I’m going to take all my blood back, baby, everything
I spilled or gifted to the world. The sunlight whispered
that if I suffered a little longer I could have it all back. 

Commanded me, hand in the open fire and dance, baby, said
I need you to test time’s bluff, prove an hour could last forever.
Make me last forever. Attest these fresh wounds are worth this 

sweet promised infinite. So I did it faithfully, baby, the burning.
I come proud, skin stripped to bone. Now, just required to wait
on hold, aflame, for the check to be cashed. Soon I’ll have everything.
