onto the toilet

sphincter sphinx

|
someone comes into the toilet just when i’m about to crack
the only five minutes i wanted to stay intact
alone
i wanted to be alone
i wanted to check if my period had decided to come back or if had lost control of my sphincters
i haven’t lost control much recently
i am not left alone
cuando empieza aparece la mierda
tengo la esfinge dentro es la piedra
tengo la esfinge dentro y no la suelta
the sphinx escorts me in the darkness i hear the question
the question i most fear
but suddenly i have an answer
as long as you are giving me the answer i will believe it
somebody lift my skirt somebody pull my tongue somebody do everything for me somebody solve the riddle of
the sphinx is prepared for anything armed hard with punctured smile and broken lies and cheats
she has broken her bite
immortal after all the people that she has devoured after not solving her insides
all tangled inside
after everybody telling her she was worth nothing if she wasn’t dancing and now
all tangled inside
cuando empieza aparece la mierda
tengo la esfinge dentro es la piedra
tengo la esfinge dentro y no la suelta
she tells her tales of love devoured and smiles an unpleasant one with hard to swallow lies hiding in between beautiful truth to shut you up or keep you silent
all tangled inside

not today (death)

something hangs heavy
over my head
for when i’m dead
i’m dancing on a thinning thread
it hangs me around my neck
it pulls me somewhere else
and i pray for it to never break
i thought i deserve to die
i can’t breathe but my lungs tell me it’s okay (death has tried get me again)
not today (death has tried get me again)
mother doesn’t need to see me dead to know i want to be
mother you are next to me i know you see me cry and think it is easy to know why but all i’m asking myself is why didn’t i didn’t i die didn’t i die did i did i why do i keep waking up
i have nothing better to do than throw up in this toilet tell nobody that i’m choking
mother doesn’t need to see me dead to know i
have nothing better to do than throw up in this toilet tell nobody that i’m choking
mother doesn’t need to see me dead to know i am
MAMA I’M OKAY I’M OKAY
WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY
MAMA I’M OKAY I’M OKAY
I DON’T CARE WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS
i thought i deserve to die
i can’t breathe but my lungs tell me it’s okay
i have never felt more alive than when i was so close to dying
lies
i felt dying

insect in the toilet
02:49
|
|||
|
i want an insect to come to me and lay its eggs inside my soul
come to mi like a malefice
mal augurio
let it be a water
boatman
so i can ride him forever away
from whatever is laid
upon my shoulders
i crack under his broken breath
head in the toilet and again
like a cycle that never ends
the so bad it turns into excellence
where do my screams go all the way round and come back at me with a laugh?
when?
that most of the times i’ve knelt in front of a toilet it has been to clean it
i am a GOOD girl
i want an insect to come to me and lay its eggs inside my soul
o tal vez quiero serlo yo
un insecto en un juego de ordenador
