Recycled Carbon from the Past
Recycled carbon from the past,
I’m just altered a bit.
Shed my skin like a snake,
I guess I’m having a fit.
I need a change of pace,
Like the blood I spit.
I just found a new blade,
We’re in court, take a pic.
I don’t mean to sound dark; I just have to get the thoughts out,
I’d really rather die, I get inside and turn the lights out,
Burn me to the ground, but you better blow my stack out,
If they spin me back up, then I’m coming like a bloodhound.
I don’t know,
Why I feel this,
Turncoat,
I’m ambivalent.
Caught somewhere between the border, my feelings are like a hoarder,
Nobody sees my horror, someone summon the coroner,
I’ll prob’bly head to Florida, even though I’m a northerner,
Just looking for that cocahina,
Find me a cute el nina,
I’d rather die with my blood intoxicated, long ‘fore I die naked,
Took my time to think it over, but the time’s racing.
Barely living except for my own body’s shaking,
This is my last note before I blow my dome’s ignition,
Trigger finger itching, for my blood I’m wishing.
