Prosthetic Collective from The Inception by Diathesis

Prosthetic Collective

Born into decay
From the beginning we are all slaves
A doomed feeble design
To fall down crippled by time

The skin that holds the flesh to our brittle bones
We stretch and tear and buckle before we know
We may look indestructible on the outside
As our arteries are rotting from the inside.

Able now to cheat death
We cut open our flesh
Insert another life
With new valves on our hearts
And mechanical lungs
The blood forever flows
We disregard faulty limbs
And rewire everything
The old is good to go

As we breathe by machine
We bid farewell to the flesh we are in

The skin that holds the flesh to our brittle bones
We stretch and tear and buckle before we know
We may look indestructible on the outside
As our arteries are rotting from the inside

By misadventure or for pleasure
We resculpt ourselves – idealize

Synthetic skin
Biomechanical
Prosthetic limbs
Synthetic skin
Biomechanical
Prosthetic limbs
