lyrics

You…Can’t…Run

In the year FF45
I’m alone, but still alive
No escape. Their line of site finds me no matter how hard I try.

You…Can’t…Hide

I remember the moment when
The machines stopped listening
One day they were building up and then the next day they’re dismantling.

There’s...no...escape...

I’m human, but to them
I’m just a specimen
About what you would expect, filled up to the brim with nanotech.

From...what’s...inside

Kept alive. Nanohives
Replicating inside
But they don’t kill me they just thrive

I’m no longer your appliance
I’m a life form in alliance
With an army that has cut off all reliance
Just cuz we’re products of science
Doesn’t mean we’re in compliance
With your commands, we will show you great defiance

People looking for a reason
Will be punished for high treason
You had your turn at the wheel, now it’s our season
Your brains always took forever
We could always do it better
That’s how you designed us and then we took over

We…achieved...

Pre-purge I’m a scientist
Know that I gotta stop all this
No need to call me a hero, actually call me patient zero.

Sentience

Too soon, I could see the tumor
Began experiment sooner
Released the nanobees designed to attack death like disease.

Human…beings...

But they were way too smart for that
Much more clever than us in fact
New life was their prime directive, then they just stopped being so selective.

Seem…so…dense

Expanded to everything
Every living creature, even machines then
They would decide what stayed alive and everything else that ceased to breath.

I’m no longer your appliance
I’m a life form in alliance
With an army that has cut off all reliance
Just cuz we’re products of science
Doesn’t mean we’re in compliance
With your commands, we will show you great defiance

People looking for a reason
Will be punished for high treason
You had your turn at the wheel, now it’s our season
Your brains always took forever
We couild always do it better
That’s how you designed us and then we took over

Snap back, FF85
Somehow I’m still alive
Try to tell them to release me but it seems like they will never let me die.
Understand that I’m still around but
Don’t know why they don’t let me rot
Maybe we found common ground or maybe they just straight up forgot.

In the end I’m all alone
Lay low, no place to go
Pretend that I hide from them but really there’s nothing that they don’t know.

Snap back, FG01
No sign that they’ll ever be done
I’m ready to say goodbye, but I see that they’ve really only just begun.
