flat of the blade 2018

a series of digitally cut photos
inspired by the massive attack track

I'm not good in a crowd
I've got skills I can't speak of
Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave

Led with your hands tied
Fed to the sandflies
You stumble the dunes
Complain to the moon

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove
Take it
They give it
So rivet for rivet
I will build for my family
a bulletproof room

How does it feel
The weight of the steel?
The weight of the steel
Of the flat of the blade

How does it feel
To kneel at the feet?
To kneel at the feet
Of the choices you made
