Strip, strip, strip away
the iron that surrounds me
Stop time from moving backwards
All the images I see
Thoughts spinning through my tired mind
trying to protect me
Craving/wishing/wanting/needing
trying to neglect me
Men men men
Food food food
Men men food
Smoke rip pop
Rip men food
pop rip slap
Food rip men
slap pop smoke
trying to sedate me
and keep the pain that’s locked away inside my frozen flesh
It’s been hiding, hiding, hiding there, for no one to be traced
oh where do you think you can find me,
Who’s hiding there, who’s inside of here?
Who’s trying hard to seek me?
Breathe breathe breathe
Weep weep weep
Breathe breathe weep
Move write talk
Write breathe weep
Talk write draw
Weep write breathe
Draw talk move
trying to release me
from the pain that’s stored away,
The wave that washes through me
will take away the sour taste, the images that haunt me
Who’s born up there, brought up in here, locked inside the iron tower,
Craving/wishing/wanting/needing
trying to distract me
Who’s searching here, who’s climbing up
the golden stair, still trying yet to seek me
Oh I, I ,I,
yes I am here
Remembering,
enduring still
Alive enough to find me
