I walk in time with the bass 
Because it makes me feel real 
It's my first time hearing my feet hit the floor
Break from breath and sweat and skin 

Fire melts my face 
I wish it would melt me to my bones 
Calcium rupture milky froth spill 
Slow beats couldn’t stop me then

It's my porcelain body
my flat pixilated soul 
mothers board
braided in disparate wires 
I renounce my former voice 
my oil, my keratin, my salt

It's cleaner here 
In my glossy sphere with my glossy grin                                                     In my fractured glossy lense 
Stepping in time with the bass 
Swaying to words from a mouth I'll never know 
I love you 
because you’ll never be mine
