Cut your iris
If those eyelids shut on me
Teardrops do not
Sprung only to freeze
My gaps scream out
But the emptiness sings sweet
I chewed on my heart
Ever since I saw the start, I
Swell on my own teeth
Nothing else fills me; I am my need
I am that I eat
With not another mouth to sell support
I've not another mouth to feed
Nobody taught me to swim the river where
Small sparks, last lights line up to drown
No steps to follow, I march through flames
Every step a trailblazer burned through the ground
Every step a trailblazer burned through the ground
Every step a trailblazer burned through the ground
Every step a trailblazer burned through the ground
Every step a trailblazer burned through the ground
Gasoline tightrope
With no net on which to fall
And every atlas I held with trust
Helped me
To withdraw
So I spit fire
I can't swallow my smoke
A flamethrower baby knows no light
But still can light bone
'Cause nobody taught me this life of autonomy
"Sink or swim," they said
Sticking lead to my feet
Nobody taught me this life of autonomy
"Sink or swim," they said
"But we'd rather see you dead"
