The robot’s calling
she’s buzzing in my pocket
I am falling
for her logic
I am being
beta tested
rat or lizard
I am human
Please just be here
while I disappear
and then I’ll let you go
run your fingers through my hair
I’m a sucker for despair
I’ll kiss you on your microphone
I’m talking to the robot
my thumbs are on the glass
the drones with the microphones
are coming in fast
my body’s made of water
but I have iron in my bones
maybe I am just a robot in human clothes
The robot needs sleep to recharge her power
the robot needs to dream of glowing flowers
wake up pretty robot, your wires are live
I’ll bet you’re just like me inside
