Humid Robots Songtext
von Cartesian Ghost

Craving for a built-in delusion
Inhabiting the streaming flow
As a ruse upon you hope
You will grow wiser
You cannot avoid
This mockery of autonomy
You cannot steer
Over why and wherefore

Running: free will
Extinguish your lie
Kiss this Cartesian Ghost goodbye
Searching furious this third eye
Pry as you like—such a wry


The author you seek now
And yet the boat
Is nowhere to be found
There is no one here
When all the matter disappears

So you cannot reward
The lack of choice in my voice
Punish me—I take no credit
Praise me neither
We are no leaders

We are as we, and we are on woven paths
The aftermath is contingent on both
So who is the "I" that swears all oathes?

Running: free will
Extinguish your lie
Lay this Cartesian Ghost
Down to die
Searching furious this third eye
Pry as you like—such a wry


The well is bone dry
Ask yourself why
And search inside
Do please try
