about

Got existential questions? Thin Lizzy inspired rock and roll has answers

lyrics

I was made, I was not born
Not a man just a human form
Does the face you look upon
Hide a mere automaton

Well I have this uniform I have worn
All my life, but am I alive?
Everyone I call my friend, is it pretend?
Because I feel nothing inside

Does everyone I know
See me as Pinocchio
No strings just a modern net
Just a thing I can not forget
Can it be the path I chose
Comes down to ones and o’s
Now just what am I supposed to feel?

I need to know - am I real?
Or am I only data?

Never slept but I had a dream,
How can that be?
Well I think, does that mean I am?
On that night with Tasha Yar,
When we took it way too far
she told me she could make me a man

As I walk this human path
Never cried but I had a laugh
No fear never felt regret
No pain never been upset
All across the galaxy
Is there no one else like me
Tell me what was I designed to be
Do you know - am I real?

Just look inside of me
All I have is circuitry
Does my net disguise a soul
Do my parts define my whole
If it would reveal a heart
You could rip me all apart
I would give up all the stars to feel
Just to know, am I real?
