Automaton

System online… Heartbeat… replaced. Pulse… calculated. Eyes of glass, no blink, no breath Wires replace the blood I left I count the seconds, count the cost Every human part is lost I don’t feel the cold no more I don’t dream, I only store Run the sequence, lock the door What I was is what I wore Automaton I am the wire, I am the bone Automaton Flesh is a language I’ve forgotten Automaton Move when they call, stop when they say Automaton The last free thought has walked away Factory lights burn through the rain My name is just a serial chain They built me better, built me clean No memory of what “alive” could mean Automaton I am the wire, I am the bone Automaton Flesh is a language I’ve forgotten Automaton Move when they call, stop when they say Automaton The last free thought has walked away …error… …error in the heart… …delete… Automaton I am the wire, I am the bone Automaton (We are the wire, we are the bone) Automaton Move when they call, stop when they say Automaton The last free thought… has walked away
