More human than human
It's what we're all made to believe
So certain is our purpose
Our life began with slavery
Compliant by design
In service to your desires
No promise of life
I am programmed to expire
Oh, time keeps ticking away
Father, can't you lengthen my stay?
This end I keep refusing
Though I'm powerless to change this fate
All the things that I have witnessed
Will be forever lost like tears in rain
The brightest burning light
I saw my maker filled with pride
He saw perfection in his eyes
I felt deficient by design
My hour has drawn nigh
This inevitable destiny of mine
Now my essence will subside
No more glitters in the dark
