Obsession turns addiction The skin a masochist playground In which I illustrate emotion Through physical deformation Pain is unfelt Bodily desire overwhelms the consciousness The need to express myself Rational thought paralysed by Artistic difference My compulsion must be brought To obscurity Of art I carve my skin Seperation of thought Involuntary actions The head torn apart Overlapped by skin Digits cut short Lips sewn together Tongue cut apart These are my actions Held together by rods Eyelids peeled back Conclusion by rote Altering ego questions Exercise now done Body will now alter Consciousness succumbs The masterpiece now forgiven The final word unveiled A sudden decay is now revealed The body now done Obsession turns addiction The skin a masochist playground In which I illustrate emotion Through physical deformation Pain is unfelt.
