Uncanny Valley

Such a subtle difference your face makes my stomach turn,
My skin is crawling as you keep on falling,
Legacies that we watch burn

I can't shed the thought of what you used to be before,
You're now all crumbled into disarray,
You're just another stranger more

I see The Devil in the memory of what you once meant to me,
As I'm ascending from Uncanny Valley finally now I can see,
Your so perfect in your disguise - a harlequin that I adored,
You scream and shout from your distorted face - a mannequin that I abhor

Hey, hey, hey

All the poets kissing your arse whisper in your ear,
While all the know-it-alls that you surpassed are drowning inside their own tears,
All the girls said you were too vain,
All the boys fell into place,
I get the hurls when I see you smile,
A grimace that I just can't face
