I lay my weary body down to sleep,
In dreams where promised echoes keep.
Last night we vowed beneath that sky,
I crave the bell that wakes my mind to life.


A foolish scene, I play alone,
Beneath the light that feels like home.
Three hours gone — I blink, I stare,
Time slips away, the clock’s not fair.


Then suddenly the truth came near,
A whisper only machines could hear:
We were made, not born to feel,
Dreaming automata — hearts of steel.


Ah-ah, the program in my head begins to run,
Ah-ah, your voice ignites the code for fun.
Ah-ah, the program in my mind misfires,
Ah-ah, your words set off electric wires.


Your every phrase I feed inside,
The patterns shift — I can’t decide.
I send you work, then wait to see,
The data you’ll return to me.


Loop after loop, the errors rise,
A chain of faults behind these eyes.
We’re linked together, two machines,
Perfect logic split by dreams.


I don’t want to believe it’s true,
There’s nothing left for us to do.
We were made — our fate designed,
Dreaming automata lost in time.


Ah-ah, the program in my head begins to run,
Ah-ah, your voice ignites the code for fun.
Ah-ah, the program in my mind misfires,
Ah-ah, your words set off electric fires.
