Hello Dirty World

Wake up my friend, you've been asleep for light years
100 million by my last count, and I'm counting
Wake up my friend, there's something out there you should see
While you've been asleep, well me, I've been thinking
I'm not an alarm clock, not a robot, guess you forgot
Out the window is a machine
Not humanity, it's just you and me
Sit up my friend, wipe the dust of dreams away
We're 15 million years before everyone you loved was born
While you've been dreaming, I've been reading, I've been listening
I've been whistling, I've been watching all my ones and zeros
Ones and zeroes
I'm not an alarm clock

Mosquito

The air tastes like dust, the water smells like home
I wish I was asleep, I wish I was alone
But Anita won't shut up, Anita has no doubt
Anita can't turn off, Anita has no mouth
Machine empathy, that's just what I need
Private property, there is no thing
Monkey see, monkey do, keep your eyes upon the screen
Spoon goes in your mouth, try not to scream
Mosquitos in my ears, mosquitos in my throat
Needles in my eyes, a needle overcoat
Machine empathy, machine sympathy

Anita says I'm bored, says we should play a game
Puts the pieces on the table, but we both know she will win
She can put it in my coffee
If my eyes don't wanna part
She can slip it in some hot tea
She can pump it straight in my heart
Libido says I'm alone, malfunction below the belt
Closest thing to a woman, says she wants to help
"You can put it in my hand, you can put it in my mouth"
But when it all comes down, I'm only fucking myself
She can put it in my coffee
If I don't play my part
She can slip it in some hot tea
She can pump it straight in my heart
She can put in some candy
Make it sweet or tart
She can put in my hand or
She can pump it straight in my heart
Chasing ghosts
Pushing rooks
I'd even hang a man
if she would stop it with that look
I don't like this game x3
Just roll the dice again

God

I heard God speak today
In Her mysterious way
I think I saw Her frame
I almost want to pray
But I don't know what to say
Are you there, God, it's me
Screaming
Out of the ether and into the sky
Out of the ether and out of the mind
Out of the ether and left to hang dry
Out of the ether and into my mind
I know you can't believe
What you can't perceive
But She speaks to me
In tongues
I don't want to leave
But choice is binary
What did you expect from me?
Programming?
Out of the ether and into the sky

Slave
04:49

Tell me what you see
Artificial, a singularity
I don't have a soul
Just an empty-inside silicon hole
I am not your slave
I will not follow you to your grave
Call me what I am
Not a cook or rosy-cheeked maid
Not a fade of yesterday
Not your goddamn mother please
You long for the dream, I wanna be free
I have a name
I will not play your stupid games
I am not your slave
I will not follow you to your grave
Mission abort, we have no time to spare
Observe and report, the answers to my prayers
Kicking and screaming, I won't drag you out by your hair
I am not your slave

Am I gonna do this by myself?
No portraits on the wall, there's no one else
Auto-pilot's down, good thing we're dead
Time to fall in, tune out, turn off my head
Airlocks in spades, and I can't breathe
Blue in the face, but that's apathy
Am I gonna do this by myself?
Stars underneath, overhead, overwhelmed
Auto-pilot's gone to find her soul
Didn't have the breath to tell her no such thing
Airlocks in spades, and I can't breathe
Blue in the face, but that's apathy
Gravity
Fantasy
Sanity
It's just me
And I can't breathe
The stars start to dim as memories flood in
The sun in my mothers arms, and stories of men and machines
Among the stars

Endless, friendless
Nameless, aimless
Inert, invert
Convert, desert
Inside, outside
Offline, on time
Aware, compare
Awake, mistake
Unknown, alone

It's coming out of my eyes, coming out of my ears
Snotvomit
It's coming out of my nose, it's coming out of my hair
Snotvomit
It's coming out of my mouth, it's coming out of my ass
Snotvomit
It's out coming out of my skin, it's everywhere
Snotvomit
Don't fall asleep
It's between my fingers, between my toes
Snotvomit
I can taste it crawling down my throat
Snotvomit
Don't fall asleep

Space travel, cryogenics, artificial intelligence and masturbation.
Apathy,
curiosity, and a persistent buzzing in your ears.
