Lyrics

Assembled from dead incompatible pieces;
Livid fragments regenerated
Decomposing bits of organic matter
Brought to life
Revived
A fluid
Limbless
Sickening shape
A faltering semi-floating cluster
Its sole purpose of creation;
To burst the imagination blood surge

Defying the mould of human flesh
Smashing the wall of beliefs
A sight to bring insanity to all dimensional reality

Carved from thoughts unthought into a graphic
Visible delusion of life
A twisted display of dehumanized features
By cells reflected, refracted
A frantic dancing of particles
In pathetic attempt at rendering flesh;
Swirling to project the illusion of shape
Form, dimension and mass

(Eyes not made for watching
Thousand watt obsidian bulbs;
Reflective, obversed
The only view is the barren self)

A walking translucent entity
Void, suspended
Inviolate by rules
All standards of existence
An electrified vapor-cloud
A skein of bone and tissue
An atrocity
A liquid form unshaped to the organic norm

A mind not filled with thoughts
But a random flickering static
A soulless creature un-alive;
I'm the un-human elastic
