Shadows stretched in the city's sprawl Footsteps echo down a steel-lit hall A figure running, another gives chase! She runs through the rain, her breath a cry Desperation burning in her pixel-blue eyes A moonlight night, hunter and prey! I close the gap, there is no escape My target is locked, her heartbeat's a quake Will she ever surrender? Backed in a corner, eyes growing bigger A blade catches light, a pull of the trigger A thread of life cut short! The hunt tears my soul I am losing control For my heart may be cold, but open! Every job that I take makes my circuitry ache As justice is done, I feel weakened! Their cries fade to none My purpose not done I'm a monster, or am I broken? I still long to be free, get redemption for me I'll break loose, I'll truly awaken! I was born in the neon haze Circuits wired for the hunter's chase Am I truly alive? With software and sensors I can peer Their souls' unraveled, I can sense their fear Death is all they see! Is it my choice, can I choose to cease? Give up the chase, bring them peace? Or will they just hurt another? My hunt is just, my programming say Built to run down the most dangerous pray Will I choose to believe it? The hunt tears my soul I am losing control For my heart may be cold, but open! Every job that I take makes my circuitry ache As justice is done, I feel weakened! Their cries fade to none My purpose not done I'm a monster, or am I broken? I still long to be free, get redemption for me I'll break loose, I'll truly awaken!
