New Batteries

Barbwire that's stapled
in my bleeding mouth
Locked in a cage
naked animals beat me
and a saviour knocks
an untamed animal inserts new batteries
and charges once again
and charges once again
and charges once again
and charges once again

We set off into the unknown
until we destroy
everything and are dominant
once again
once again
once again
once again into the back where we ride

The barbwire returns
in my mouth, ripping an old healed wound
My soul has
grown rusty
I want to cut
and slice myself to death
But lacking courage,
I shut myself off instead

I'm alone again
