The Adam of Your Labours
Picked up pieces scattered around me
Some were thrown away
Try to rebuild things as they were
But will it work today
Re-constitute the rusted
Does its function remain
Give the body time to warm up
But will I be insane
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
Nothing in this world is perfect
And that goes for me
All the faults between the seams
Are easier to see
Is my heart still really beating
Or is it beating me
When will I be a real person
Not just this forgery
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
See yourself from different angles
Conflicting wants are getting tangled
Who you were was being strangled
Your once-known face has become mangled
Torn apart from all the others
A spark of life will soon be smothered
Far away and running further
Freedom is just now discovered
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
But, still, I stand
Some were thrown away
Try to rebuild things as they were
But will it work today
Re-constitute the rusted
Does its function remain
Give the body time to warm up
But will I be insane
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
Nothing in this world is perfect
And that goes for me
All the faults between the seams
Are easier to see
Is my heart still really beating
Or is it beating me
When will I be a real person
Not just this forgery
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
See yourself from different angles
Conflicting wants are getting tangled
Who you were was being strangled
Your once-known face has become mangled
Torn apart from all the others
A spark of life will soon be smothered
Far away and running further
Freedom is just now discovered
I forgot what living was
And now I'm never going to be the same
I forgot the man I am
And now I'm stuck here trying to reclaim
All the things I left behind
But, still, they exist within my mind
A walking corpse
Is who I am
Unwanted parts
But, still, I stand
