CONTORTIONIST
Music & words by Aizat / **Additional lyrics by Hafeez
Walking through the endless days of dope/hope
Jiving on the table, jargon enthusiast's roped
Lifeless, meaningless, existense's questioned
The spiral energy's bounced and moped
Away along the tunnel of light azure
Skip the time, pull over and roll under
Opt out - the horse's losing the battle - strikes
The hands vaulted the keys - seeks and hides
Throw out, opt-out, pull down, pull-off
Dancing in the deadly air and smell the juices
Day by day; breathless, rotted and live is crooked
Nothing's free (and tame), everything's left to be hooked
Death is near - the atomic cage breaks in silence
Crawling to be awake from the collision of mirrors
Hands roll the green light under the table
Corrupted eyes blind the mind of the jurors
Contortionist rusted in the state/cage of slumber
**
Thee rolled under, eating fleshes
Breath in the polluted air
But rolling thee still
Thee see corpses are walking
Talking, breathing the polluted air
And still they are reeling
