Paroles de Body Without Organs

I have built a machine

from the scraps of my body.

Built it strong. Built it mean.
Built to last for centuries.

I grew tired. I grew weak.

Watched my skin stop fitting me.

Watched my hands freeze up in cold.

I grew tired of getting old.

I grew tired of broken bones.

Traded syllables for stone.

Traded oxygen for life.

I was scared, too scared to die.

Time has claws. Time has eyes,
like the vulture that you are.
