letra de anaemia - victor primavesi

with gloves slipped over my sm-tted fingers, i try to solve the riddle
afraid to touch it, i follow up its contour to the middle
empaled by motionlessness and prevalent dismay
i feel compelled to turn off the lights and their monstrous shadow play

zero and the negative is all i can conceive
i am a piece of maimed chalk turning into a bereaved pile of sorry chalk powder
a vanishing point of horror

the brother i felt was my predecessor won’t return my call
he’s closed his eyes to our shared trail of blood
now i’m hitting the wall
i still have a sister or two out there and maybe another brother whose light always watches over me and helps me rediscover

why zero and the negative is all i can conceive
i am a piece of maimed chalk turning into a bereaved pile of sorry chalk powder
a vanishing point of horror

beware of the vampire l-sting under my skin
for a rush of something
a rush of anything
beware of the vampire who longs for just one thing
to be touched by the faintest form of colouring
beware of the vampire l-sting under my skin
i can’t bear to cast off my garments to reveal the scars i hide
peeled down to my bone marrow, i become the focus of my cynical eye
a mirror to me is an empty frame displaying a travesty
no, i don’t want to see what’s become of me

beside my bed i keep several oaken bullets
i know they’d fail when put to the test
but they ease the brunt i bear of every paper-thin day whose page i turn to no avail
it’s said life is precious in every way, but is it still after a thousand years?

anaemia dictates the tides and waves of life force in my veins
every nightly act of defiance was an uproar choked by silence
my glass isn’t half-full nor is it half-empty
it broke to pieces – maybe that will tempt me to finally admit and realise that vampirism is my demise
