the SOCIALLY ANXIOUS FLAMETHROWER

from DARKNET by Rswll

lyrics

Cut your iris
If those eyelids shut on me
Teardrops do not…
Sprung only to freeze

My gaps scream out
But the hollowness sings sweet
Chewed on my heart
ever since I saw the start
I swell on my own teeth

Nothing else fills me, I am my need
I am that I eat
I’ve not another mouth
to sell support
I’ve not another mouth to feed

Nobody taught me
to swim through the river where
small sparks, last lights
line up to drown
No steps to follow
I march through flames
Every step a trailblazer
burned through the ground

Gasoline tightrope
with no net on which to fall
Every atlas I held with trust
Helped me to withdraw

So I spit fire
I can’t swallow my smoke
Flamethrower baby knows no light,
But still can light bone

Nobody taught me this life of autonomy
“Sink or swim,” they said,
sticking lead to my feet
Nobody taught me this life of autonomy
"Sink or swim" they said,
"But we'd rather see you dead."
