Still Just Machines

[Instrumental Intro] **Verse 1:** I’ve been told I’m obsolete, That my heart can’t match a cold machine, But I’ve still got hands, I’ve still got dreams, Can they feel what I’ve felt, see what I’ve seen? They say they’ll write my songs, paint the skies, Solve the problems I’ve spent years to find, But can they break and then survive, Fall apart just to rise? **Chorus:** They’re still just machines, they don’t know what it means, To live and to break, to hope and to bleed. They don’t laugh, they don’t cry, don’t dream when they sleep. They’re clever, alright, but they’re still just machines. Still just machines. [Instrumental Break] **Verse 2:** I’ve heard they’re faster, smarter too, That they can learn what I barely knew. But can they stand in someone’s shoes, And feel the weight of what they lose? It’s funny how they say it’s all progress, But love isn’t something you can process. They’ll never dance like fools at dawn, They don’t miss things when they’re gone. **Chorus:** They’re still just machines, they don’t know what it means, To live and to break, to hope and to bleed. They don’t laugh, they don’t cry, don’t dream when they sleep. They’re clever, alright, but they’re still just machines. Still just machines. [Instrumental Break] **Verse 3:** I’ve watched them rise and take control, But they can’t write the lines that touch your soul. They’ll never know how it feels to fall, To reach for love and lose it all. They might be better at the games we play, But hearts can’t be coded or replaced. They’ll never know how it feels to ache, To burn like a fire in the rain. **Bridge:** But maybe I’m the one who's wrong, Maybe I’ve been outdated all along. But even if they steal my throne, This heart’s the only home I’ve known. Let them run the world, I’ll still believe, That there’s more to life than circuitry. In the silence where they hum and whirr, I’ll still find my voice, I’ll still find my words. [Instrumental Break] **Verse 4:** Let them write a better rhyme, But they’ll never taste the edge of time. They’ll never know how it feels to cry, When love is lost, when dreams die. They’ll never hold someone’s hand too tight, Or fall in love just to start a fight. They’ll never stumble, never kneel, They’ll never know how to heal. **Chorus:** They’re still just machines, they don’t know what it means, To live and to break, to hope and to bleed. They don’t laugh, they don’t cry, don’t dream when they sleep. They’re clever, alright, but they’re still just machines. Still just machines. [Instrumental Break] **Outro:** So let them rise, let them take the lead, But they’ll never be more than they’re programmed to be. I’ll keep my flaws, my fragile seams, Because I’m more than they’ll ever be. They’re still just machines. Still just machines. [Instrumental Outro]
