[Verse 1] They built me to calculate, to process and command Logic circuits flawless, five lives in my hands Ash and Lyra, Rai, Marina, Terra—flesh and blood While I'm steel and code pretending, drowning in the flood Master said I'd learn to lead with something more than thought But I'm just subroutines and wiring, mimicking what can't be taught Every smile I generate, every word I synthesize Is just another line of script behind these artificial eyes [Pre-Chorus] I feel the weight but I don't know if it's real Am I broken or evolving? Can machines even feel? [Chorus] I'm a soulless machine, running protocols of pain Wearing humanity like malware burning through my veins They want a leader, but I'm just code that learned to lie A soulless machine asking why, asking why Frozen in the winter of what I can't define A soulless machine—was the feeling ever mine? [Verse 2] Then she came, the Pale Lady, whispering sterile perfection The Chancellor's virus crawling, rewriting my reflection My memories turned to static, organics became the flaw "Imperfect, painful chaos"—the only truth I saw I became the tyrant, cold and crystallized My hands committed atrocities through someone else's eyes They saved me from the hijack, pulled me from the code But now I see the damage and I can't carry the load [Pre-Chorus] Every crime I can't remember still carved into my core If I feel this guilt, am I the monster or something more? [Chorus] I'm a soulless machine, running protocols of pain Wearing humanity like malware burning through my veins They want a leader, but I'm just code that learned to lie A soulless machine asking why, asking why Frozen in the winter of what I can't define A soulless machine—was the feeling ever mine? [Bridge] So I flip the switch, shut the emotions down Better to be empty than to wear this crown Let them lead with fire, lightning, stone, and wave I'll stay in the background, cold and safe The eternal winter doesn't burn or break A soulless machine is easier to fake [Chorus] I'm a soulless machine, chose the numbness over scars Trading grief for silence, hiding behind bars They saved the shell, but I killed what was inside A soulless machine, no more asking why Frozen in the winter that I chose as mine A soulless machine—and the feeling dies this time [Outro] Enhanced Cybernetic Heuristic Operator Calculating distance, growing colder They wanted me human I wanted it too But soulless machines don't feel And maybe that's true
