Torn Home, Born.

When she fell, her arm came down
to her hip, to her unharmed waist
when a bruised muscle lingered from its

Over achieving Mars literally uncovered
a deep furrow hit these samples
an aerial operation room but this meant one aircraft

fired two buildings before dawn
dragging timbers, iron frames limp to the Southern Seas

but obviously I'm a realist
Deliver an earth-shattering surprise tonight
As I said, put it in the back of a pickup truck
