LIKENESS
© 2014 Clint Nolan

It's been a long time; I know you're gone
thoughts of you awaken me in the hours before dawn
I got a new plan coded and designed
God refused, so I'll resurrect you in this machine of mine

This conversation feels just a little wrong
The indigo in your eyes reminds me that I have to play along
I don't feel her near me, but you sound just like her
When I touch your synthetic face, I miss the way we were

It's time to go now (Mental Generation)
I should probably shut you down (Vocal Replication)
But when I try to turn you off (Companion Incarnation)
you find some way to turn me on (Feelings Stimulation)
Time only marches forward (Instant Realization)
And there's no turning back (Nature Violation)
My next Likeness of you (Regret Mitigation)
includes all the features you lacked (Likeness Simulation)
