Testo Buzzard Kill (river)

this time last night
my bandages came off

oh yes the pain is real
the crying all the more and more degrading
feel the numbness in my throat
just stop your bleeding
stop your screaming
sew your wicked lips
and press your face against the fabric

a casualty of war
a parasite upon the open road
just feel the numbness in my throat

trapped in a time machine
studying vocabulary
passing the day with porcelain dolls for company
no it's not easy
substituting food for pharmaceuticals
training my lungs to breath in carbon dioxide
trapped in a time machine
training my lungs to breath in
