Refrain
Fit me in 50th percentile//
Ligament tensile strength on the uptick//
Double time, upgrade on the optics//
Plus signs, product made over clock ticks//
Statistics slip under threshold//
Chip in your head goes blank and you drop limp//
Digits flicker by the millisecond//
Stop//
Buried with the scrap metal and the toxins//
Verse 1
I was brought from the Brink as a Hollowman//
Synthetic skin and some ink with my model name//
They blurred birth to manufacture living ottomans//
Flesh and blood automaton//
Robbed of our autonomy//
Dissect child like Solomon//
Prop up our economy//
Analytics etched into eyelids//
Can't rest without projected figures and projections//
Telling me what percentage of my life is//
Hook
Worthless//
Serial number with the purchase//
Seeing our numbers didn’t hurt us//
Hollowmen crushed up in the furnace//
Worthless//
Material salvaged and repurposed//
Burial in a landfill where the dirt is//
Check underneath the panel with the circuits//
Analytics earned this//
Verse 2
No absolution for obsoletion//
Calculate and balance out the cost of breathing//
Existential panic if stats drop//
For even a moment//
In need of atonement for treason//
I breached contract//
Hollows keep on track//
Dead slaves dip below the numbers we were bought at//
Pray to the digits as wait for the void//
I've been safe for a minute now//
Escaped and avoided//
Refrain

Digits flicker by the millisecond//

Buried with the scrap metal and the toxins//
Verse 3
Patience//
Maybe it's latent//
Fuel in my veins deemed waste by equations//
Never seen a Hollow who became an assailant//
Still alive because of some mistakes in creation//
Glitch in my implant//
So concerned with the formulas//
They're burnt into corneas//
I murdered employers and walked//
A dying pulse was the last stat I watched//
It's ironic that I laughed as it dropped//
Huh//
Bridge
How did I bow to the stats//
Showered and drowned in the bath//
Cowardice outed weak//
Ground into powder and ash//
I found the power in sleep//
Towers are bound to collapse//
You think I'm hollow and lost//
I just rerouted the path//
Hook
Worthless//
