iRobot

from the album “the Machine”

rusty parts will not move
the way they used to do
and whats inside my head could use
a reboot now and then
it’s almost time to trade it in
the expiration came and went
I am still relevant
and I refuse to repent
its hard lose
before the games begin
shattered glass obscures my view
but this is nothing new
for years it seems, ignore the truth
the warranty is through
beyond the point of no return
dismiss the lessons left unlearned
I am still relevant
and I refuse to repent
it’s hard lose
before the games begin
the power surges are breaking me down
my ones and zeros are twisted around
I wander how much longer my brain will survive
the truth will reveal I was never alive
