Lead Poisoning

Here dwells a snake
One thousand miles long
Coiled, one thousand miles deep
Eyes like candy, it has eyes like candy
Hard and blue, but soft like ice
Out of sight, or in the light
It could be a devil or it could be an angel
With spiders inside a vision from hell
Its spine is a vertical scream

Bullets won't stop me
Knives won't hurt me
Poison won't cure me
Look!
Look!
Look! at me!

Slow as concrete, blurred like a dream
It spins around, around and around
Down on an axis of atrocity
Fueled by inertia, radius, depth, and velocity
And pain, o pain!
The spiders inside are praying for rain
Killing time, I'm killing time

They pierced my hands
They pierced my feet
Like the voice of the dead
Like an ocean of blood
Like gravity burning in my limbs

Pain!
I know pain: its molecular level
It pulls at my atoms
It sings to me
I'm ruthless
I'm poison
I'm a man with no face
I'm fearless
I'm heartless
A ghost with no soul
Possessed by the devil
To sanctify
To consecrate!
