Backstroke into the void Anti-matter slipping through fingers To the center of a flower Lives some kind of Jinn Cleaning up pools of bloody milk and carcinogens Lingering long after the birth of a god Celestial decay In the name of catharsis The Tiger never turned human Instead lies around all day Nursing its wounds Gnawing the hardened peel of shed skin That once cradled a desire to see the world unravelling While no one was looking I stole the altar money Raised my palms up to discord in equal exchange Stared into the sun till my eyes went blank Sucked out the stain till there was nothing left In a return to unbecoming Mould the clay Pick a name Poke some holes Said, "Be alive" The sublime stares back with Its tongue dripping out The sublime stares back with Its tongue dripping out The sublime stares back with Its tongue dripping out The sublime stares back with Its tongue dripping out I'm tryna get up again Please don't make me see it You're making it hard for me Tryna get up again I'm tryna get up again Please don't make me see it You're making it hard for me Now I'm tryna get up again
