Humanity lies connected   Within a constellation of bodies   Each of us shines and dances   Giving to much to what’s percepted   Behind walls of flesh our hearts—   Lie—hidden and protected   Trying to hard to be accepted…   So—hard to reach out – stand out   Reflection – self-rejection –      Looking upon my flesh   I wish for no more   With knife I cut   ‘Till slivers of skin   Lie in blood upon the floor   And – I wonder(X 4)   Now that I’m a monster   Scabbed, bloodied, scarred, and sore   Will you still love me anymore?      The flesh disowned lies in the shadows-   Of fashion / profit / consumption / nothing   Pale white bone animated / standing alone   Burn – perception / Burn – perception
