unchained thoughts
Folder:
stuff that doesn't matter much I'm dodging phantoms in the waking world,
In dreams they seem more real, imbued with vital substance & consequence.
If I turn my head top fast my vision lags to catch up,
and everything slides back into dizzy focus - my eyes find your eyes,
and I sense an understanding.
I've walked with rubber legs on a paper sheet,
I've felt my jaw bone broken,
I've breathed in cringing tears,
and someone once told me I was nothing.
If you turn your dog-face grin up at me, I'll pull your choke-chain tighter
If you puff out your chest, I'll burn the air around you
If you catch my twisting hands I'll chew them off
If you deny me I will sacrifice myself to the gods of violence to destroy you.
:) there are so many

anyways favs are
" If I turn my head top fast my vision lags to catch up"
