an impossibly tiny thread
through the bone of my forehead
my heart could not push blood
but i knew i wasn't dead
and at the other end
the impossible machine
and a crowd of ugly men
they will send it down the string
and i don't know
what they want from me
unreasonable things
bite through the plastic tube
spraying blood into the room
somehow moving down the hall
then i slip and then i fall
a stranger takes my hand
and she helps me try to stand
and she asks me if i can
explain to her just who i am
now i'm sitting in a chair
she washes blood out of my hair
oh yes, she wants me to stay
she says it'll be okay
but i can still hear that creeping sound
oh yes, i know they're still around
they got that thing pointed at my face
and i gotta leave this place
and i don't know
if it's them or me
supplying the power
to the machine
then my father came to hold me
and he told me not to worry
i would find a way
even though the men were crazy
and the machine so very deadly
i would find a way
to cut the string
to be free
