Is this a dream
Is this the static in my brain
I can't see a thing but I know I'm wide awake
The wires spilling out of me connected to machines
Keeping my blood circulating
Generating new proteins
Is this what dying feels like
Or am I just now being born
The skin around me feels new
But I look down and it is torn
There's a warning sounding through my head
But I cannot move
I'm petrified, too tongue tied to break out of this room
There's no shackles on my limbs
But I am frozen in my tracks
I'm subject to their whim
Because my body's been hijacked
But I'm afraid anymore
In fact I'm at peace
And for the first time in my life
My breathing is at ease
The lights piercing from above radiate my body
My vision is still blurred but I can finally see
They've tightened my loose ends and adjusted my psyche
I am no longer one person, I am no longer just me
I am re-animated
I am re-animated
I am a new creation, one that is more calculated
Educated, simulated, orchestrative, innovative
Something you won't defeat, but nothing to be afraid of
The wires spilling out of me connected to machines
Are simply just a new addition to my anatomy
The wires spilling out of me connected to machines
Are simply just a new addition to my anatomy
The wires spilling out of me connected to machines
Are simply just a new addition to my anatomy
The wires spilling out of me connected to machines
Are simply just a new addition to my anatomy
I am no longer ashamed, no longer in pain
Now that I am changed I have the capability to do anything
I hear a snap and just like that
The world goes black and I awaken from my sleep
