Dr. Frankenstein's Screwup Cousin

Up from the ground I'm gonna bring it to life
Then I'll shuffle it back to the living
Something is wrong with the variables
It's a body too large for its heart
So maybe I should just accept that I'm an
Inadequate necromancer
Take a new direction, stare at my reflection, rip it apart

Oh honestly this shouldn't affect me so much
It's the last in a long string of failures
The brevity's not the part's that's getting me down
It's the pattern that it represents
Oh maybe I would have more luck if I became
Fundamentally different
Gotta trust the process, sever all your losses, give it a chance

Oh some things are better off dead
And some things are worse when you're pulling on the thread
The data tends to disagree
If only all this science stuff came easily

Technically you could never call it alive
It had only the dimmest cognition
Nevertheless I wrote it off as a loss for the
Time and the body parts spent
It's easy just to take a torch to the lab
Left burned beyond recognition
Gotta trust the process, sever all your losses, that's what I meant

Oh without a heart you're just stumbling
Without a heart you're just a machine

Oh some things are better off dead
And some things are worse when you're pulling on the thread
The data tends to disagree
If only all this science stuff came so easily
