​Pitchability
In a spiral I feel in more control
Tight to the palm; fingers in my pores
Take me home safe
Fortunately, I’m honored to be around
Object of the room; object of your affection
Familiar of your stroke
Let’s hold this dance for 100
Break into my bones; extract my identity
The truth lives on my skin
I’m wrapped in aged clothes and stitch
Designed to cut; constructed to buck
A cutting ride into the wind
Hero, hold me in your hand
Beautiful promises; beautiful life
Make me the very best
Impressed by your length
Deep into spin; deep across my bow
My acromegalic hunger
Need not be gentle, Hero
Throw me downhill; throw me down
I can handle the impact
An index finger around my lips
Thumb under my chin; thumb holding firm
A puppet for your fantasies
Start the show with a familiar touch
Control my movements; command my actions
Put me in the position you require
Hero, release me high and mighty
God of my action; God of my angle
On a plane to a better place
Bury me in a leather womb
Keep out the light; close out the escape
Secure me in the zone of your desire
Alone for only a few
Return me to your touch; grab me once again
Hero, take me back into your palm
Mix up the connection we share
Make me twist; contort my body
Flip me into the honest oblivion
Stick three into my right-side
Circle on my underneath; circle of amendment
Keep your hand on top of me when you finish
Thrust me towards the goal
Stroke of velocity; grip of delicacy
A deception to change the mood
Keep my bones safe from harm
Avoid the trees; Hero, avoid the trees
Their splinters scar my skeleton
Clean me with your touch
Alone in our moment; in love with our bond
Engagement of flesh to flesh
Do you want to watch me dance?
I move just for you; strip just for you
Design my movements
Hero, take me in your hand
I am your ball; I am your belief
Hero, throw me into history
