Dr. Frankenstein
Two parts monster, one part man
On two thirds ocean, one part sand
A decaying foot, a rotting hand
One part monster, two parts man.
It seems I've written this before
But I shall write the same once more
I only live through things that kill
Only charge when it's up a hill
How can I make you understand
Three parts monster, no parts man,
I never bothered asking should
Jumping straight to did from could
What I've wrought, it shouldn't be
What I've seen, I shouldn't see
One part monster, two parts man
How can it be that, when all I am
Is two parts monster, one part man?
How can I be more than I am
If three parts monster, there's no man.
With a bit of electricity
A dash of eccentricity
Sprinkled ingenuity
I made from scraps a mutiny
Against the human parts of me
Against the sparked divinity
That slept within my breast
What if the monster is my best?
Instead of why I wondered can
Became more a monster, less a man
Can I ever flip it back again
For the monster's free, you understand
Yes, the monster, it's alive!
