inert

♪

Inert flesh, a bloody tomb

A decorated splatter brightens the room

So turn it on, tune it in

And stay inert

You say "I've got the backbone"

Cannibals eat human brains for dessert

Buried under deep dirt, mobility inert

I insert these codes for the cataclysm

What do I do, but wait for you?

Late nights inert

Rehearsing every word, unheard, a sonnet-silent blur

I am nothing, the pain awake is forging me

Face down, inert

Forcing me, dreams haunting me

Hung in my hammock reading Kurt

Struggling to remain inert

Now that the summer's here

Just a barely polite nod, and nervous stares towards the ground

I once joined a priest class, plastic, inert

In a slowdance with commerce

Confined no more my vision

Inert and bursting

Here impossibles co-exist

Robed in the armillary room

Inert for all my years

And then fell into you

Bowling in ice hockey rinks

Anarchy camp's never inert (you think we don't know that it's)

Not much fun 'til someone gets hurt

Inert common people without love

Are going down everyday

Not a picture in a frame nor a fresh disguise

But my other self, immobile inert and sanguine

My narcissus kisses exhale crimson breath

And you can tell they're all looking at you

Feel so inert it starts to hurt

So that's your name and I tell myself

I'm not sure how to just react

Feel inert deep inside my chest

I wish I did

Tissues molten

Bodily gases inert

Human inferno

infected gore

Your body is inert

your heart does not beat

You came around and tilted my earth

Left my mind spinning, my body inert

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts
