Exercise yard son,
muscles pumped

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:51.210 align:middle line:84%
from millions of repetitions,
epithets, derisions.

00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:54.360 align:middle line:84%
His Trojan soul closed
to all but conquering

00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:57.000 align:middle line:90%
a world he never wanted.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.980 align:middle line:84%

leather harness in place,

00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:06.990 align:middle line:84%

Starve coyote eyes never
exposed to daylight.

00:01:25.770 --> 00:01:30.600 align:middle line:84%
Years in solitary boxed
inside like unrequited love.

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.560 align:middle line:84%
Chains and cement shit-holes
symbols of unbroken

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.080 align:middle line:90%

Well invented shivs exquisite
proof of journeyman status

00:01:59.190 --> 00:02:03.180 align:middle line:84%
earned rep no use
at all outside.

00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:07.440 align:middle line:84%
I give him virgin skin,
closed eyes, old assaults

00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:09.750 align:middle line:90%
like magnets to his new moves.

00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:12.450 align:middle line:90%
Hard blue Earth to stand on.

00:02:12.450 --> 00:02:15.450 align:middle line:84%
