Rule Eight
Dripping on the floor
The red silk runs smooth
Between my aching fingers
Suck in the smoke
Drifts up into my nose
Feels like breathing sulfur
Inhale and exhale
Chest heeving heavily
Sweat dripping in my eyes
Tonight we are all human
Fight your first night
Tonight we are all free
No anger, no hatred
Clinch the fist tightly
The journey starts now
Hair and fingernails
Go limp from pressure
Naked and ashamed
In Tyler we trust
In Tyler we trust
Another space monkey
Ready to sacrifice themself
For the greater good
The red silk runs smooth
Between my aching fingers
Suck in the smoke
Drifts up into my nose
Feels like breathing sulfur
Inhale and exhale
Chest heeving heavily
Sweat dripping in my eyes
Tonight we are all human
Fight your first night
Tonight we are all free
No anger, no hatred
Clinch the fist tightly
The journey starts now
Hair and fingernails
Go limp from pressure
Naked and ashamed
In Tyler we trust
In Tyler we trust
Another space monkey
Ready to sacrifice themself
For the greater good

"If this is your first night at Fight Club, you have to fight."
Yes, I love the movie and book a lot. Yes, I write about it. I'm weird.
