Penance strapped to my ribs
scratches away the negative
clipped like mercury's
wings strapped to my feet
This slow pure starvation
threatens everything i've done
This is not a phase
nothing grows through things like this
waiting for it to pass
polishing brazen mistakes
This slow pure starvation
threatens everything i've become
Wait a while
i might be late
i'll wipe that smile
right off your disgrace
The only way to serve is: defy
you were here first, so first you will die
commit one small high speed crime
the world will breathe a parental sigh
This slow pure starvation
threatens everything we've done
Spend long days
with treason
one inch spent
six feet of man went away
