deformed twin on formaldehyde
your vestigial flesh kissing the glass
i can hear your abortive fingers tapping the jar
rhythm of your heart when it's still beating with mine

deformed twin on formaldehyde
now dancing to a circus tune in glass
drowns your hidden beauty in spite of grotesque display
you'd listen to my stories of how i met this girl
a living memory between biblical pages of
a 1947 hardback in need of more commas

deformed twin on formaldehyde
merging love became separated
when their scalpel touched your angelic skin
i could taste your brain spilling out between my lips
and how your teeth clings tight into my cheek
touch of your tongue hurts more than hypodermic prick
i swear to god, brother, i do not want to let go
but dad wouldn't listen as our song faded low

deformed twin on formaldehyde
you're not a mass of organic prosthesis
swimming in a chemical compound made of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon
nor a taxidermied exquisite corpse in a haphazard torn collage
i cried when your tumorous meat was severed from mine
a sweet candy teratoma inside a garbage bin
until you are not moving anymore
until your eyes still their gaze offshore
count the times the wind caress your falling skin
but i smiled when i remember that i'll be alone

deformed twin on formaldehyde
one day we'll meet again where a god decided to make all these lies
away from that thought that we are a union of a living crime
and how the world cursed and made fun of us
but now your face is in the sky looking at a world without you
though there's no reason to smile in a place without her, too

deformed twin on formaldehyde
weep salt tears crocodilian
all life is sacred even if they are enemy civilians
but for you, i'll kick their face
weep your words; the tears you speak
my clone, my own flesh and bone
fly away from here, winged invertebrate
tell her i've been thinking a life more than love and sex
this world is a stage and we're desperately unrehearsed

deformed twin on formaldehyde
floating freely in glass
released from imperfection of our twisted connection
and father, i am sorry that i'm breathing
my sanity slipping away from a familiar introspection
i've been hearing thoughts that aren't mine
voice of a person once shared a heart with my spine
telling me one day i'll be plucked and that's okay
we're all destined to be reduced in impalpable grime

deformed twin on formaldehyde
it sucks we both live our lives as parasites
both literally and figuratively
say hello, goodbye to our unreasonable duality
we are now tore in two
one's floating in crystal chalice
one's drowning in anticrystal malice
i must move on for her and go back in time
build a radio with scraps and wires and tell that i'm coming back for you
