Clear Shot

cut like the silver sliver of a liver
living in a place that nobody knows
leaving the place and going nowhere

lost on the way to the grave
a slave to your tongue's desire
brave to overcome the biggest wave

naive to believe your lies
subliminal answer to a question never asked
my task is always to survive

allocate closet performances
dislocate one of the back bones
suffer the chronic pain of not knowing

and run around you like a long distance runner
who lost the last olympics
until noticing the red light go out

I give up talking to the test dummy
I refuse to be your pet
rolling around on the floor of anguish

So so be it, so be it always so
I will guide myself by the beat of my heart
and push your body to the side.
