lyrics

His love died at forty five but in a brilliant mind he'll bring her back to life with circuits, codes, and time. He works so late into the night. A hard wired bolted design. Tonight at the finish he flips the switch. She walks and talks alone no more. His wish is her command. She cooks, cleans, sings but there's no warmth to find in her a cold false crude machine, nothing more. Four months in and she is wearing on him. She's a constant reminder of what he could never have. Now pull the cord.

I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend. sherryking
