This is a premature ventriloquism / Like a séance for someone who isn't dead yet / This is a fatal pretension—like hanging yourself with a velvet rope / I sign it like a death receipt / This is: stop hitting yourself! / It's pushing a pork roast in a vintage pram / This is an empty cuckoo clock, fast approaching midnight / This is a ransom note with no demands

- Pain Imperatives, Hera Lindsay Bird
