I: Other/Hex
That which holds your nature/
at such an awful distance/
leaves a stranger inside/
Alien, demon, other/
standing in relation to/
a manufactured world/
whose initiatory rites/
are ritual abuse/
through which generations carve/
their sigils deeper still/
and siphon gray matter/
through the leylines
“You are an unprotected force/
that takes away/
what we/
have chosen to grow/
Holding onto/
existence/
like a healing tomb/
leaves me feeding this hole/
drilled/
into your ground/
Abuse abuse/
leaves a stranger inside/
helping us die/
Extinction in my eyes/
Were you born/
and can you die?”
Hex of stagnation/
inverter of this holy life/
engine of all ruin and debt/
were you born and can you die?/
In the leaden maze of circumstance/
this curse holds ever tight/
center of the enemy/
of all human possibility/
drawing itself on my face
“Faster/
Everything goes a bit faster/
Slow, everything faster/
Were you born and can you die?”
II: Struggle
“Faster/
Everything goes/
dies faster/
Everything onward “
Each and every instance/
of damage to the avatar/
knocks the user more remote/
struggling in vain to trace/
the current backwards/
What could it hope to find/
but softer handcuffs/
looser reins/
a thicker mask/
a larger cage/
What/
does/
your/
imagination/
even/
allow you to want?
III: Survival
Despair at the miracle of our works/
Scorpion tail coming down/
Elaborate structure of punishment/
Psychotic engines turn/
For this we sow perversion of birthright/
and unceremonious corpse-heaps/
Our hounds must always bay/
Our sharks must always smell blood/
For in these waters/
it is not enough/
to advocate/
for your continued existence/
but rather you must/
declare your simple right to be/
at the expense/
of that of every other
