I have built a machine
From the scraps of my body
Built it strong built it lean
Built to last for centuries

I grew tired
I grew weak
Watched my skin stop fitting me
Watched my hands freeze up in cold
I grew tired of getting old

I grew tired of blood and bones
Traded cell and bones for stone
Traded oxygen for life
I was scared too scared to die

Time has come
Time has eyes
Staring down in redefine
Sucked it in
Swallowed hard
like the vulture at its lot.
