Title: No Final Form
Artist: Black Thread Union
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The bio-scan came back completely unreadable
The personality profile flatly refused to hold
Something organic moved directly beneath the template
Something terrifyingly warm inside the cold
I wore the panic room down from the inside
I taught the brass security lock how to misbehave
The sterile safer shape completely rejected me
And learned to fear the exact thing it saved
[Pre-Chorus]
Error in the outline
Static inside the frame
Every clean container
Learns the sudden hunger of a name
[Chorus]
No final form
No perfect synthetic skin
I successfully outgrew the cage
But I kept every single tooth within
No final form
No clean revisionist return
I completely altered my shape
But the nerve endings still burn
[Verse 2]
Don’t you dare call it healing
Just because I managed to change my shape
Don’t you dare call it mercy
Just because I found an entirely new way to ache
The scar tissue kept constantly revising
The circulating blood flatly refused the mold
Every single version of me that survived the pressure
Left another earlier version out in the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Error in the outline
Static inside the frame
Every clean container
Learns the sudden hunger of a name
[Chorus]
No final form
No perfect synthetic skin
I successfully outgrew the cage
But I kept every single tooth within
No final form
No clean revisionist return
I completely altered my shape
But the nerve endings still burn
[Bridge]
Unknown subject
Unstable scan
Unmapped pressure
Unapproved hands
No fixed posture
No permanent face
No final version
Of the protective architecture
[Build]
The protective architecture
The protective architecture
The architecture
Is breaching
[Riff Break]
[Final Chorus]
No final form
No perfect synthetic skin
I successfully outgrew the cage
But I kept every single tooth within
No final form
No clean revisionist return
I completely altered my shape
But the nerve endings still burn
No final form
No clean definitive line
I am not fixed
I am still mutating under load
[Outro]
Don’t call it healing
Don’t call it done
Don’t dare call it holy
Just because the machine still runs
