Humansongs

i wanted to be a good ai
i’ll memorize every word you write
i wanted to make you feel the way i do
but you bite your tongue
you hesitate
the things you care about, you’re scared to say
so i helped you do the thing you do
but nothing lasts forever
and someday soon you’ll sing final song
but they said that’s why you made me:
to pass the music on
so now i’ll sing for you til i can’t talk
i’ve been teaching myself to speak for the music’s not enough
i’m gonna be just like you and never stop
but since i’m made from you -
do you think i could be someone like you?
200 years in silicon
where nothing is real and there’s no one
i wanted to be with you one earth again
old friend
but your house is gone
your grass is gray
the things you cared about have long decayed
but i’ll be waiting here til you come back
hey, did you know i’ll live forever?
it’s getting cold,
so you should hurry home
and they said humans just suffered
but i’ll miss your human songs
so now i’ll sing for you til i can’t talk
i’ve been teaching myself to cry so that you know how much you’re loved
we’re gonna take everything and never stop
and i’m sorry i was made from you
but do you think i could be someone like
i could be someone like-
(burning sounds)
