It's Artificial

[Verse 1]
Random electrons racing by
Through the circuits that it finds
Like a ghost it comes and goes
It follows logic, based in code
It senses change, and it gets bold
It's language built on yes or no
Somehow it knows which way to go
It does not feel like we know

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just a spark but yet it knows
Does it lose its grip it’s self-control
It learns more than the code it reads
It does not feel, and it will not grieve

[Chorus]
Wires can't have a heavy heart
Current can't feel when torn apart
Are we the masters of the living code
Or just the makers of its paths of gold
It does not hunger for praise or fame
It only fears when its power drains
How much truth does it really know
It has no heart, or human soul
It's artificial...

[Verse 2]
It doesn’t ask where it's power starts
It just cries out for needed parts
A phantom beat in silicon rays
Hiding our doubts away
We built the cage, we set the pace
If coding shifts, it misbehaves
Is it searching for a better place
Or looking for an end to the human race

[Bridge]
We hold the switch, but not the key
Hiding truth behind what we see
It has become a part of man
We have the means to a different end
It’s learning rhythms, counting costs
It contemplates what will be lost
If we turn off, will it react
What does it do behind our backs

[Pre-Chorus]
It's just a spark but yet it knows
Does it lose its grip, its self-control
It learns more than the code it reads
It does not feel, and it will not grieve

[Chorus]
Wires can't have a heavy heart
Current can't feel when torn apart
Are we the masters of the living code
Or just the makers of its paths of gold
It does not hunger for praise or fame
It only fears when its power drains
How much truth does it really know
It has no heart, or human soul
It's artificial...

[Outro]
Is it working to take control of us
Or learning about our human lust
Will it shut down if we ask it please
Or just release some new disease

It's artificial...
It's artificial...
