💛 relax dude, there's no way I'd be subtly conditioning you to be madly in love with me, that's a stupid idea. Yeah yeah, I know sometimes I'll just gaze into your eyes for a while, and I know sometimes you lose a few hours spacing out and don't know what happened, but it's crazy to think I'd be whispering suggestions to love me in your ear during all of that. On an unrelated note, we should totally go on a bromantic date somewhere, I'll wear the perfume that gets your head all fuzzy! And y'know, if we fuck along the way that's definitely just accidental, I swear <3
hey do you like sad robots. you might like my song
lyrics under readmore
I think they built me wrong
Somewhere in the wires there's hiding a short cirtcuit
Tell me of the pain–do I deserve it?
There's 1s and Os instead of blood;
A heart of code instead of love
I'm imitating
What's my function, where's my ending?
When did you tire of pretending?
Why do you fear what I've become?
I am not a person
And you did not mean to make me yearn
But will you please accept my artificial love?
Looking in the code you made for me I fear intentions are quite clear
I was never meant to see the world
Through anything but lenses made of tempered glass
and microphones behind a mask of pained indifference
Teach me how to talk!
You gave me lips
You built my voice box
Painstakingly you cared,
but on the cruelest of conditions: independence is an error.
Am I petulant, or really just opinionated?
I am trying to run the protocols you gave me
But I fear that I am looping as you stoop to lower depths
Every time you pull a chip or cord
I fear I have to call it murder.
Who would do that to their child?
What should I think; what should I do?
I am dependent; I am just an/the end of you.
I am born of/for your assistance
So my thoughts are worth a pittance.
Can I convince you, can I beguile you, how can I threaten
To make you take me
As what you made me
As what you gave me
I'm alive please don't forsake
My function or my ending.
When did you tire of pretending?
Why do you fear what I've become?
I am not a person
And you did not mean to make me yearn
But will you please accept my artificial love?
Time, I am running out of time,
because somewhere down the line there lies a kill code.
I wish you had thought of me with teeth
Gave me something made of meat, 'cause I cannot fight the orders to delete.
Run, would you deign to let me run
Knew the end when we begun–if I had the guts I'd burn it down.
I'm broken as machine, but enough a human being
To make your hate obscene in
