eagle clawed teeth rip from your confidence
shattered teeth twisting to four dimensions
morning dew like acid solidifying innocence
soft stone heart decomposed by intuitions
body ripped to pieces at dreams side
eternity your body busts from swelling pain
running backward with no place to hide
hope and strength are taught to refrain
lets spit razors from our insides
and play with rats we gut and eat
genetic memory devoured by logic
iced breath as insides burn and scream defeat
dripping red from open skin of lessons burned
severed heads on thrown grave weakened minds
scored above the breath fighting alongside solitude
for each back turned piled are past skeletal spines
a moth struggling out of its cocoon
