Gotta tear through every fetter and then tie yourself up
Arid peace isn’t freedom without the capacity for violence
Inertia, oh!
Not pornographic but this is candid
Sensations,
Repeat defeats without subjugation
It hurts,
It has to hurt
Opening wounds for a space to move your fingers
The paintbrush is pushed to the edges of its canvas
There’s a fear of freedom that comes when it exceeds your interests
