I Am Chromosome

I'm the coil unfolding, screw back up
I'm the flower unfurling, buttercup

fill it up to a bursting
fill it up
I'm the bridge that is breaking under foot
bring the meat to the boil
serve it up
leave the body to spoil
let it rot
stick a head on a plate
frenzy food
take a knife to the limb
six-foot cook

all my dreams are nightmares
foolish baby boy

reflect, reflect

i remember the moment I wake up
was the reason I torture myself was
i've been chosen to carry this burden
scratch my tissue with finger, nails and thumbs
collar-blade from a swan
sharp and cold
pull a bone from the arm of your son

how you disappoint me
you'll be forgotten

i live in a fantasy
where I am dead and worshipped
people adore and love me
poor boy what pain you felt
my body floats like dead wood
replace my limbs with branches

i am chromosome
i am chromosome

result, result
result, result
result, result
result, result
result, result
result, result

i am chromosome
get away from here
go away go away from here
now
