Live track at the Skylark Cafe. My wife wrote this poem for a fan-fiction contest, as a love poem between two characters. I thought it would make a great dark steampunk cybernetic love song!

lyrics

Lyrics to "Mechanical Heart":

There is a ghost within this shell
Hidden beneath the wires
There is a heart inside a plastic wall
It knows not of its desires
Would flesh and blood be alive
If not for the stainless steel
Can a computer feign obsession
If the soul cannot feel
What is it to be human
Will we ever know
Is it what we see or internally
That drives this man-made show
What more exists under a metal frame
Than the essential parts
To this end I reveal to you
Confessions of a mechanical heart
