satellites
!i tried to self destruct and totally burn out
just throw it all away
i am indestructible, it turns out
i can't just leave the stage
not right in the middle of the game
even the biggest, baddest dogs
have their wounds to lick
even the sharpest knives
can become victim to it's width
the angels on my shoulders
battle demons
from my dark world of hate and fun
the snakes in my stomach
continue to hide from the sun
and i
walk this walk with iron feet
rusted and dragged along the concrete street
you can see me, maybe even feel me
scraping by
but you can't be me
that is my job
