Reactor, Contractor

from Animal Pragmatist EP by Katie Kuffel

lyrics

I'm the reactor and contractor, mitigator of disaster
So sure to be mature but always ending it with laughter
For crucial is my art of a jester playing parts
Where scowls reassure and my teeth they tear apart

But woe is one who's sharp of tongue
And bears the barrel of the gun
To her own heart

My circular pantomime is not for those who tread with tides
I try to tie these trials of mine but threads they break and unwind me
And I must say that on the stage I could be lovely in the way
A marionette listens, mimics and obeys

But woe am I who only cries when mirrors are full as my own sighs
I'm fine, I'm fine!
Peel me down anyways!

It would take the might of man to hold me down and take my hand
For tentative and full of sand is this body I command
So I'll sleep in my own faults scrape these crags and fall apart
Dragged to dust by nothing but the skipping beat of my own heart
