Starvation
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
