Born into a life of suffering scientific prodding now beings  Vestigial extremities a twisted mass of skin    It looks a monster but they swear it's human too  Truth is that it could've been me or you  One simple helix misconstrued  The world of science finds it beautiful  The child is deemed a male  And beneath the glowing lights it's grown    Can it feel human love?  No one would waste a drop on such a thing  Eyeless abomination hideously disheartening    Machines inflate its weakened lungs  Sustained by liquid foods  Pinkish throbbing aberration  Anomalous abortion living on    Monitored observed and when it finally passes  Internal organs will be 'splayed to find what therein lies  Unlock the secrets of the spine  Its mysteries will baffle modern medicine for centuries to come    What god will it plead unto  A life spent on display in microscopic detail  X-ray shows with an intestinal maze  The operating theatre awaits    Can it feel human love?  No one would waste a drop on such a thing  Eyeless abomination hideously disheartening    It looks a monster but they swear it's human too  Truth is that it could've been me or you  One simple helix misconstrued    He would look better floating in a jar  Cataloged and carried our this life of hell comes to an end    Monitored observed and when it finally passes  Internal organs will be 'splayed to find what therein lies  Unlock the secrets of the spine  Its mysteries will baffle modern medicine for centuries to come    His sad existence in the gleam of the waiting scalpel  A sick example a selection most unnatural  Illuminating fortune and fragility  We may never know the meaning of its short and torturous life    these lyrics are submitted by Gabe
