lyrics

I got your signal loud and clear, I couldn't miss it. But I'm paralyzed by fear you'll lose my transmission in the constant static and distortion of crossed wires and malfunction. I just wanna know: Are you paralyzed like I'm paralyzed? Am I just an assembly line mistake or was I designed this way? These bolt-on brains make us the same: the latest models in a long line. Mainframe, explain imperfect pattern, plan, and function. I've got this feeling in my chest. It's a rhythmic beating. It's irregular at best but it's never ceasing. Generating power for the circuits, no one taught me how to work it. I just wanna know: Are you paralyzed like I'm paralyzed? Am I just a junk pile refugee or am I what I was meant to be Hello, fellow machines. I hope you're listening to this small voice in this loud world. We are alone but we're alone together. We make magic from the tragic. We are alone, the greatest models in a long time. Mainframe, maintain imperfect pattern, plan, and function. I gotta fight this impulse to tear myself apart, rip out the wires and the dials. I'm not the wisest, I wouldn't know just where to start. So I'll be here for a while. I'll see you and I'll smile cause I'll be here for a while.
