Tin man
The mechanical sun shone towards my soul
Illuminating my tin hole
Left in place of my rotting heart
When my body fell apart
My limbs were pruned, and in place
Was the skin drawn from my face
Limbless serpent commit; unwind
In my boneless, clear view mind
Encased in grey
My thoughts, array
No room to writhe
I cannot thrive
This covering has smothered me
No company to comfort thee
I fall to my knees, spiritually
So hard to please; no one’s here for me
I stand up straight
Lost in this place
With a hollowness worn upon my face
The machine is slowly suffering
Feed the dying beast
The guise of the demons
Provoke a feral feast
Remove the shell of mortal
Shed his lucid skin
Mold his rabid skull
And lace his soul in tin
Illuminating my tin hole
Left in place of my rotting heart
When my body fell apart
My limbs were pruned, and in place
Was the skin drawn from my face
Limbless serpent commit; unwind
In my boneless, clear view mind
Encased in grey
My thoughts, array
No room to writhe
I cannot thrive
This covering has smothered me
No company to comfort thee
I fall to my knees, spiritually
So hard to please; no one’s here for me
I stand up straight
Lost in this place
With a hollowness worn upon my face
The machine is slowly suffering
Feed the dying beast
The guise of the demons
Provoke a feral feast
Remove the shell of mortal
Shed his lucid skin
Mold his rabid skull
And lace his soul in tin
