Lifeless Body

Is it dead or broken?
Two batteries, new...
I'm holding a lifeless body
I want... I need this to end
Mom's gift was never for me
This knot will take time to untie
Unless... I untie him myself.
I know I have the strength
But strength is useless when the will is lacking
Why bother when there's the hourglass
Everything is better with this new toy
And this time, I found exactly what I wanted so badly.
LEDs, movement and lullaby.
