Like a newborn building



Has it started? or is it all over again
my body's exposure!!!
acid touch, human extinction

Blood runs through my plastic veins
it makes my cement facade harder
her I am, strong and big, cold and empty

I sit with my legs crossed... a lot
if you see it from the front
it looks like a huge, fat, ugly, oak tree

If the apple falls from the tree
and rots, smushed
is mother the root of all evil?

They call me Isabella
they say my heart is made of gold
they say so many things out there.

///

Er det begyndt? Eller er det slut igen
min krops udsættelse!!!
acid touch, menneske udryddelse.

Der løber blod gennem mine plastik årer
det gør min cement facade stronger
her står jeg, stærk og stor, kold og tom.

Jeg sidder med krydsede ben… tit
Hvis man ser det forfra
Ligner jeg et stort, fedt, grimt, egetræ

Hvis æblet falder fra træet
og rådner, smattet ned
er mor så roden til alt ondt?

De kalder mig Isabella
de siger jeg har et hjerte af guld
de sigermange ting derude.
