lyrics

Helpless sheep pushed to a battlefield
stupid, weak, don't fight for itself
Torn, it despairs and gets slaughtered

But there's comfort
in the warmth of the sun on a cold morning
and in hot water, that sooth the skin

I rape myself

Pressure, then fire
A knife through the skin
Rupture
Then tears of relief

Dolphins swim happily in cool water
and pain is a throbbing memory
but the dolphins are leaving again

Weak machine, afraid for itself
limps from the battlefield
it finds its own kind
to melt the iron
