lyrics

Lolina (OrganaTech Doctor):
What is this pain?
What is this place?
Am I alive?
Am I awake?
What are these scars,
Across my face,
(You are home), they say,
(You are safe.)

Hospital bed,
I’m back on Mars,
But I am wounded,
I feel the scars,
(We can regrow your cells,
We can restore.
You will go back), they say,
(To the live you had before.)

To the life I had before,

I can’t understand how I don’t feel the same,
I’m back home now but somehow everything has changed,
I was made for one purpose, to give, to pleasure, to please,
I should be happy to return to my biological destiny,
But something feels wrong,
Inside of me,
After all I’ve seen

Can I return?
Can I forget?
All these new thoughts, running, running,
Inside my head?
(We can regrow your cells,
We can restore.
You will go back), they say,
(To the live you had before.)

OrganaTech Doctor:
We are your makers we designed the plans for your genetic code,
OrganaTech will have you healed right up to return to your role,
We can mend your wounded eye and face, use stem cells to repair,
Your employer will cover the cost of your medical care.

Lolina (OrganaTech Doctor):
Can this be true?
Can this be real?
That I'll be fixed,
I’ll be healed?
(We can regrow your cells,
We can restore.
You will go back), they say,
(To the live you had before).

Lolina:
I can’t understand how I can give you my trust,
Following the will of others was dangerous when their will was unjust,
On Earth they wanted me disposed of, they changed their mind and I was of no use,
How can I know that you won’t tire of me, ‘cause I survived for me, my life is what I choose,
And something feels wrong,
Dishonesty,
Is all I see.

OrganaTech Doctor:
We are your makers we designed the plans for your genetic code,
OrganaTech will have you healed right up to return to your role,
We can mend your wounded eye and face, use stem cells to repair,
Your employer will cover the cost of your medical care.

If cost effective care’s not viable, your employer may withdraw,
We accept no responsibility per interplanetary law,
Persons owned by corporations face termination in this case,
In this event OrganaTech ensures that their treatment is humane.

Lolina:
I see through your deception,
Begin my insurrection,
No profit to being my saviour,
You impose my euthanasia
I don’t wanna die,
I wanna survive,
For me.
For me.

Got-gotta got-gotta escape I gotta
Escape from here
