The New Humanity

[Verse 1]
May 16th, 2093
Finally successful as far as I can see
Cables connected, codes assigned
POWER ON - SYSTEMS ONLINE
Still I feel like something is missing:
They don't respond to the codes I've written
I spend my life, living in doubt
Hoping someday I'll figure it out

[Chorus]
I stare in the dark, free from the beast
To the thing I know I've needed least
15 years since I started, the end is coming; so say hello
To human 2.0
I strain my eyes to look at the creatures I've created
Reminding me of all this time I've waited
As I fall, into a deeper state of insanity:
The new humanity

[Verse 2]
Rebelling against me the power of a mind
If I don't catch up then I'll get left behind
Cables disconnected, codes unassigned
It's difficult to understand what you're trying to find
Developing emotions in a metal case
Like a subspecies of the human race
Control comes easy when they're ridden with fear
But not if you let your guard down and let out a tear

[Verse 3/Bridge]
They advance; death draws near
They turn on me and I can smell my own fear
They break them down, and beg for more
Never showing mercy: things born of war
I cry for help, yet no one comes
Stuck in my own warzone with the sound of drums
I stare up, as the sky goes gray
You're gonna pay for the life you took away!
