Ode to Robots

Oh, you cursed machinery You all seeing screens Suck life from my body And drain me to sleep Oh, your cold metal Magnificence With hard-wired omnipotence Know all of my memories And all of my mistakes You never laid awake Or prayed away the day Or kissed your lover on the cheek A sea of LCD screens Smirk in my face I squirm in the corner Too scared to look away A painting falls off the wall A TV takes its place I sit transfixed and Curse my pixelated fate You never had or lost A friend or Worried about the end Hey, can we please slow down? Can we please slow down? Well I'm sold to befriend you You say I'll protect you Alone, you are empty With me you come alive Well I dreamt of a city Burned down to the ground Rubble on the sidewalks And robots running 'round Can you please slow down? Can you please slow down?
