Feral Vaccination

from Stanley by Sylvia Haynes

/

lyrics

My mantra is nails on skin
Whats inside is thick, but
The outside just gets thinner

My mantra is bruise until unconvulse
Whats inside is out, and
The outside is happening somewhere else

My mantra is snuff films in reverse
I watch eyes fill back up with life, but
Still feel cursed

My mantra is do not repeat
I was not meant for this;
My attention span is weak

but, I gotta lotta things to say,
I know, I know,
I should shut up, I should just go

My feral is feminine
I bruise blue from branches
That end where I begin

My feral is finding a pulse
These test results are clearly
For someone else

But, I wrote a map of leaves hollow,
Ink, it blows. I'll blow you a kiss
Before I go

If I knew the back of my hands as well as these roads
I'd know where it goes when I become the scenery

If the best thoughts didn't come at the worst hours
I'd build you a tower out of what you mean to me

But, i'm a crumbling artifact of
False facts fled, but left intact, of
Veins torn out to draw a map, that
Only I can see

Now my nose is loaded like a gun
This hand is dripping crimson numb
If I were you, I'd start to run
To somewhere I can't see

And how could you say it was just my body?
And how you could you have known it was never my own?
