Brink

The Automaton
Shackled
In the manacles of habit
Suspended
In the residue of predicament
Hypnotized
By the roadside scenery
Along the way to this moment

One-two
One-two
One-two

Three

The Homunculus
Lashing
Its flagellum angrily
Trapped
Beneath the translucent grime
Scheming
Its imminent escape
To a better place, a happier time

Heave-ho
Heave-ho
Heave-ho

Free
