Pearls Before Swine

It's all wrong
They're all wrong
I'll make it better
I'll make it perfect
Bleed out
Deformities
Broken figures crave redemption
An insult to creation
Inadequate
Imperfection under the knife
Fixing the limitations
The serpent in the garden
Detested soothsayer
The flock has lost their way
Dejected reprobates
Every single flaw
Saved by the scalpel
Rebirth through the glory of sacrifice
Born again from the ashes of failure
Remade, reformed, restored
In the eyes of God
Rebuilt to serve the swine
Is this not perfection
Are you not remade in my image
Rewritten genesis to give birth to my creation
A new eden
A new Adam
A new god (Worship me my children)
Manufactured grandeur cut from skin and bone
Exalt the meat and gristle
Fabricated merit sliced from veins and flesh
All hail the masterpiece
Bleed out
Blood and bile
Paint for my canvas
Gore and sinew
Construct my vision now
Reclamation through exsanguination
A painful pittance
Define my design
Why can't you see
You're meant to be
More than your flaws
Transcend your cause
A paragon through strife
Traumatized
Tormented
A martyr suffering
Bloodletting
Misery
I watched the lights go out
I watched the eyes glaze over
I watched the skin turn blue
I watched you fade away
Into nil
Retribution through excrutiation
The payment for transcendence
Crushed to be remolded
Torn down for resurgence
Rebirth through the glory of sacrifice
Born again through the ashes of failure
Is this not perfection (perf
Are you not remade in my image
Cutting to mend
Ripping to fix deficiencies
Exquisite butchery
Are you not perfect
Corrected and rectified
Are you not flawless
You ingrates
Now tell me
Now tell me
Why can't you see
You're meant to be
More than your flaws
Transcend your cause
My canvas perfected
Hail the swine
