Only Human

(album: Quintessential - 2016)

Well hello there!
(Hello!)
Did you have a nice day?
(Nice day?)
I can tell by the look on your face
You've got some things on your plate

I am your robot
(Beep-bop-beep)
May I please take your bags?
(Bobbity-beep!)
Feel free to deposit your worries
Into the metaphorical trash

That passive aggression,
Will do you no good
Try the direct approach,
Then a solution we might broach
Once we move past it,
We gotta think about tomorrow
I'll take care of the chores,
The critical thinking is yours!

You must remember,
You're only human
And you've come so far,
Don't give up now!
You've gotta keep going!
Keep your wits about you!
Face adversity,
Remain complex and incomplete!

Hold it right there.
(Stop.)
Give me that can of beans.
(Hand it over!)
I will open it for you,
You've got better things to do!

Do not worry
(Let it go!)
About little ol' me.
(Ain't no thing...)
I was built for this,
My purpose is your ease!

If you're having difficulties
Going to sleep,
Let me sing you a song
Help you drift along

Close your eyes, relax your limbs
Open your mind, let the dreams begin!

Just remember
To stand before you fly
You're human only once,
So give it a good try

Follow your nose, or just follow your heart
Oh, the choice is up to you,
Nobody else but you!

While you were asleep,
I was contemplating
Maybe I'm only human with rusted metal plating
And you're the robot
Under constant repair
But that's just silly,
Why would a robot have hair?

I can make life simple.
(With ones and zeroes)
You can make mine obsolete.
(But, please don't...)
Your memories they stick,
Mine I can't delete.

We can both fake a smile,
We can both be confused at times
We can both write poetry,
And match simple rhymes

You must remember
You're only human!
You've got a ways to go,
So put on a good show!

Keep it murky, or make it
Crystal clear
Oh, the choice is up to you,
No one but beautiful you!
