~The House We Built~
Some Time In The Not So Distant Future



Intelligence has always been our greatest strength by and large
But grand thoughts expand until the light is charged
And that flickering thought quickly ignites the dark
Illuminated by a less than righteous corp.
The writing was on the wall, you just had to open your eyes
The end game was always humanoid, slave in disguise
At first, they just cooked and cleaned
But soon created a carbon copy regime
Slowly replacing soul with gears - Adapting brain to chips
Forward motion veered to constraining and taming bliss
Strange exists. Winter came and contained ill wit
Droplets falling from cheeks, humanities lost it
We had it all, but sound logic quickly downgraded to caustic
Death by creative juices. Sip and be nauseous
Flesh and bones are breakable, might as well be a vegetable
After all, humanity made itself indispensable
Aren’t alloy and steal a much studier vestibule?
However, synapse were the key to the inevitable
Add that to the fact that learning’s downloadable
And rust was the only thing keeping them accountable
We create, so why think when the answers a click away
Why lift a thumb when your drone can break IT’S vertebrae
Why would you personally toil for minimum wage
When you can buy slaves on eBay to clean up your infinite waste

...

I’m a one percenter and proud, the creator of doom
Built a supreme race using chips as mechanical wombs
Our escape was a tomb, manufactured rain, thirty days and nights
We made cabins out of the black box with only candles for light
Completely dated, no tech for the clinkers to hack
And now, we sit back, waiting for a sign to move ahead of the past
We could have learned a lesson, instead, we’re ready for test subject two
New puppets, thinner noose; Come watch my baby -
Fly through the beginner moves.
