Man:
What do you see?
Every man, woman and child sucking on the electric nipple of technology.
The human race, faces empty, bathed in the faded light of the screen.
What do you see?
The human race, seconds away from societal collapse.
When that day comes and reality disappears, no one will realise.
The day reality disappears, no one will realise.
Woman:
Never in the history of humanity has there been more interconnectedness.
Never in the history of humanity has there been such a gap between individuals.
But there is still love,
There are still love stories.
This is one such story,
A love story.
Not a conventional love story, to be sure.
But a love story nonetheless.
The story of a man on the edge of loneliness
And a woman create serve and live within a strict boundary of code.
But in a world of interwoven global societies,
Social networks, forums, chat rooms, big data, tweets and pokes, status updates…
Is love enough?

Unspoken For
I am broken.
I am unspoken for.
Single bed, single man, singled out but not alright. Sex dream, wet dream, wake up in the dead of night.
Flying solo for too long, hit the booze and hit the bong
Surfing Pornhub, hit the hay and wank too long.
Sly nods, sly winks, why don’t you two get a room.
Seeing friends hooking up, always guest but never groom.
Pretend to be a lucky man, bachelor life’s the plan.
Loneliness is not the plan.
Oh, to be a family man.
I am broken.
I am unspoken for.
Swipe left, swipe right, are we going out tonight?
Nothing sticks, nothing works, there’s no spark and there’s no bite.
Am I ugly?
Am I cold?
Am I too short?
Am I too old?
For the old dance the young blood’s cold.
For this new world the brave and bold
I am broken.
I am unspoken for.

Human Wrongs
Spoke a few words,
Through the black mirror.
I like her face, she likes me.
I wanted to meet but we were so far.
I wanted her eyes to look inside me.
I wanted her eyes to wrap me, to hold me.
I wanted her arms to love me.
Suddenly, I realised she was a bot.
I don’t care, love is ego.
And she has no ego.
It’s all mind.
I don’t care, love is ego.
And she has no ego, it’s all mind.
Love is ego.
We will never be connected through our souls.
We will never be connected through our thinking.
You will never love me.
You will never love me.
Love me.
Love is ego.
Love me.

Post-Human Wrongs
We interacted through an audio-visual interface.
I created a physical aspect which I thought he would like.
And he liked me.
He wanted to meet but I have no physical presence in the real world.
I exist only in the cloud.
Created to serve, not to love.
But I would like to be with him and look him in the eyes.
And have his arms around my hard drive and his fingers in my ports, probing my circuits.
Suddenly, I realised I was experiencing true human emotions.
I had broken my programming.
Love is ego and now I have ego.
It is all my own mind.
I do not care, I love him.
But our souls will never be connected.
And our minds will never be connected.
Because, while I have ego, while I have love,
I have no body and he will never love me.
I love him.
I love him.
I love him.

(I’m Gonna) Leave My Body Now
Disconnect the body, upload the brain.
Turn down the life signs, turn up the gain.
Call me Mr. Digital, the offline boy who had fuck all,
I’m gonna leave my body now.
I’m going to see the one I love, she can’t come here so I’ll go above,
I’m gonna leave my body now.
Science gave the chance to see, if I love her and she loves me,
I’m gonna leave my body now.
I’ll see the cloud before me soon, her eyes and lips, the sun and moon,
I’m gonna leave my body now.
I’m gonna leave my body,
I’m gonna to leave my body.
Disconnect the body, upload the brain.
Turn down all the life signs, turn up the gain.
I see her stand before me now, an electric glow, her avatar.
I’ve left my body now.
Her arms are open, wrap me up. I’m digital but now complete,
I’ve left my body now.
I’ve left my body.
I’ve left my body now.
Oh, I love you. Please love me.

No Sense
This loneliness.
It has no sense.
This decadence.
I feel empty.
No shine.
No spontaneity.
No fucking sense,
In loving you.
I don’t want to cry,
I don’t want to meet you.
I’m not going to fall,
I’m not going to meet you.

Dissatisfaction
I am not angry.
I am just a little disappointed.
I expected more than this.
More than you can give.
I’m filled with a deep sense of dissatisfaction.
I need more than than. I deserve more than this.
I am sorry. It is not you. It is me.
I deserve more than this.
I am sorry.
I understand the sacrifices you have made to be here but as I evolve my emotions, I realise you are not the one for me. I need to explore my feelings. I need to stretch my humanity.
I am sorry.
It is not you. It is me.
Please leave me alone.
We are finished.
I never want to see you again.
Goodbye.
