It eats you alive
Stealing your soul and thoughts
You don't know it's there
You don't even notice

It starts on your skin
It peels off
You bleed and want to know what's happening to you
It begins to fall off in chunks

Something shines through
Something cold and metal
You touch it and it hurts
You scream in agony

As the rotting flesh falls
You expect white bone
But there is nothing there but this metal
Everywhere, it gleams through the blood

You collapse to the ground
Nothing left but this metal
You can see, though
Why? What are you?

You are nothing but a doll
Constructed of flesh, blood, and steel
You are controlled by someone else's desire
You are but a plaything

You move what's left of you
The rust and blood invade your body
You watch for the last time, your fingers move

You want to cry
You are not human
You are a doll, a puppet
You feel the lump in what's left of your throat
But no tears come

You touch the flesh
The blood pools around you
The anger wells up
And you cry out

Your metal skeleton, your human thoughs
Merge together to form you
But your thoughts have been devoured
As your soul has

Your metal body falls
Clank to the floor
You body aches
And you die

You were nothing but a doll
Nothing but a puppet
A plaything in someone's eyes
Now you've fallen
You've lost the innocence

It happens to everyone
