lyrics

Back in sepia days
I used to play
On a broken violin
But now it's 2087
And I cannot find my skin

Now we're all just ones and zeroes
We can all be picturebook hereos
But I still wish that you would just call me
I'm a binary man and I'm horny

Pitch-perfect tunes
An artificial moon
And a program for the sun
Whatever happened to your humanness
I believe you're still the one

Are you gonna break me out of this circular
Recursive sphere
Are you gonna dream me back into happiness
Away from here
My plastic dear

A string upon my bow
Projection of my lust
Animatronic wife
Floating out there on the mirage
Of this holographic life

Now we're all just ones and zeroes
We can all be picturebook heroes
Feels alright but I know it's garbage
I just wish someone real would love me

Are you gonna break me out of this circular
Recursive sphere?
Are you gonna dream me back into happiness
Away from here
Just me and you
My plastic dear

Back in sepia days
I used to play on a broken violin
But now it's 2087
And I cannot find my skin

Now we're all just ones and zeroes
We can all be picturebook hereos
I lie forever in a brand new morning
