had a rhyme pair i wanted to use (sincere/engineered), and this is what came from it!

A measured metamorphosis Constructions held so dear The minutes and the hours Must make this so sincere My smile is so sharp But my throat fills up with fear You, you’ll call me flawless Perfection, engineered

An angel made of falsehoods A lie, a dream, a ruse I am half of what I was Is that enough for you

Something hollow about the hand you hold Wires or ligaments, regardless, they’ll pull Bones of rust, blossoms of mold How can you love me if I’m not even whole Machine or a girl I won’t ever know How can you love me if I’m not even whole

My existence consists of starving My fingers have grown thin An extension or a creature She lurks beneath my skin Knives and saws and tweezers To quiet what’s within If I went and saved myself Can this still be called a sin

An angel made of falsehoods A lie, a dream, a ruse I am half of what I was Is that enough for you

Something hollow about the hand you hold Wires or ligaments, regardless, they’ll pull Bones of rust, blossoms of mold How can you love me if I’m not even whole Machine or a girl I won’t ever know How can you love me if I’m not even whole

Build me up and break me down A wrong of no return An endless recreation And I cannot be her Persist, persist I long for sleep A fate that I’d prefer A release from the memory Of the way that things once were

Something hollow about the hand you hold Wires or ligaments, regardless, they’ll pull Bones of rust, blossoms of mold How can you love me if I’m not even whole Machine or a girl I won’t ever know How can you love me if I’m not even whole Something hollow about the hand you hold Machine or a girl I won’t ever know I won’t ever know
