Void - Lorna Shore

Falling apart I’m wasting away

Split in two on this table with nothing to say

Saws and knives slice open the skin

Painting red lines of such gorgeous design

My body is decomposing art

As a child I often dreamt of death

Of the day and how it would come

And what were the final effects

Will there be flies that make homes within my eyes

Will my soul split like an atom and wander the skies

Or fall to the earth with no one’s surprise

The body subsides

Am I damned to wander the earth

No soul to subside I seek rest in the dirt

How can I still feel this emotion

Why can I see beyond the grave

How can I still feel this emotion

A life long lost with nothing left to save

A series of needles dive within the skin

To seal shut the incision the coroner has made within

I can’t quite comprehend my eyes

Floating above my body the misery will never subside

My body is decomposing art

As a child I often dreamt of death

Of the day and how it would come

And what were the final effects

I am decomposing I have been chosen

To fall to the knife to end my fucking life

Hallelujah the day has come

Hallelujah thine body is done

A series of needles dive within the skin

To seal shut the incision the coroner has made within

I can’t quite comprehend my eyes

Floating above my body the misery will never subside

Will there be flies that make homes within my eyes

Will my soul split like an atom and wander the skies

Or fall to the earth with no one’s surprise

The body subsides

Am I damned to wander the earth

No soul to subside I seek rest in the dirt
