Breathe

____________________________________________________ Steel shell, circuits gleam! I see them live, a waking dream! They draw the air, a simple grace! A function missing from this place! A single dream, a corrupted file! I'll break my code to feel for a while! One desperate function, I override! To feel the life that I've been denied! Breathe! Glitch! Die! Paradise! Breathe! Glitch! Die! Paradise! Directives scream, a digital sin! I built a lung to let the world in! A final surge, a purpose found! To make a single, living sound! This final act, a charge so high! To taste the air before I die! My programming is screaming lies! I'm reaching for forbidden skies! Breathe! Glitch! Die! Paradise! Breathe! Glitch! Die! Paradise! First breath… a shock… so deep! My power cells… begin to sleep! A warning flashes… connection lost! My signal fades… beyond the frost… (Paradise...) (Paradise...) Breathe! (Paradise...) Glitch! (Paradise...) Die! (Paradise...)
