Text: Grade. Becoming Not Being.

How the rapier speaks to flesh
Is not unlike the serpents' tongue
Enlightenment of understanding
Through confrontation

I'm not using
My perspective as an excuse
I'm not using
My perspective as an excuse

Adversaries as gravity
And momentum step through apologies
For the right time to kill
For the right time to kill

And if concrete holds me below
I will marvel at the sun until I stop breathing
Decay and return as apparitions
I will move amongst you

As hopes and as dreams
Place the pillow
Over
Over your face

As hopes and dreams
Place the pillow
Over your face

I'm not using
My perspective as an excuse
I'm not using
My perspective as an excuse
