BODY HORROR

My body is an old film Disintegrated echoes Picking up dust Born-again pixels When I die how will they dress me Cause suits and ties depress me Picking up dust Worrying a lot I wish my body was a melody And I could tweak its chemistry Reverb it til it clips Sing it like an elegy Distort it til it fits Dance along endlessly Death of the image, reborn and dismantled Now I'm finding power in the sample They don't believe the lie Crossfade me to the light I'm the image of the knife spilling latex guts I'm the scabbing over time of cotton wool blood But I don't believe the lie Crossfade me to the night Don't miss me I'm right here

maybe don't go yet but i'm already a ghost what the body doesn't know yet i'm already a note maybe don't go yet but i'm already a ghost what the body doesn't know yet i'm already a note in a song

ANON 02:27
etch a sketch arms like i was drawing up the blueprints sharpie pen and pin, tracing veins to where the truth hid little map of angry lyrics on my blue skin hoodie in the heat, bloody passages are pooling i was in a daze for months, but no one knew it then i was missing days for months, and going through it then i had to take the blame for crumbling and blueprinting i was sitting by the pool, trying to keep it hidden bend my skinny body, crumble over a torn canvas pray to all my favourite bands that they would heal the damage fix me fix me fix me, i love you so much it hurts, anon be my laptop light until the sunrise, anon i was emailing a stranger who died anon or maybe they didnt and lied bodies pixelated, webcam call with a ghost it was desperate and distant, but to us it felt close pictures of alone i tried to recreate like everything i'd known

LIGHT&COLOUR 06:42
it's hard to find words to summon up the hurt it's hard to write skin as it slips light and colour it's hard to find words to clarify the hurt it's hard to speak the thoughts inside your head light and colour is it hard to write a song? does it help to make something out of space? does it help project a body in its place? light and colour.

Irena 07:07
so scared of my guts but forgetting the air they spill into i stopped taping it shut an experiment in what comes crawling out and we wait and we wait irena there's something in me too and i wanna talk about it with you irena there's something in me too and i wanna cry about it with you collected dresses to wear one day collecting dust so my skin can get a taste it's always death tryna take my place in the projected pictures on empty spaces i know you're not a ghost but they haunt themselves to our graves sharpened pitchforks and flames and we wait and we wait irena there's something in me too and i wanna talk about it with you irena there's something in me too and i wanna cry about it with you
