I am all raccoon eyes, I am peacock-colored flesh
I am supple parchment, my skin a palimpsest

In red filigree the madmen carve their illustrious names
And with clumsy blue marks in quick succession stake their claims

No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open

I am drying eyes, I am fading green-yellow flesh
I am brittle parchment, a bleached palimpsest

Living each wound again as a first kiss
Clasping tightly memories of myriad fists

No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open

This sovereignty is all that's sacred to me
This is the key to kicking tyranny

No no nobody can own me
This is my only authority
My my my body is mine to poison
It is my gift for the killers to cut open
To cut open
To cut open
(To cut open)
