Why do you hold me with such affinity?

I am not meant love or be loved

To be held in arms or kissed by lips

For I am only worth of enmity

Humanity holds no place for me

They care nothing for the heart

For the fragile soul inside the machine

Invisible too all, save those who see

There is no truth in affection

Simply nothing more than a goad

Nothing more than idealistic dream

A clever fool’s terrible invention

We all move around this cold earth

As if there’s something more to find

Glory beyond imagining, a new day

Not realizing our true cause’s dearth

So I travel a world built of clockwork

Seeking an exit to this cog-filled hell

But as fall into the emptiness beyond the door

I realize emotions and reality are no more
