at nothing time will show you something nothing ever took so long just a waking dream nothing ever took so long living in between nothing ever took so long spinning by yourself nothing ever took so long useless stares at nothing time will show you something
4.
MIND 03:18
mind is a mirror shattered into dust signal coming clearer how to deceive what to believe who to trust mind is a muscle suffering abuse thinking is a tussle hypnotize, advertise, reproduce let me put it down, i can stick around didn’t want to lose, show me how to use mind is a creature syphon from the host sinister procedure digital dream every machine must have a ghost mind is a weapon loaded with a word brandished for protection carry a lie living to die upon the dirt gotta put it down just to stick around didn’t want to lose now you gotta choose mind out of control thought taking a toll body bathe in the sweat what a fate to forget your wall will fall complete defeat your mind untied returns to burn just don’t let them catch you slipping out tell me are you feeling better now? just don’t let them catch you slipping out tell me if it’s really over now
5.
HEART 02:52
tightening in the chest wearing what we ingest body collapsing as the system folds into itself beating so slow—feeling you go feeding the circuitry into the artery mangled machinery refuses to resuscitate beating so slow—feeling you go living a life sustained numbing the nervous pain sigh of oblivion the silence will erase your name beating so slow—feeling you go
6.
SKIN 04:52
sacrifice paradise inner pain entertained seeking a solution absolution retribution busy dying busy buying your arrival your survival in the skin all contained by membrane reaching hand feel the gland great hallucination isolation devastation screaming silence faceless violence unforgiving if you’re living in the skin holding down to the ground closing eyes leaving life fever dream memory shatter the reflection no protection from infection first hypnosis then psychosis still comparing what we’re wearing for a skin
7.
BONES 03:10
stone cold fossilized remains hand hold all it can contain edge of arrow wall of marrow undeciphered none the wiser carry the weight, bury the load under the skin into the bones stretch out skeleton reveal body carefully conceal fractured faces wind erases undetected resurrected lifting the veil, see how you grow down from the sky into the bones water to blood heart into rust skin into dirt bone into dust carry the weight, bury the load under the skin into the bone
8.
MOUTH 03:30
tongue hissing chamber behind a layer of teeth grind down the mandible hot spit underneath chewing at the gristle smack lips between sucking down saliva licking everything clean breathing traces wind erases lung replaces liquid dried leering lipper toothless tripper drooling dripper open wide are you feeding the hunger? are you craving the taste? bite down on the anchor fill a hole in your face is it not what you wanted? want a little bit more? looking up to a master eating off of the floor the body’s a landfill dig and open the pit swallowed up like a solder out taking the hit throat open and screaming blood drain in the cheeks gaping at the redeemer bow a head when he speaks information infestation inflammation voiceless cry isolating dominating deprecating seething lies sunk teeth into power jaw severs the vein hear a voice from the jungle whisper into the brain still asking a question can’t figure it out see the blood of the servant dripping out of your mouth as you turn and face the fire suffocated with desire such a shame we have to waste when the mouth has lost the taste still feeding the fever slip under the tongue can’t deceive a believer when the damage is done still sipping the poison instead of spitting it out cold blood of the master seeping out of your mouth
9.
HAND 04:48
finger dirty knuckle hurting touching burning heavy heat rusty razor escalator angled grater tiny teeth flexing fiber silver wire magnifier look and see surface layer turning grayer indicator atrophy sentient animal lost in the carnival drunk under neon light bearing the will to fight tightening in the wrist clutching into a fist take a swing hit or miss no way out reawaken swollen shaken unmistaken memory stitches sewing slipping showing bleeding slowing silently covered managed wounded bandage hidden damage secretly mapping bruises thin excuses still abuses silently sensory stimuli groping to gratify reaching to realize hold and idealize capture and suffocate hide and manipulate pointing us to our fate - no way out pulsing vital vein in vial crooked smile comedy human tumor bred in stupor lethal shooter violently power surges fear emerges follow urges mindlessly interruption self-destruction reconstruction surgery flesh and machinery blend into scenery sand in the hourglass slipping into the past stretch into empty space hand of the human race buries its broken face - one way
10.
LUNG 03:02
oh ventilator the incubator acceleration asphyxiation oh vein collapsing organ contracting intricate structure a sudden rupture now that it’s visible you’re not invincible my lung oh heedless healer the false deceiver the lie you suffer is getting tougher there’s no forgetting the toxin spreading the infiltration a slow mutation now that it’s visible you’re not invincible my lung
