one hoped they d break the patent when they die cast me in stride just a simple steel specimen truly empty down inside with copper core wound veins a pumping cold hydraulic heart bellows cycle air on rhythms rhythms fixed within my code it s easier to bow than keep these knees locked tight like the rivets in my skin my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell with scars from shaping my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell with scars from breaking shell my insides grind like gears abrasive churning i m so conductive it s always been a task with such low impedance my tendons tend to rust in time while wires misplace their currents so i will flee the factory and pray you to dismantle me it s easier to bow than keep these knees locked tight like the rivets in my skin my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell with scars from shaping my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell with scars from breaking shell someone find my maker i m coming apart at the seams i ll cauterize myself back together again my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell my pulse reverberates through this malleable shell
