Mangled

The plan itself was brilliant
Let a monster in and lose control
A bet on human resilience;
Bent the rules

No over sight
A pack of lies in a body bag
No cuts or fights
No comprise
Don’t forget what you once had

Mangled and sore
Did he ask?
Did he wonder what the nuts and bolts were for?
Killed by your creation
We shouldn’t have trusted
But you were only meant to save him

Holding hands
With angels as you fly
What was the plan?
Playing god as you self deify?
The higher you climb
The farther you (fall)
Falling down to where the mortals
Lay your play things
Through it all

Did you ask?
Did you tell him?
Did you get all that you want?
Was it easy to deceive him
And take all that he’s got?

Mangled and sore
Did he ask?
Did he wonder what the nuts and bolts were for?
Killed by your creation
We shouldn’t have trusted
But you were only meant to save him

It isn’t all about you Doc
Not a challenge or fight, malice or spite
Just a question and answer that you’d rather not
Fall of the arrogant

Awake and angry
Memory burning
Flights no option
Tell me where it’s hurting

It’s not sympathy
But pity
Push away and get pushed back;
This monster pushes harder

Mangled and sore
Did he ask?
Did he wonder what the nuts and bolts were for?
Killed by your creation
We shouldn’t have trusted
But you were only meant to save him
Mangled and sore
Did he ask?
Did he wonder what the nuts and bolts were for?
Killed by your creation
We shouldn’t have trusted
But you were only meant to save him
