teaching a robot to love Songtext
von Amelia Moore

Prop you up before I turn you off
Check your chest to see the broken parts
All my fingers through your holographic heart
All systems down
Operation 792
I′ll paint your wires bloody red and blue
I'll try whatever to good night to you, but you shut me out

Can you even feel?
Do you even register my touch?
Will you ever be able to love me someday?
I know you′re made of steel
But does it even hurt to see me bleed?
Will you ever know what it means to be human? (I don't know how)


I've been holding all the evidence
Cold and coded and expressionless
Artificial unintelligence, don′t pull the plug
I could′ve sworn I caught you crying once (crying once)
Or maybe I just made that up
But I'ma love you ′til they pick apart my skin and bones
Replace my heart with lithium and maybe we'll relate for once

Can you even feel?
Do you even register my touch?
Will you ever be able to love me someday? (I don′t know how)
I know you're made of steel (steel, steel)
But does it even hurt to see me bleed?
Will you ever know what it means to be human? (I don′t know how)

To touch, feel, love
I don't know how to be human
To touch, feel, love
I don't know how to be (to be) human (human)
To touch, feel (feel), love
I don′t know how to be
I don′t know how
