Rote - Human Remains

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
