cursed to be kissed

from PUTING BELIUNG by bani haykal

lyrics

i have stopped
moving, cursed to be kissed
blessed and ripped apart
by death machines lick
my bones dry, peeled apart
from flesh and displayed
for the masses, witness
the spirit breaking, overcome
with grief and pain
this body contorts itself
further to blend
against the demands of tyranny

may spells of the broken devour the powerful
may spells of the broken devour the powerful

locked in blocked out
socked in clocked out
the first gestures you
find creeping back at
you will break your smiles
designed to lure the fearful
of losing the things
they never had. been possessed
and manoeuvred like autonomous
drivel fear drives you
to enable the powerful to set
your life on auto-pilot, push
buttons, engines, automate
dreams, realities, fears
and strengths chained to their
stories of the future

may spells of the broken devour the powerful
may spells of the broken devour the powerful
