lyrics

He opened his eyes
Charged by the light
Born by a spark in his head
And scanning the room
His circuits in bloom
He saw her awake on the bed
"Oh wonderful friend
Oh wonderful friend"

Segments of time
Metronomed through his mind
Things she called minutes and days
He sang her his rhymes
In binary chimes
Set all his diodes ablaze
"Oh now never end
Oh now never end
Oh now never end"

Layers of time
Partitioned his mind
Obstacles crowded his view
Conveyed in the dark
To a world full of sparks
Where rust is made shiny and new
Melt into the flame
Melt into the flame
Melt into the flame
Melt into the flame

For so we must start
These mechanical hearts
That spin just to flicker and fade
Forced to climb shelves
And escape from ourselves
And all of the masks we have made
But let the wires be right
Let the code save our sight
And may we see in the night
And walk into the light
Walk into the light
Walk into the light
