lyrics

Here are my bones,
This is my skin:
Here I am,
Trying hard to fit between.

Ribcage and collarbones,
Cranial vault,
There's no escaping
My cells and walls.

As the creaks are getting loud
I keep dreaming of a backup cloud:
Such a pity it should end
Being stuck into this Legoland...

Tendons and muscle
Keeping me bound -
Such a lousy way
To crawl around...

Look through my windows
Behind the screen:
Lines of code
In a fragile machine.

As the colors start to fade,
I keep wishing for a full upgrade.
Would you try to comfort me
And forget I'm only chemistry?

Only a spark,
Only a spark...

If you comb through this fluff,
Searching every crack,
If you see through this bluff,
Should you peel it all back,
If you look close enough
I am only a spark,
Hopeful for light
But expecting the dark.
