Dare to be a man, to see a fruit, reach out, your hand in the cookie jar, red card, out of bounds, you’re out, the rules, and community, binding, walking in the light, on the sidewalk, my freedom is restricted, I'm in prison, self-imposed, a sort of magick, a vampire, feeding on mana, some sort of juice, some sort of energy, hiding in the shadows, my shell and my shield, a hymen is broken, reflections, people and their truth, painting a picture, sure, you can do it, but even words have a price, drawn, and constructed, according to desire, shaped by the audience, a template, a configuration file, broken string, running out, just air, I'm calculating, an excel spread sheet, I don’t do math, but I can make an advertisement, Photoshop, a banner, walk in the light shadows, handcuffs, overvalued, but it cost me my life, exaggeration, and art, did it stimulate, fill an emotion, space, a locked room, do you exist, negotiations, the abyss, around the corner, what could be, walk through the jungle, sharks, and panthers, some lines you can't cross, if there’s a bridge, over the river, your world, and my world, depending on your perception, did you give me up, am I dead, tick, tick, beep, beep, we need a blood bypass, pump, pump, harder, harder, for the love of god, in the name of Jesus Christ, you shall live!
