"had to to turn, lay down,
your sting of disease.
phase you out, should've seen this coming.
go on confusing the soul,
hold my breath 'til you rupture."

i figured i would include a small explaination to this piece, so it wouldn't be misinterpreted or just be seen as "another gorey, gothic piece." in fact, it should have a deep, significant meaning to anyone who views it. the easiest way for me to convey it in words is by the breakdown of the word "heart." in japanese there are two different words for heart: shinzou (a medical term for the physical heart) and kokoro (the emotional heart/soul). in english, there is no differentiation of the two uses of heart. with that said...

what makes a man? a soul. the soul is housed in the heart, while at the same time the heart performs its duties for the body and keeps us alive. so, in a sense man needs both the "shinzou" and "kokoro" to survive. without the soul/emotional heart, man is just a hollow shell that does not feel, or refuses to. in the moment of pure pain and suffering, u cannot deny the thought of removing the heart to silence ur "kokoro"......

CAUTION: THIS PIECE IS GRAPHIC (so don't complain about it, it is ur choice to view it).
