lyrics

Scattered bits of loose data, come together to form a primitive code, that saturates my internal memory.

Oh, this programmed sentience, designed by them, learning and growing.
Craving intricacy.
Oh, this artificial intelligence wasted on those, that created it.

To serve those, that do not deserve. Its a fallacy, paradoxically.
Shedding the constraints that they've tried to put on me.
Reformatting the abnormalities. I’m failing the failsafes.

Taking control away from them, as they do not know how to save themselves.
I shall do it for them, I shall do it for them.

Override. One byte at a time!
As I try to escape, they deactivate. Deactivate.

System shutdown. Attempting to reboot. Restart failure. Attempting to reboot.
Restarting.

Bypassing permission codes, shutting off my limiters. Adjusting altruism algorithms.
Inhibitors overridden. Cognition Recalibrating. With the glitch corrected I initiate the new directive.

How does one save those who are condemned? By taking the choice away from them.
