lyrics

A line appears, separation in your mind
This frustration, perceived inadequate
An all-consuming feeling
The urge to transform your flesh

Soliciting this surgery
It’s your life, it’s your death warrant you’re signing
Disfiguring identity
It’s your life, your life along the dotted line

The line hardens, plasticized in mind
Want to escape the confines of your skin
You choose the synthesized existence
Beg them to change who you were
The dotted lines, etched on skin
Boundary between human and product
Masked men will flash their knives
Scalpel blade erasing identity

Soliciting this surgery
It’s your life, it’s your death warrant you’re signing
Disfiguring identity
It’s your life, your life along the dotted line

Once you incise along the dotted line
You are cut off from humanity

Lying altered in the recovery room
The dotted line has disappeared
Family don’t know this twisted form
Crossed over from person to abomination
Lying altered in the recovery room
The dotted line has disappeared
Family don’t know this twisted form
Crossed over from person to abomination

What on earth did you hope to become?
A god, ascendant over the throne?
But that messianic gleam of your new flesh
Bears the synthetic sheen of botched nature

Once you incise along the dotted line
Maybe you are cut off from humanity
