Well, a Soviet secret sleeping deeply in the dirt A rusted iron memory that only knows to hurt Waiting thirty years just to steal her yesterday Until she took a footstep and the earth gave way Now she lying on my table underneath the sterile lights A desperate collision in the middle of the night The tourniquet is twisted, but the tissue is deceased To save the living temple, Lord, we gotta cut the piece So I play the violent carpenter and brace against the bone Lord, brace against the bone A medieval labor in a modern sterile zone In a modern sterile zone The silver teeth are biting, catching on the marrow deep Tearing through the framework while the woman stays asleep Push, Huh Pull, Hah Push, Huh Pull, Hah Grinding through the calcium, the resistance is so full Push, Huh Pull, Hah Well, it takes a heavy shoulder and it takes a steady hand To disconnect a woman from a poisoned piece of land The fine white dust is rising like a chalk into the air Smells of burning friction, copper blood, and singing hair Dismantling the architecture, inch by bloody yard Medicine is painted graceful, but this is physical and hard I disassociate the mind, I focus on the chore A carpenter of human grief upon the surgeon's floor So I play the violent carpenter and brace against the bone Lord, brace against the bone A medieval labor in a modern sterile zone In a modern sterile zone The silver teeth are biting, catching on the marrow deep Tearing through the framework while the woman stays asleep Push, Huh Pull, Hah Push, Huh Pull, Hah Grinding through the calcium, the resistance is so full Push, Huh Pull, Hah You push until the yieldin, you feel the sudden snap The sudden loss of tension, the closing of the trap The sudden give of gravity, the falling of the weight I catch the severed endin' just before it is too late Lord, it's incredibly heavy, the muscle and the skin I drop it in the yellow bag and tie the plastic in She is gonna wake up lighter She is gonna wake up alive But I can still feel the vibration in my hands Push, Huh Pull, Hah Push, Huh Pull, Hah
