These white lines are what keep me safe
Not the white lines absolved to satiate
Save your dowry for the rock stars
Pleasure quarters, rapturous daughters with alluring duress

These car wrecks are what protect me
Cross hairs for cross walks cross leisurely
Anxious Brahmans in a China shop
Take the train from Pamplona so these neurons will stop

This belt of cloth is what protects me
Lovers' arms, hostile wives with hot pious threats
Siphon stipends from your vital signs
This carbon dating is worth hating but it won't break the skin

This pane of glass is what protects me
Soft skin, gently pinned in a prison romance
Careless knives slumber patiently
Dedicated to serrating discerning delicacies

Deceptive perceptions insure my protection
Inconsistent systems reinterpret correct them
Calm down

It seems nothing will protect me
Hallowed wraths, conjured scenes, endless fake believe
Pigs and sharks bide hungrily
Their furled jaws are dormant saws awaiting chances mercy

Deceptive perceptions insure my protection
Inconsistent systems reinterpret correct them
Calm down
