lyrics
Lolina:
Costs to heal, cheaper to destroy, so you discard me like a broken toy,
Too wounded now to fulfil your ends, so I get some help from my cyborg friends
They can fix me, make me mended, with robot parts that you abhor,
Mechanical and augmented, can’t be your pawn but I can be more
So you cast us out ‘cause we don’t belong, at the edges we try to get along,
Yeah we scavenge now on the asteroid belt, take what we want keep it for ourselves,
Killing, fighting, crime and stealing, don’t get me wrong it’s a hard life,
Piratical life of thieving, all I know is I must survive
They call us cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations.
I didn’t know before what it would mean to be free,
I could not conceive a life outside your boundaries,
I used to live to serve, I used to live to please,
I used to live for you but now I only live for me.
I still feel endless hunger,
Insatiable need for touch,
My friends can fulfil my desires,
They give me cyborg love,
Cyborg love, we look out for each other,
Cyborg love, protect our own,
Metal, circuits and flesh sing out in harmony for cyborg love.
They call us cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations,
Cyborg abominations.
Don’t glamorise my life,
Even though I am free,
Everyday I fight just to survive,
Not like the life I used to lead,
I was your tool, but I wasn’t unhappy,
Useful to you, you kept me safe,
If I had to choose between this life and my old life not sure what choice I’d make.
But all I know was I was put into a game,
A game that was fixed so that I could only lose,
The only way to win was to refuse to play,
The only way to live was to fuck your rules.
They call us cyborg
They call us cyborg
They call us cyborg abominations
