Ring 03:03
Crutches for smooth bones lure splint commitment burning, make this phantom limb contort and twist Crutches for smooth bones these weapons. The nurse knocked into your pit. You broke my feet to match your face. It's just another kiss on conviction as it crumbles to waste. You waited at the base of the fire escape. I can't feel the wet moving. You are the nerve to my limbs. Sling me through your waves. You are the nerve to my limbs, a pointed smile to the back of my head. I'm seeing red, still swimming through the arson I'd miss if the bait's cut loose. Light my life on fire and I'll wait at the base of the fire escape.

Decorated 03:20
Bottleneck crew repletion cries, command, control. Bait and switch redemption stripes camouflage a jester's grin, and you're swallowing eyes. One armed, you're swallowing eyes. But I see you're decorated. Crippled men with bayonets destroy what they defend. We press our voices up beyond the box, kneel down and clear our homes for gods. I used to warm at you in pride, but the small child's idol topples. Until our ego it divides, you're not a hero until you die. We press our voices up beyond the box. Kneel down and clear our homes for gods. Command, control. You're swallowing eyes. I'd say you're white-washed and I'd say you're clothed in fear. Your mind's been infiltrated, but I see you're decorated. And I'd say your weapon's been clogged, won't fire with the safety off. Your mind's been infiltrated, but I see you're decorated. Command, control. Celebrate.

Transplant juxtaposed over this opposition, rehearsed to reinforce. Tunnel voice resounds, disembodying the turn while branded x's tumble down. This rapping on the door. We're looking for a role in another's home. How we laugh at the parasitic joke. This order's been misembodied. This rapping on the door. We're looking for a role in another's home. Rites can't be recreated in a purging of the host, bodies disowned. How the needles would turn. How the scalpels would turn, But we laugh.

Atlased by worth in this contention for place. Cants covered, redesigned. Jaundiced paper meets a quill to spill a system the system desired. Bound feet in these trap streets. Thieving to locate, to mark. Apex sifts through the bottom for stilts. Apex sifts. Eyes up, push down to stand above. Physics manifest the one with the pen. Physics manifest, stain the canvas. The one with the pen hides and denies, groundless. The one with the pen is the arbiter. As old ink spills Tell them they're in the dirt because of your self worth.
5.
Breaks and fractures feed syncope dreams where a covert man with hatchet rage whittles away. He looks me dead in the eye, but still lets me hide. And I awake to seven cold mistakes. Well, this can't be right. The tide swings red. All sinews torn, dissections have made their beds. Cut parts appearing, heads I know backstroke up and down the creek. Swinging, swinging I miss the ringing the pressure in my ears. It's all flooding back. Swinging, swinging I miss the ringing the pressure in my ears.
