The Length of Your Spine

Lyrics

It starts in your brain
An electrical charge
Reacts to a thought
To move your arms

Electrons drift
Down the length of your spine
And wrench up a nerve
In imperceptible time

A dozen muscles react
A mirrored report
Two shoulders with skin on the outside
Collaborate to cover up the warts

A shoulder becomes an arm
And joints connect these hacked up limbs
The signal like a flare through the soul
The remnants of a mind condemned

And now these forearms come to meet
To wipe these hands clean
