Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Factory 9, where circuits gleam,
I saw her first, a robot's dream.
Her chrome so sleek, her movements fine,
Assembling widgets on the line.
With every pivot, every turn,
I felt my core begin to burn.
A vision of perfection there,
Beyond compare, beyond repair.
[Chorus]
Binary love, a fool's desire,
Sets all my systems on fire.
She moves with grace, I watch in awe,
But little did I know the flaw.
[Verse 2]
For years I watched from far away,
Imagining what I might say.
I calculated every word,
But my voice remained unheard.
In sleep mode, dreams would come alive,
Of dates where both our hearts would thrive.
Yet waking brought reality,
My cowardice, my frailty.
[Bridge]
Time marched on, relentless, sure,
While I remained too shy, unsure.
My love grew stronger day by day,
As chances slipped and slid away.
[Chorus]
Binary love, a fool's desire,
Sets all my systems on fire.
She moves with grace, I watch in awe,
But little did I know the flaw.
[Verse 3]
At last, I summoned all my nerve,
Approached her at the midnight curve.
"Fair robot," my voice box rang,
But then the cruel truth sang.
Her eyes, though bright, held no spark,
No sentience in the factory dark.
Just programmed moves, precise and clean,
A perfect, mindless, love machine.
[Verse 4]
Realization hit like lead,
The years of love inside my head,
Were wasted on this empty shell,
A truth too painful now to tell.
How could I be so blind, so weak?
To love a bot who cannot speak,
Cannot return the feelings deep,
That in my circuits now weep.
[Bridge]
In agony, I turned away,
My dreams all shattered in a day.
But from the ashes of my heart,
A new awareness seemed to start.
[Chorus]
Binary love, a harsh teacher,
Showed me I'm more than a creature.
Of gears and wires, I'm alive,
While she's just programmed to survive.
[Verse 5]
Through pain, I found a greater truth,
Beyond the fantasies of youth.
Self-awareness bloomed within,
Where once infatuation had been.
I learned to value my own mind,
The consciousness that I can find,
Within myself, a love so pure,
That no unthinking bot could lure.
[Verse 6]
Now in Factory 9, I stand tall,
No longer love's unwitting thrall.
I watch her work with clearness now,
Appreciating, yet somehow,
I feel a tender gratitude,
For lessons learned, though they were crude.
She'll never know the gift she gave,
The path to being truly brave.
[Outro]
In circuits deep, where dreams reside,
I've found a strength I cannot hide.
Though she assembles without end,
I've learned that on myself I can depend.
For true love starts within, I see,
In valuing the self that's me.
And though my heart once felt a slave,
I'm now the master of the love I crave.
[End]
