My memories are a lie that they forged in a lab

Coded into my brain

I think I might be going insane

Cause my arms and my legs are synthetic

With servos and wires in between

And I wish I could learn how to dream

But I’m just a machine

Everywhere that I go, there’s a shadow

A specter from another world

The ghost of human connection

The voice of departed girl

And the shifting of gears in my body

Recount all the pain I don’t feel

How the hell can I tell what’s real

Waking as an android

I’ve been destroyed

And rebuilt again

I think, but I don’t know

And my thoughts go

Every now and then

Working as an android

I’ve been employed

To replace a man

I need, but I don’t want

And I know, but

I don’t think I can

They told me sentience was a gift to treasure

Acquired by no fault of mine

But my joints are from an assembly line

Was it God or man that brought me to life here

And promptly left my soul to die

I can’t help but wonder why

Waking as an android

I’ve been destroyed

And rebuilt again

I think, but I don’t know

And my thoughts go

Every now and then

Working as an android

I’ve been employed

To replace a man

I think, but I don’t want

And I know, but

I don’t think I can
