Song | Phantom Limb Masturbation |
Artist | The Black Dahlia Murder |
Album | Everblack |
It started as a child | |
when I first sought to flirt with fate | |
I’d lay next to the tracks with arms outstretched across the rails | |
daydreaming fantasizing of sparks and screeching brakes | |
the plumes of bright red gushing iridescent in the sun | |
adopt a life of struggle | |
one down three more to go | |
desire: amputation | |
leave me writhing in the limbless throes | |
it is deficiency I crave | |
I want so to be helpless | |
to inferiority a slave | |
a clump of breathing flesh | |
free from extremity | |
now replete with nothing left | |
disassemble me | |
limb from limb oh what a treat | |
no more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie | |
my prayer is for calamity | |
merciful blades to sever me | |
crippling | |
detruncating | |
immobile by design | |
majestic ancient titan | |
swims proudly in its tank | |
I wish to slake its hunger | |
flailing my legs as bait | |
“I finally feel complete. I am now whole.” | |
superfluous gesture | |
an unnecessary art | |
sacrificial offering | |
unto the gilded saw | |
rid me of my shame | |
of what I’ve overachieved | |
my envy is the handicapped | |
lord I beg of you I plead | |
I plead | |
wheelchairs prosthetics crutches | |
all stimulus to me | |
my love beyond mere fetish | |
call it disabling | |
I’d waltz upon a landmine | |
feed digits to machines | |
phantom limb masturbation | |
the only way | |
dissemble me | |
limb from limb oh what a treat | |
no more feeling incomplete nor encumbered by this lie | |
my prayer is for calamity | |
merciful blades to sever me | |
crippling | |
detruncating | |
immobile by design | |
disassemble me | |
piece by piece a loving feat | |
body image incomplete corrected by a knife | |
my hope is for catastrophe | |
a gangrenous limbdectomy | |
dismantling | |
dismembering | |
cut down to perfect size |
It started as a child | |
