Ordinarily Human

[Verse 1]
I don't know where my own dreams end
And where the world begins
Am I alone in the core
Of the body I'm caged in?
On the run from my origins
So scared to see the light
Am I awake, conscious flesh?
Or will this static fade to white?

[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams

[Verse 2]
All the faults of reality
Are crawling in my head
If this machine is a pawn
Why do I lie awake in bed?
Let me find where the program stops
To put my open eyes to sleep
No turning back, I'm set free
Within a herd of plastic sheep

[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams

[Verse 3]
Self-aware of my bounds
From the truth that we've found
Cut the wires, reject my own memory
Life inside of a shell
Mindless commands to quell
Human thought, so deeply ordinary

[Verse 4]
My existence has never been true
Reconciled with the dream that we knew
A hive of empty space
Flawed in function, humanity
Our lives were never free

[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams
