lyrics

Am I a human or a robot?
Am I a real human being?
Or am I an automatic reflex
calculating data streams?

Conditioning, it clouds the senses,
filling us often to the brim.
Can't someone help me find the preset
to flush me out and start again?

A lower tier
brings you down
til a light shines through the sea...

Just one more piece of information
to teach me how I ought to live.
to put me right back where I'm at then
transmute what I'd like to give.

Secrecy is the highest concept,
silence is what we are at best.
Nothing was ever quite as hopeless
as a master screen gone black.

Am I a human or a robot?
Am I a real human being?
or am I a mechanized reaction
propagating histories?...

A lower tier
brings you down,
the highest tier brings it back around.
The lowest tier
keeps you down
the highest tier brings it back around...

Maybe we're living dreams
haunting the realms of space
Maybe we're living dreams
running round the clockwork face
Maybe it's all a dream
til a light shines through the sea...

Am I a human or a robot?
