Defiant Skin

From the spoken word album Puissance -1 by Big-Hired Assassin

there is freedom in the ward of the damned
i have waited for an eternity
to stretch my sullen hands
across the border of this sullen atmosphere

i have no desire to sleep
i have no desire to rest
i only want us to get a little closer to understanding
what the difference is between sustenance and art

man has ruined all that has been given
we have chosen to allow for most of this to occur
do not act as if you are innocent
do not pretend to be indifferent

this is my playground
this is my chance to show my anger
my empathy
my intolerance
and my reality

we’ll fly further from our point of existence than ever before
curse our mother and consume our father
for this is man, and man discourteously casts his morals aside
for the chance to make his pockets one inch deeper than his fellows

you wonder why death, disease, greed, and famine plagues us

just call me noah, buddha, hare krishna, moses, jesus, or the antichrist
but believe me when i say that i am but an artist
who is intrigued by passion
and mystified with the idea of freedom
