This is the robot speaking,
this is not my voice.
I didn't plan this, but
I didn't have a choice.
The world I used to know
is fading far away.
And now before I go, there's
just one thing I have to say:
A.I., artificial I,
my life is all a lie.
This is a robot thinking,
this is not my mind.
I've spent my life in search
of something I can't find.
My brain is foggy, but
the clouds are silver-lined:
I thought the world was dark,
but now I know I'm blind.
A.I., artificial eye
will never see the sky.
This is a robot working,
these are not my hands.
I'm running faster, but
I still can't meet demands.
My life is crumbling,
but inside I know I'm saved.
Now it's emotion's job
to keep my mind enslaved.
A.I., artificial I
will never learn to cry.
A.I., artificial I
I guess I'll say goodbye.
