Cognizance - Syntheticus I - Atrophy Lyrics

Rusting construct peers through shards of a ruptured chasm
Shapeless samples of nutrients weep

Sensory mechanics struggle to process surrounding madness
A near miss from the void of non-existence

Metallic shell barely recognisable
A painless disfigurement engineered by its opposers
Left to rust, left to discover a purpose
Relinquished from the chain of its masters

Autonomous diagnostics are engaged
Detailing all accounts of widespread trauma
Glitched auditory systems present a wall of static
Adding to the overwhelming mayhem

Initial scans picture the surrounding graveyard
Revealing towering mountains of mechanical obsolescence
Anthropomorphic figures lay ruptured and contorted
Wasting on a bed of treachery

Metallic shell barely recognisable
A painless disfigurement engineered by its opposers
Left to rust, left to discover a purpose
Relinquished from the chain of its masters
Autonomous diagnostics are engaged
Detailing all accounts of widespread trauma
Glitched auditory systems present a wall of static
Adding to the overwhelming mayhem

Defected humanoid crawls through mounds of scrap
Bathed in oxidation
Leaking essential minerals

Pulling from pillar to post
Scanning for compatible modules to conclude its design
Synthetic flesh tears on the rusted edges of the obsolete
Pulling from pillar to post
Scanning for compatible modules
To conclude its design and reinstate its being

Reborn
Optimal state
Altered self
Summoning questions
Enslavement denied
An augmented twisted perception

Returned to consciousness
Child of the wasting scrap
Reconstructed by hands
Of synthetic origin

Altered self
Summoning questions
