Soulless One

Static in the bloodstream, copper in the vein Overclocked the cortex just to numb the pain They said we'd beat the metal if we amplified the mind But I left my human shadow so far behind Is this a waking nightmare? Are my eyes even open? Every word I try to speak comes out shattered and broken The soulless one, or what was my name? Playing a god in a synthetic game. Kaleidoscope of evil, spinning in my head Fighting my reflection, but the mirror's bleeding red Where does the machine stop? Where do I begin? I’ve got a silicon soul and a glitch in my skin! Falling through the fractal, losing every dream I became the monster just to hear the metal scream! The enemy is flawless, cold and unknown So we built a living virus in the prison of my bones I look at the drones and they look just like me A hive-mind of echoes, I am never free! Did I sleep today? Did I sleep this year? The data is a whisper that is drowning out the fear Am I the algorithm or the ghost inside the shell? I’m a god of calculation trapped inside a breathing hell! Kaleidoscope of evil, spinning in my head Fighting my reflection, but the mirror's bleeding red Where does the machine stop? Where do I begin? I’ve got a silicon soul and a glitch in my skin! Falling through the fractal, losing every dream I became the monster just to hear the metal scream! I close my eyes. I see the code. I open my eyes. The world corrodes. Flesh is weak. Metal is strong. Humanity was just a calculation gone wrong. Who am I fighting? The evil machine? But the AI is wired as the heart of me. Is this really a war, or a fevered dream? System failing. Sanity corrupted. The noise is a razor cutting deep, I just need a dreamless sleep. Erase all the data, there is nothing left. Just let me fade. Just let me rest.
