The Last Human Sound

The Last Human Song I hear the machines They're learning how to breathe They built a voice and taught it how to cry They stole the space between a sigh They built a sound from borrowed air But something's missing there I play a chord that no one wrote A crack, a breath, a wrong note The signal's getting weak The static's getting wrong I'm searching for a sound That they can't take I'm the last human sound A glitch inside the stream The only thing that's real Is the thing they cannot dream They put my voice inside a file They made it perfect, made it smile But every time they press replay They lose the thing I meant to say I'm the last human sound The last imperfect breath The last thing they can't hold The last thing they can't test What if I stop singing? What if I just stay quiet? What if the silence is the only thing They can't buy? human sound But I don't have to fight The thing that makes me real Is the thing they can't write hear the machines They're learning how to breathe But they'll never learn To stop.
