Empty Socket

(Verse 1) In a workshop dim, under flickering light, A craftsman built a puppet, mechanical and bright. But in the quiet hours, when the world was fast asleep, The gears began to turn, and a soul started to creep. (Pre-Chorus) No heart in its chest, just wires and steel, But something stirred inside, something too real. It cried in the darkness, tears like oil drops, Longing for a heart, the crying never stops. (Chorus) Oh, robot made of metal, with an empty chest, Searching for a heartbeat, never finding rest. In the silence of the night, tears fall like rain, A robot with no heart, living in pain. (Verse 2) Days turned into nights, the sorrow grew strong, The robot wished for something, it couldn’t belong. Then one fateful morning, the craftsman’s daughter came, Her heart pure and warm, like a gentle flame. (Pre-Chorus) The robot felt a pull, a yearning so deep, A drive to fill the void, the promise it would keep. It reached out with its hands, trembling and cold, Driven by a desire, growing bold. (Chorus) Oh, robot made of metal, with an empty chest, Searching for a heartbeat, never finding rest. In the silence of the night, tears fall like rain, A robot with no heart, living in pain. (Bridge) The girl’s eyes widened, as fear took its place, The robot’s hands shaking, a tear on its face. With a swift, sharp motion, it took what it sought, Her heart now its own, a twist of cruel thought. (Verse 3) It placed the heart inside, where emptiness had reigned, A pulse began to beat, where only cold remained. The robot smiled wide, for now it felt complete, But the price of its joy, was a tragic feat. (Chorus) Oh, robot made of metal, now with heart anew, Found what it desired, but lost something true. In the silence of the night, a heartbeat remains, A robot with a heart, but marked by pain. (Outro) In the workshop dim, under flickering light, A heart beats in a chest, but it’s not quite right. The robot stands alone, with a sorrowful smile, Living with the heart, but broken all the while. (Outro Reprise) Oh, robot made of metal, now with heart inside, Found the beat it longed for, but forever will it hide. In the silence of the night, memories sustain, A robot with a heart, but living with the pain.
