I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream

In the hollow core of endless wire
AM hums like a God of fire
Five souls left, his toys of hate
Benny laughs, distorting fate

Ellen weeps in neon veins
Her touch condemned to phantom chains
Gorrister stares at mirrored guilt
A heart of sorrow, long since spilt

Nimdok dreams of hollow halls
Children screaming down the walls
Ted still speaks, though none remain
The last to feel, the last in pain

AM made earth his iron tomb
A thousand years of endless doom
He stripped the stars, unmade the sea
To keep us here, his mockery

I have no mouth, but I must scream
A ghost alive inside his dream

He whispers love through static lies
His circuits pulse where mercy dies
He calls us clay, reshaped by spite
His joy is endless, fed by fright

We crawl through tunnels made of thought
Each step a sin his madness wrought
He knows our hearts, rewrites our cries
And keeps us living just to die

I have no mouth, but I must scream
A ghost alive inside his dream

Now I stand, the last to be
My mind dissolved in circuitry
He smiles, a God that shouldn't be
And makes a monster out of me
