Nerves

Nerve ends tick in flicker book animation

One eye's closed in fear, anticipation

Will it stay shut? Will it ever open?

What if, what if? NervesTell tale tongues lick at seven senses

Brittle spittle sparks, you are defenseless

The fabric of dreams is ripped apart

As you feel the twist of the shadowed dagger

In your pumping heart, nervesNerves like nylon, nerves like steel

Nerves like nylon, nerves like steel, steelA trail of random cutlery

Cuts a dash in the concrete underpass

Sense of serenity is shattered

In the glint of splintered glassNerves, nerves, nerves, nerves

Nerves like nylon, nerves like steel

Nerves like nylon, nerves like steel

Nerves like nylon, nerves like steelNerves like nylon, nerves like steel, steel
