lyrics

Verse 1

They told me sleep is the cousin of death so I never sleep
do androids dream of electric sheep?
in the present weep for the altered carbon cause it burns like the
desert heat peep the message deep
are you in love witcha humanoid girlfriend cause her essence sweet
and her batteries never leak
yet recharge em every week like mecha peak
and if she ever acts up you just press delete
this is now the world that we living in
synthetic citizen catch em next month with a different skin
dark millenium neuromancer
tell me what does it mean to be human whats the purest answer
the goals not to cure the anger but how to merge the organic
with the robotic without causing panic
the source demanded that we seeking order
whos the deepest author? no question im an ether walker

Hook
what does it mean to be human?
is it the ability to see beyond illusion?
do we need machines to weave through the confusion?
or are we just animals aware of what we're doing?
x2

Verse 2

for many years i've been proving that the hand upon me
can program calmly with substance like a scanner darkly
exoskeletal skins replace abercrombie
artificial limbs like a mechanical zombie
and while corporate conglomerates seeking power
in each hour they're observing from a gleaming tower
you're feeling sour from cold war uncertainties
military superpowers and their service fees
a twenty four hour media cycle
claim the feed is vital celebrities become the recent idol
who needs survival when life becomes a viral race
and the last frontier becomes cyberspace
a super hyper pace sensory overload
an information superhighway yet a lonely road
a controller node and a quick method
I'm retiring replicants like Rick Deckard

Hook
what does it mean to be human?
is it the ability to see beyond illusion?
do we need machines to weave through the confusion?
or are we just animals aware of what we're doing?
x2
