Heartworms I: Aorta
In tumorigenesis: incubating, circulating
Pathogens in watchful waiting lurk
Smiles that sing like angel's harp strings
Break like sparrow wings
Marked for death with ormer bruising
Ornamental holes
Time crawls slow, bleeds like limping prey
Thin white limbs quiver, spotted with purpura
On seas of anemia
Endless waves of anaesthesia beat on folded kamikaze wings
Sentimental optimism drains from metacarpals
Bleached with disease
Ormer bruising
Ornamental holes
Void hangs near, chews through wounded legs
Youth rots through, beauty spotted with purpura
Remorseless invisible enemy
Defective animality hunting me
In our time of absolute misery
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
Remorseless invisible enemy
Dividing, calcified inside of me
When you hear my voice in a memory
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
Hope is a hole
Where buried inside are the stones we've thrown
Brings faith to it's knees
The child must die that the wolf may feed
Contagion blooms on the marrow of the soul
Knuckles whitened in fear, in the end, must let go
Remorseless invisible enemy
Dividing, calcified inside of me
When you hear my voice in a memory
Who kicked out the chair and did they stay to watch?
Remorseless invisible enemy
Defective animality hunting me
In our time of absolute misery
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
If premature mourning undermines tomorrow's warming
Never let your leaden eyelids close
Undiscriminating hematoma pulls the weight of sleep in tow
Nauseating sympathy erupts from pores that once were known to pull
The weight of shadows yet to cast
Reside in sleepless slumber in us all
Radiation sickness leaves fingerprints
The size of needle holes on the soul
Pathogens in watchful waiting lurk
Smiles that sing like angel's harp strings
Break like sparrow wings
Marked for death with ormer bruising
Ornamental holes
Time crawls slow, bleeds like limping prey
Thin white limbs quiver, spotted with purpura
On seas of anemia
Endless waves of anaesthesia beat on folded kamikaze wings
Sentimental optimism drains from metacarpals
Bleached with disease
Ormer bruising
Ornamental holes
Void hangs near, chews through wounded legs
Youth rots through, beauty spotted with purpura
Remorseless invisible enemy
Defective animality hunting me
In our time of absolute misery
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
Remorseless invisible enemy
Dividing, calcified inside of me
When you hear my voice in a memory
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
Hope is a hole
Where buried inside are the stones we've thrown
Brings faith to it's knees
The child must die that the wolf may feed
Contagion blooms on the marrow of the soul
Knuckles whitened in fear, in the end, must let go
Remorseless invisible enemy
Dividing, calcified inside of me
When you hear my voice in a memory
Who kicked out the chair and did they stay to watch?
Remorseless invisible enemy
Defective animality hunting me
In our time of absolute misery
Who kicks out the chair, and do they stay to watch?
If premature mourning undermines tomorrow's warming
Never let your leaden eyelids close
Undiscriminating hematoma pulls the weight of sleep in tow
Nauseating sympathy erupts from pores that once were known to pull
The weight of shadows yet to cast
Reside in sleepless slumber in us all
Radiation sickness leaves fingerprints
The size of needle holes on the soul
