Crawling on the Ceiling

[Sick]

S: Crawling on the Ceiling

V1:

Return to the terminus,

Pull the ripcord and watch me go.

Escape velocity from my dermis,

Hypnotized by the wide open beyond.

Wind me up and pull my spring,

Dancing forever amidst everything.

Drawstring heart on a wrought iron bridge-

Fall to pieces, baby, we’re living in sin.

V2:

Tartar and plaque,

Break my fuckin’ back,

Spine tingling sickness,

A fugue inside this shivering meat sack.

Teeth clatter,

Take them out my mouth and watch them chatter.

Swimming through endless pools of gray matter-

Melt out your skull,

Watch the dust scatter.

C:

A dope with nothing to smoke,

An escape artist without a rope.

Mucus drain and headache cluster-

“Say, kid, where’s all that bluster?”

Crawl on the ceiling,

Ejection alarm.

Grab my soul and haul me off to the funny farm.

Hypodermic,

Hypochondriac,

Scuttle up the ceiling like a rat.

V3:

Lucid pangs of hunger grow,

Bleed into my bowl, it’s all I know.

Swallow a cough as the snakes crawl up-

Pin me to the ceiling until I’m stuck.

C:

A dope with nothing to smoke,

An escape artist without a rope.

Mucus drain and headache cluster-

“Say, kid, where’s all that bluster?”

Crawl on the ceiling,

Ejection alarm.

Grab my soul and haul me off to the funny farm.

Hypodermic,

Hypochondriac,

Scuttle up the ceiling like a rat.

B:

Found some expired Amoxicilin in the shower…

Crawled into the attic’s bower…

Lie on my side, fix my ribs,

Seep into the sheetrock.

Bedrock,

Insulation,

Ghost myself,

Hyperventilation.

Tipping tail over teakettle…

Dizzy until my nerves settle.

C:

A dope with nothing to smoke,

An escape artist without a rope.

Mucus drain and headache cluster-

“Say, kid, where’s all that bluster?”

Crawl on the ceiling,

Ejection alarm.

Grab my soul and haul me off to the funny farm.

Hypodermic,

Hypochondriac,

Scuttle up the ceiling like a rat.

O:

Sound of a person vomiting and breathing heavy, intermittent groans
