Lyrics is an excerpt from the play '4.48 Psychosis' by Sarah Kane

Hatch opens
Stark light

A table two chairs and no windows

Here I am
and there is my body

dancing on glass


In accident time where there are no accidents

You have no choice
the choice comes after

Cut out my tongue
tear out my hair
cut off my limbs
but leave me my love
I would rather have lost my legs
pulled out my teeth
gouged out my eyes
than lost my love

flash flicker slash burn wring press dab slash flash flicker punch burn float flicker dab flicker punch flicker flash burn dab press wring press punch flicker float burn flash flicker burn


it will never pass


dab flicker punch slash wring slash punch slash float flicker flash punch wring press flash press dab flicker wring burn flicker dab flash dab float burn press burn flicker burn flash

Nothing's forever

(but Nothing)


slash wring punch burn flicker dab float dab flicker burn punch burn flash dab press dab wring flicker float slash burn slash punch slash press slash float slash flicker burn dab


Victim. Perpetrator. Bystander.



punch burn float flicker flash flicker burn slash wring press dab slash flash flicker dab flicker punch flicker flash burn dab press flicker wring press punch flash flicker burn flicker flash


the morning brings defeat


wring slash punch slash float flicker flash punch wring dab flicker punch slash press flash press dab flicker wring burn flicker dab flash dab float burn press burn flash flicker slash


beautiful pain
that says I exist


flicker punch slash dab wring press burn slash press slash punch flicker flash press burn slash dab flicker float flash flicker dab press burn slash press slash punch flash flicker burn


and a saner life tomorrow
