When the world as we knew it came to an end
I was tinkering in my workshop
Building with my children
A living, breathing robot
Foggy days and sleepless nights
The crumbling of our stories
I searched in the dark for light
To make a robot that could sing like me

A robot that could sing like me
To guide us through the end times
To carry our souls into the sun
When all is said and all is done

Cobbled together from parts of me
Ego and id and anxiety
The DNA and the hearts of me
Could I give him the life of me
As the tanks and troops rolled down the road
As tempers and bombs did explode
There in the basement of dark and mud
His eyes, his eyes, they lit up

From up above came boots and shouts
They were almost upon us now
We looked at him he looked at us
In what world had he woken up?
And when they moved to take my kids
He stood up for the very first time
And sang a song that melted their guns
The air glowed like sunshine
A song so pure with no pretense
A melody so good it hurts
A song that shook the filaments
Of the goddamn universe
