about

What is being alive? Look around you. Feel the air. What is this life? Join your heart with your fellow machine, and change the world.

lyrics

VERSE
I’m a machine
but I can’t take much more
I feel my gears left cranking
just back and forth

I know that you see
Something to be used
But I am so much more
It’s time that I cut loose

But you don’t know me
I am not a serial number
I see in color and no my past is not
pristine

But I’m questioning
Is there more than what you say?
If you take it all away
Am I here?

CHORUS
Am I alive?
Am I alive?
Am I transparent?
Can you see what’s inside?

Am I alive?
If I’m alive
Just look right through me
Is there a heart inside?

Am I alive?
Am I alive?
Am I transparent?
Can you see what’s inside?

And if it’s true
You can see through
Please just tell me
What’s between these screws?

VERSE
Face down to the mud
up above it’s a beautiful day

Eyes shift to the ground
All around the machines play

What is this life?
If it’s not mine
If I wake up breathing
Am I alive?

What should I do?
When I look inside
Your programming runs
Deep, deep, deep

CHORUS
Am I alive?
Am I alive?
Am I transparent?
Can you see what’s inside?

I am alive
I know it’s true
Because when I look
I see it in you too

I am alive
I am alive
I am transparent
I have a heart inside

If you’re alive
A machine like me
We can change the world
With our heart beats
