The Cotton Optic

Brittle air for blue lungs

Shuttle fare for radiant tongues

Untie your sleeping sores to wake up scratching

Rejecting deathreign in a moment of bewilderment

REDEEM REDEEM

DEMAND DEMAND

CONTORT CONTORT

REALITY REALITY

Basement and backyard skymachine bleachers

A corroded drone is all that is left

Abate my eyes with bear traps and snares

The fear pounds in your chest

Like claustrophobic demons

Brittle air for blue lungs

Shuttle fare for radiant tongues

Untie your sleeping sores to wake up scratching

Rejecting deathreign in a moment of bewilderment

And the fear pounds in your chest like claustrophobic demons

The mummified trauma of daylight delusions

Dilapidated posture dazzled by filth

Baking soda smile - Jackknife in the passenger seat

Sit back and watch retired ambitions croak

Fascination is wearing thin

Hag-ridden abscessed teeth of hope

The wrecking ball toll of crushed coal dreams

Decoding the pearls in the whirlwind

Disposable antidotes as fragmental cutthroats

These plastic superhero suits are starting to choke

CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE

REDEEM REDEEM

DEMAND DEMAND

CONTORT CONTORT

REALITY REALITY

It hits like a kick in the gut

Smashed through the floor

To find (out) what I was looking for

Rusty brain matter floating in rainwater
