Thanatos
Ox.eagle.lion.man.

I went into the garden and I told the soil to stop,nI spoke with as much authority as any human has gotnnBut x cannot change whilst y remains the same,nOh modify me, modify me, make me more than a man,nCut me up and clarify exactly what I amnnmy body is not evolution’s greatest work of art,n5 senses and a carcass with a faintly beating heartnnOh x cannot change whilst y remains the same,nOh modify me, modify me, make me more than a man,nCut me up and clarify exactly what I amnnoh curse me with an arkane ability,nthe courage to face my own mortality,ngive me 17 seconds of supremacy,ngive me insight into anything but this this this this thisnnsometimes its hard to tell apart the blessing from the curse,nthankyou for the gift of manhood I can think of nothing worsennSo x cannot change whilst y remains the same,nOh modify me, modify me, make me more than a man,nCut me up and clarify exactly what I amnni can’t help but think creation’s fallen into the wrong hands,nwhen infinite design provides the woman and the man,nall you broken figureheads of faith watch your ideas bleed,nturn to science for you answers, still find nothing, nothing that you neednnOh modify me, modify me, make me more than a man,nCut me up and clarify exactly what it is I amnmodify me, modify me, make me more than a man,ncut me up and clarify exactly why I’m damned,nto just stand idly by, nlike the caterpillar who refuses to become a butterfly, nI wish that I could even begin to decipher the device ndesigned to manufacture itself, na pre-programmed obsession, nwith birth strength and health, nbut perpetual motion does not stop to ask why nI’ll interpret our memories of dreams, nwhich the more we try to recollect, nthe less that we can see, noh the more I try to picture them the more I feel lost nin these binary schematics of impossible machines, nas we naively try and tell ourselves that nothing’s as it seems, nbut maybe the dillemma is that everything is as it is, nand will be, and of course was before, nwatch the apple decompose from its skin to its core, nand follow its lead back into the soil nthat bore us and nurtured us, was there for us all, nand which we started to neglect, nbut was still there to break our fall, nand there on our hands and our knees we will crawl, nand we scream where is the manuscript nthat will tell us what to do, ndictate our every sentence nand dictate our every move, nlet us pretend this was all part of nthe plan that we knew, nthat we had all along, nbefore things got confused, nand we started to go wrong, nbefore we all lost our way, noh inventor, let there be a way.n
