Distorted And Twisted To Form

(album: Worming - 2021)

Life made to imitate art
Disfigured features re-sected upon being torn apart
My cubist rhinoplasty has left you defaced
Any semblance of dignity erased and replaced

The face of death staring at you is only your own
Distorted and twisted to form
The medium of meat, tendon, sinew and bone
Distorted and twisted to form

Eye sockets rerouted, now to rewire your shattered jaw
Aesthetic mutilation leaves facial tissue red raw
Gouged, cleft and hacked, now you're drastically deformed
Through your grisly countenance, as an objet d'art you are reborn

The face of death staring at you is only your own
Distorted and twisted to form
The medium of meat, tendon, sinew and bone
Distorted and twisted to form

Sightless eyes, gaze vacantly
At the monstrous face in the reflection
Chiaroscuro realized, obscure art
Incarnated through unnatural selection

Disintegrating death masque
Leering features rearranged disgustingly askew
The work of a hack, your visage gleams
With the moist sheen of sanguine and sinew

The face of death staring at you is only your own
Distorted and twisted to form
The medium of meat, tendon, sinew and bone
Distorted and twisted to form
