I couldn't say my name at first, strapped to tables
chains and cages
enraged but i was faded
after three hundred years in a hellish den
i was an experiment
a child of a bitter man
torso alight – colour green
and shining
i strain to see anything
my chest light is blinding
a product of a mutilated genome
body as an open source code
my brain the commode
i unload a white babysac of chlorophyll
overspill into an iron grille
my own cess fill
in this hell i'm a tool they use me and my shell
because it powers the cells
in which the powerless dwell
the daily integration means you never ever fear them
rusty wires slice temples, injecting serums
blue-light sentry haunts me in the night
with they laser lights
body remain in sight
but i have a second mind i hide, i'm warped too much
this they never can know, scientists with their gene codes
can't know the sick rainbow in my
dayglo eyes
wardens touch my shackles and philosophise
i set afire
in the maddening dark, i grow a claw and find my tongue
twist sideways and make myself a lung
i self-detonate with mutant stamina
my brain ascends from a broken canister
the circus_animal has had enough
on a podium of burnt steel dripping in brine
i'm cut free, roar my name for the first time.
forever online, my spirit is a hunchback
hate my old cell but i always come back
to attack, drag science in by its pink hi-liter hand
here's an olive leaf man
do you like clones?
hey! you're the whitecoat
sprayed DDT in my throat, now it glows!
yeah i grew another voicebox back
i can do that
now steady while i sew an ovisac
in your back
evolution's a must after all, once a man now a toy
and no it isn't just you
i produced too... once
but then you made me production
victim of human lusting
i’m free in the cosmos and all is bliss
galactic corporates
i made subordinate
your planet is a desert now, your children slaves
i just reflected fate
coz things are much the same
i got your rusty scalpel and YOU say MY name
here, have a mouth, you can say it again and again
you can act like me, and can do what i've done
when my black shell rises like a white hot sun
an inert universe, you go down in a technicolour sea
but if the crowd allows you can pirouette freely
the clock is ticking slower
coz man just made a clone
but watch it grow teeth
it would like to be alone
i sleep daytimes, approach in the night
armageddon bazoo and you made me, so watch as i rise!
