raw

lyrics

this world was not made for me

one layer of skin

let it wander
stretching out arms

do i not deserve the many lives
i lead

inside
each weighs on

me
equally

this world was not made for me

it was made for oxygen
plants
pollution
mammals reproducing in the bushes

this world was not made for me

gravity bending my bones
time unfolding linearly

extensions of wants and waits
tentacles touching everything

sucking in the newness the unknown-
the unknowable world-

i live a life of dreams
both waking and never seen

this world was not made for me

it was made for veins
never-ending pumping liquids
stopping death
cells falling in love

this world was not made for me

i want to kiss everyone
i want to stick my tongue inside their mouths

and suck them dry

i want them to need me
to see me
to see the me i lay down in front of them
carefully

i lay out the lie
on lines of longing

lye with me

this world was not made for me

it was made for death and war
it was made for humans dying of starvation
bloated with bodies inside bodies
reproduction

i was not made for this world
the road is not solid beneath me

it bubbles and boils in the summer heat

i sink into it- inside it
suffocating my thoughts

melting my dreams
intentions unfolding into the black

nothingness of wanting

this world was not made for me

i was not made for this world

this world

this world

was made to have mammals reproduce

keep the cycle going
keep us killing each other and being born

this world was made to exist

just exist
just exist.
