i try to execute the utterance of thy name
but no sound expels from these marbled lips
ancient mercury was not installed within
so i speaketh no words for you to hear
so you can find me

i follow not the darkness, nor the stars
i am simply an automaton
a clockwork heart
movements barely discernable
silently inside
tick, tock, tick, tock
unless you breathe life into me now
i shall forever remain as stone
darkly dreaming inside
but never a part of your world

beside you as a ghost
unable to touch
