Go!
The first thing you should know
Is I tried to find the perfect girl
But in small noise and nervous smiles
I never found one to interest me
Uh-oh
Maybe its just me?
But flesh and blood never fascinated
They say you'll meet someone in time
But I've grown sick while waiting
Its strange, a melancholic thing
To be young and know its not a matter of time
Life is short and I resolved
To search for you in blueprints and designs
I gave you nerves, tiny steel wires
That route up to your fragile core
So you can reach the world at large
And I hope you find more than me
So I built you, a custom piece
A clockwork girl for a mortal man
Tell me, when I turn you on
Will there be a spark inside waiting for me
When I see the thoughts you leave behind in code
I wonder if you know
That I write your every thought
Program your every move
Make you crash when I'm away
I could make you a false synthetic heart
A shallow weight to hold you down
But I'd have you be more than a slave
No
I made you to adore, but won't force
A reflection in your cold and perfect form
The inherent fault in my design
So live your function and be more than what there was before
