lyrics

A: my spirit's crying from a dark place
like i'm in a hollow egg shell --
i could crack so easy --
but i keep pressure on all sides, so i'll never break

free,
from an exterior that binds --
rather than reflects -- me
i’m starving -- shrinking away --
It goes beyond physical recognition, it’s heart palpitations and metronomed rhythms
it’s brain shocks! nightmares!
i feel, inside, that I’m different than
the person in pictures i identify as
than this mask in the mirror that won’t come off --
fused to this face, i can’t name
to this day
fused to these bones, i don’t know
i dont own
En bloc, nom de guerre -- in this skin that shivers and quivers
as it cloaks me in this flesh
