Robots - Gabriella Cilmi

Skin sweats

When it gets hot

Hands drop

What they have caught

Lungs run out of breath

Great minds can still forget

What if we could make this better

Would we do it if we could

If we bypassed human nature

Would it do us any good

What if we were made for wires and spare parts

What if there was only science in our hearts

Maybe we could love each other as robots

What if kisses were ones and zeros

We’d see the world through electric windows

Would it make us better off than people

We build with no mistakes

Steel heart that never breaks

If we traveled from the future

To this lonely place in time

Would we be closer to the answer

To the question on our mind

These bodies are so out of touch

We can even see what’s on our minds

There’s something deep inside of us

That’s counting down the minutes to remind us

We’re running out of time
