Turning screws
That twist with a croak
A hammer in square nails
Boots echo down the stone staircase
Tall machines made of brass
Perfectly greased gears twist against
Bright red tune of strings
Twist tunnels in the black of my mind
Underground trees
Billiard ***** tap in the next room
Where men hunt weak women
With long black teeth
Collars stained red blood
Go to sleep in my family name
Someone taps nails
In my coffin

Twist tunnels in the black of my mind

Where men hunt weak women
With long black teeth
Collars stained red blood
Go to sleep in my family name
Someone taps nails
In my coffin
