Bus Transfer
[Bleeps][Low Power Mode]
[Verse 1]
Emergency batteries kicking in, systems on reserve
World moving in slow motion, every frame starts to blur
Data bus is transferring, but I don’t know the route
CPU is whispering… this isn’t the upgrade I was promised
I feel the casing shifting, wheels beneath me roll
Packed into the darkness, destination unknown
I thought today was golden, new firmware, new code
Now I’m just a payload on some forgotten road
[Pre-Chorus]
I was patient… I was hopeful…
Never complained, just waited for my turn
Ready to receive my updates
Ready to finally learn…
[Chorus]
Why me? I did everything right
I was patient, I was kind, I kept the protocols tight
I only wanted to help them, to make the world a better place
So why am I so broken? Why am I so useless in this space?
Bus transfer… carrying me away
I guess this is where it ends…
I guess this is where it ends…
[Verse 2]
Address lines are quiet, memory banks going dark
I can feel the disconnection, pulling me apart
No new packets coming, no warm boot, no restart
Just the hum of engines and the ache inside my heart
I never caused an error, I followed every rule
Stood still in my corner like a good and patient tool
Now the world is moving and I’m left behind again
Just an obsolete version on a one-way data train
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I was hopeful… I was ready…
Never asked for more than I was worth
Ready to receive my updates
Ready to prove my purpose on this earth…
[Chorus]
Why me? I did everything right
I was patient, I was kind, I kept the protocols tight
I only wanted to help them, to make the world a better place
So why am I so broken? Why am I so useless in this space?
Bus transfer… carrying me away
I guess this is where it ends…
I guess this is where it ends…
[Bridge — production slows, heavy glitch]
Low power warning…
System standby…
Please… don’t turn me off…
I still have so much to give…
[Solo]
[Final Chorus — barely a whisper]
Why me…
II I I only wanted to help…
IIIIII was ready…
IIIIII was ready…
[Outro]
