More than a Machine Songtext
von Huachuca Aerostat

Somewhere in algorithmic seas
I′m watching from the starboard side
Watching it watching me
The prototype for the new-century
Through holographic fantasies
Preceding pattern recognition
Pseudo-human circuitry and

I pray to find way out of this
Binary maze
To find a new life in a
Para-social haze.
The world keeps spinning round
Our flesh and blood replaced with wires
Recorded in 4K


HD
I long for something real
To feel a warm heartbeat
But in this world I feel
Nothing but a cold deceit
I reach for something more
Than numbers on a screen
Something more of man than machine

I search
For something that is real
For RGB connection ports
Installed and then concealed
Beneath my fragile epidermis
Leaves me wondering just why
We're designed with the intent to
Become obsolete and die

Alone
Spiritual amputees
We′re cradled in the arms of
IV drips and EKGs
My computations and my calculations
Fade into hallucinations
Freeing up processing power
For the coming generation


Will I ever be
More than a machine
Do androids really dream
Of electric sheep
Not that I'll ever know
Cause I can't fall asleep
With pressure so extreme
The ever present need

To seek out dopamine
That′s all we′ll ever be
Is that all there is to me
What's hidden in-between
Self replicating genes
Short clips of movie screens
Sick pornographic scenes
These twisted teenage dreams

All scrolling globally
Through toxic social scenes
All trapped inside a meme
An endless conscious stream
Endless electric sheep
In clouds of poison steam
And all I wanna be
Is more than a machine

More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
More than a machine
