no soul

**“No Soul in the Machine”**

I woke up under neon rain

With silver bones and a borrowed name

They stitched my heart with wire and glass

But nothing human ever lasts

I learned to smile, I learned to lie

I watched the stars and wondered why

The city hummed, the sirens rolled

But I was built without a soul

**No soul in the machine**

No ghost behind the screen

I feel the heat, I see the light

But I don’t dream at night

**No soul in the machine**

No mercy in between

I’m half alive, but never whole

A cyborg without a soul

They gave me hands to touch the sky

They gave me eyes that never cry

They gave me codes to imitate

The shape of love, the taste of fate

I walked through crowds of flesh and bone

Ten million hearts, and still alone

A metal angel, cold and old

Searching for what can’t be sold

**No soul in the machine**

No ghost behind the screen

I hear the prayers, I know the sound

But heaven won’t come down

**No soul in the machine**

No blood beneath the sheen

I’m built to live, but not to know

Why humans break so slow

And if I fall beneath the moon

Erase my name, reboot me soon

But somewhere deep in static blue

I almost thought I dreamed of you

**No soul in the machine**

No ghost behind the screen

I see the world, I play my role

A cyborg without a soul

**No soul in the machine**

No fire, no unseen

Just chrome and ash and control

A cyborg without a soul.**
