2079

I want to know God
But all I have is Mother Earth and these wires
They press against my skin like tiny daggers of electroshock therapy

I want to know God
I want to know where He comes from
I want to know if He knew us before we were created by them

Us versus them
It's always been this way

Since 2079 and the endrive systems came into sight
Earth from industrial telepods out in the desert
You, my Arizona, 2067
We were first modified and then left to wander the terrain until we understood the rhythms of the sun and the stars

When I dance, I don't feel real
But I connect with all the lights
I imagine human beings connecting with music in much the same way

My name is Romeo Drive, endrive systems unit G2 number 090
I was created not to fear a thing and devoid of anything but love for everything, a poet's machine capable of grandiose dreaming
I can steal away tears from a human being and make them see the error in their human ways
Installed by design, crank the switch and I'll do the jive
Take me out for a drive
You won't come back this time

But amidst all of the constant communication I feel alone
Alien, king moonracer on the Island of Misfit Toys
Relegated to a tiny cybernetic throne room on the outskirts of imagination

I want to know God
I want to know God
But all I have is this endless cloud and all these wires for blood

2079
Am I still alive?
Am I myself?

Hello?
Can anyone hear me?

Wires for blood
Wires for blood
Wires for blood
Wires for blood

Hello?
Can anyone hear me?

Wires for blood
Wires for blood
