Dream of the Sky and the Ritual and the Damage

Skin
Sky
Blood
Eyes
Warmth
Life
Cold
Night

This is all I want
Take my skin away
No body, no feeling
Chest open
Loving gaze

Breath
Grin
Irreversible
Alterations
Body
Screams
Bleeds
Heart
Sings

This is all I want
Take my skin away
No control I deserve this
Body convulsing
Irreparable change

I lie here in tatters
I want to be reduced to
A passive, ruined state
No choices, no function
And I will finally feel
Calm and safe

Your hands sew together what's left
The parts you couldn't replace
But you love just the same
Tell me you love me just the same

I awake now, the pain is gone
I'm spread across this room
And your thoughts
I want to be remembered
By no one but you

Take this
All of this

I'm yours

The wires, the relays
My body is now something
Beautiful and strange
No pain or agency
I am immobile
Built into the circuits of this place
Every month you visit
And tell me how good I've been
Your breath against my face
No purpose, just waiting
It's everything that I want
The pain all stripped away

Reduce me
Reduce me
Reduce me
Reduce me
