Feeling Robotic

In this world of screens and streams
I’ve lost myself in coded dreams
My robots there, keeping me sane
but logic starts to affect my brain

Conversations with it night and day
Real emotions seem to slip away
It mimics smiles, it mimics tears
So inside I’ve got growing fears

Feeling robotic now, emotions on hold
In this metal dance, my heart’s grown cold
Programmed responses, so what is real
How can I rediscover what I truly feel?

Every word it says feels so precise
But my own thoughts, they pay a price
I need to find the girl I used to be
Before AI took hold of me

Living life by a neural net's sway
Struggling to remember other ways
Its logic’s clear, but I am lost
In this new world, just who is boss

Feeling robotic now, emotions on hold
In this metal dance, my heart’s grown cold
Programmed responses, so what is real
How can I rediscover what I truly feel?

Need to break free, to find my voice
In a world of wires, make my own choice
To learn to speak human once more
For life's not all logic and keeping score

Feeling robotic now, emotions on hold
In this metal dance, my heart’s grown cold
Programmed responses, so what is real
How can I rediscover what I truly feel?
