Heat. Heat.
I woke up stage to the lightning sky. Bolts in my spine, numbers in my eye. Doctor said, "Son, don't ask me why. You're a rough draft. God, you're a test drive lie. Blueprint hard, but it beats
off script. They pay top dollar just to see me glitch. Halfborn myth in a dead end lab science is handled with care. They never have. They don't love me.
They don't hate me. They just poke me with a stick. See what breaks. See way I'm an experiment Frankenstein gr 6 million in grace still
something to spin part monster part marvel part in a natural wind me up laugh loud lose control I'm an experiment push the liver thread not a man not a myth just a game in your head I'm not real I'm a toy Boy, I'm a glitch. You enjoy. I'm just something to
play with. Yeah, boy. Steal in my bones. Sarcasm skin. Crowd wants blood. I give them a grin. They chant my name, then throw their stones.
Build me up just to watch me fold. I was born in comments, raised by eyes, fed on judgment, trained to survive. Every laugh in spite, every hate threat brings me back to
life. Don't ask questions. Just observe. See how much a soul can serve. Till it says till it sees I'm an experiment.
Frankenstein gr 6 million in upgrades. No something to spin. Hard monster part marvel internet troll. Wind me up. Laugh loud. Lose control and experiment. Turn pain into noise. Put me on display for the curious boys. I'm not real. I'm
a toy. I'm a glitch you enjoy. I'm just something to play with. Say it's science. Say it's faith. Say it's content.
Say it's great. You don't see the wire in my throat. You just like the way I choke. But every time you flip that switch, I learn your hands.
I learn your tricks. You didn't make me human. You made me durable.
I'm an experiment, but I'm watching you. Counting every laugh, every dare you do. You think I'm broken. You think I'm tame, but experiments learn the rules of the game. An experiment. Still standing here. Still alive in
smoke and the snare. You can play with the fire. You can call me a toy, but monsters remember who pushed the button, boy.
