Heavy Metals LyricsA crack in the back bleeds black
Heavy metals in my cells
weigh me down
In order to change shape
I need to let go
Detoxify my blood
of her tart red anger
that runs ribbons, snakes, bows
through every organ, vein, bone
before nesting dormant in my heart.
It sits densely. Privately. Uncontrollable black bomb.
Waits to explode out
And spray frayed body parts
Across skies and stars
Until shards of my heart
Puncture the planets.
Shame makes it
Cower and condense
Further inward
"Stay small, hard and static"
But the lеss I move,
the less I'm ablе to change.
I remain locked in form,
like a soldier in march
So obedient to the past.
I'm scared of you, anger
and your bulletproof cast.
What does it take to
make you break?
Words?
Words.
A white flag at last.
