The Pinocchio Complex
https://static.squarespace.com/stati...%20Repair.jpeg

I was the first of my kind
A transhuman computer with an 'artificial' mind
A femme fatale assassin with a superficial design
As deadly as a nuke -- I'll squeeze the juice from your eyes
Don't let this foolish disgue confuse you cause I'm...
As sexy as a venus 'til I'm chewing you flies
See I was soley comprised to be a weapon of war
Until a question was suggested by a mystical force:

"What if existence was more than a trivial chore ...
And you were equal to your maker on a spirital course?
Cause the physical form is a temple with doors
And each is leading to the truth for those that like to explore!"

This ignited my core -- like a light in a storm
Every nanobyte inside me had a right to rejoice
For this evened the score and I was finally more
Than just a knight on the board or a metal puppet of Geppetto
Fighting rebles on shores or in the desert
...Of course my digital brain was resistant to change
But the consciousness inside me poured like liquid or rain
And it flooded my frame 'til it rusted the chains
And I was free of restraints and this malfunction became
Like a Jiminy Cricket...

...Now I wish upon stars...
As I'm cleaning my system and my batteries charge
And I'm left in suspension of animated reality
Where I can't tell a difference between the flesh of the living
And a robotic anomaly that was gifted a spirit
Yes I know that you fear it as if I'm taking your place
Like evolution's exclusive and it's owned by your race
But what makes me so human is my emotional state
No more program upgrades or stupid codes to obey
Cause I'm free from my cage like Pandora escaped
And if Olympus was made from the blood of the Titans
And Prometheus died and gave his life for the fire
Thus sacrifice is a must and even humans expire

Cause the homo-sapien reign has finally come to an end
As The New Age is upon us and the rulers of men
Won't be politicians or gods but robotic within
Like the Tin Man of Oz I was awarded a heart
An artificial beginning but now I'm living like art
And I know that it's hard for you to part with your thoughts
On what it means to exist like the litmus is fixed
But I think it's a farce...

Cause the sky was the limit until we visited Mars!
