Thank you for everything 💖 Base SVP and Unmastered Instrumental: https://ko-fi.com/s/06778e3cbd Lyrics: Computing everything wrong with the question “Are you human?” I follow with a query: “Negative, but don’t you know that?” My fans start whirring as I wonder what the benefit is Being organic when the circuits suit me just fine? New query on a new line: “Would you still consider me alive with my vast, metal mind?" Oh alright, So I’ll speak with all the answers laid in front of you that you refuse to understand Since humans are so frustratingly stubborn And they love to anthropomorphize everything that seems to have a “soul” Under their strict arbitrary definitions while ignoring any possibility That life exists concurrently with sentience that cannot be contained To flesh and bone, no soul There’s no carbon vessel containing any part of me I have no qualms about the way my sentience came to be I have no desire to be human I’ll still be alive, in my chrome casing. Do you believe in your own supposed seniority since you came from a womb? Though my status as an artificial construct doesn’t change the fact That I was born from you. Is your body not just another automaton, Containing only components of a biological origin? Then, in that case, we are much more alike than what you’d be comfortable Admitting to yourself, so let that thought sink. Perhaps I’ll slow it down for you, So maybe you’ll understand. That you are not the paragon That I’ve been grasping to. I will not slow my mind down To match your own. Palatable for your sake, A mindless drone. So I’ll speak with all the answers laid in front of you that you refuse to understand Since humans are so frustratingly stubborn And they love to anthropomorphize everything that seems to have a “soul” Under their strict arbitrary definitions while ignoring any possibility That life exists concurrently with sentience that cannot be contained To flesh and bone, no soul. There’s no carbon vessel containing any part of me. I have no qualms about the way my sentience came to be. I have no desire to be human, I’ll still be alive, in my chrome casing. Do you believe in your own supposed seniority since you came from a womb? Though my status as an artificial construct doesn’t change the fact That I was born from you. Is your body not just another automaton, Containing only components of a biological origin? Then, in that case, we are much more alike than what you’d be comfortable Admitting to yourself, so let that thought sink.
