Scraping the bars
Never released
I am a
Recluse in a cage
Two-legged freak
This is my cage
Living, breathing, atrophied
Sullen as I lie in pieces
Become the underdog
Feeding on his own diseases
Between our futile breaths
Prayers to a loitering god
I am forever standing still
The hymns of misery invoke
Scraping the bars
Never released
I am the
Recluse in a cage
Two-legged freak
This is my cage
I am fixed in posture fetal
Drowned in afterbirth
Dwell with the ants and beetles
Under the cursed earth
Stalked by the black dog
The subjugate seldom released from it
Sadist cohabitant
If I can slaughter silence
Will sleepers be giants?
Scraping the bars
Never released
I am the
Recluse in a cage
Two-legged freak
This is my cage
Scraping the bars
Never released
I am the
Recluse in a cage
Two-legged freak
This is my cage
