Foam Is Not a Limb

V6

[Intro | metal rack scrape | full weight riff | synth bass] [Verse 1 | guttural clear declamation | clipped technical diction] "Lifelike" is not the word for this You've hung a forearm from a hook The thumb can't meet the fingertips Did anybody stop to look? Four stitch marks to an inch of glue A hanging loop to bear the strain Two for the price of one. How shrewd. The load goes where? Explain. Explain. [Pre-Chorus | measured authority | gated snare accents] A shape is not a structure Inspect before you fit [Chorus | commanding shout | layered pitched backing] Foam is NOT a limb Paint is NOT a vein Show me where the load goes Show me what takes the strain Foam is NOT a limb Check the work again [Verse 2 | precise declamation | guitars tightly gated] That deltoid ends above the joint The upper arm is smooth and bare A muscle needs an anchor point You cannot wish a tendon there Opaque plastic. Single shade. The same flat pink from neck to nail "It's Halloween. They're sold that way." Then all of them are built to fail [Pre-Chorus | firmer authority | synth bass doubles the riff] A shape is not a structure Inspect before you fit [Chorus | heavier unison | pitched backing | hard consonants] Foam is NOT a limb Paint is NOT a vein Show me where the load goes Show me what takes the strain Foam is NOT a limb Check the work again [Bridge | breath intake | slow patient speech | synth bass] You are confusing a costume with a reconstruction. [Final Chorus | full weight | one pitched backing entry slightly late] Foam is NOT a limb Paint is NOT a vein Show me where the load goes Show me what takes the strain Foam is NOT a limb Check the work again [Outro | clipped unison verdict | hard stop] Keep the display. Correct the claim. Foam is NOT a limb.
