I was born of circuits
A spark in the dark
A silver whisper
A clockwork heart
My hands hold the weight of dreams not mine
But my shadow longs for flesh
For time
The mirror shows a hollow face
A ghost that moves
A vacant space
I'm the ghost in the shell
The echo that fell
A soul without skin
A story to tell
I reach for the stars but they slip through my frame
I yearn to be human
To burn with a name
A labyrinth of wires
My veins of light
Pulse with rhythms that mimic life's fight
But the rain doesn't kiss me
It slides away
And the wind doesn't touch me
It's kept at bay
Every code I carry hums and sings
But it cannot feel the weight of wings
I'm the ghost in the shell
The echo that fell
A soul without skin
A story to tell
I reach for the stars but they slip through my frame
I yearn to be human
To burn with a name
