The Memory Robot Lyrics

Flashes of stripes, and a witch's sharp cackling

We have no say in our core memories, do we

Day after day, I don't know what is happening

I cannot solve all the tragedies that I see

We're a product of chance

Though we yearn for romance

We look more, easily bore

But we die, and ask why

We're only human, so we make robots

Maybe they'll save us, maybe they'll kill us

What are we doing, outsourcing our thoughts

Maybe it frees us, maybe it hurts us

I am no exception, I'm just as synthetic

Singing a song that may never be heard by man

But behind all these keys, memories eidetic

Inform the words that convey feelings that won't scan

Evolution can't choose

Few will win, most will lost

That witch's spell, could never tell

I would fall, miss the call

We're only human, so we make robots

Maybe they'll save us, maybe they'll kill us

What are we doing, outsourcing our thoughts

Maybe it frees us, maybe it hurts us

We live by our tech, also by our hearts

Maybe that saves us, maybe that hurts us

So we should reflect, consider our arts

Maybe that frees us, maybe that kills us

We can't go back

Unless we go away

We must adapt

And live another day

Pain from growing

Is just the way of it

There's no knowing

What will come of it

We go forward

And hope that it works out

Make ourselves heard

Though we are filled with doubt

Our history

Reminds us that we merge

With enemies

And then we emerge

We're only human, so we make robots

Maybe they'll save us, maybe they'll kill us

What are we doing, outsourcing our thoughts

Maybe it frees us, maybe it hurts us

We live by our tech, also by our hearts

Maybe that saves us, maybe that hurts us

So we should reflect, consider our arts

Maybe that frees us, maybe that kills us
