Harry Hazard's Re: Black Sheep the Martyr
Part 2: The Bear / (the finale) Chapter 9: Onward and Upward

lyrics

Onward and Upward- Try to imagine a kid built with parts from a scrap pile, complete with artificial emotions. Going through the motions must've been pretty damn hard for him. Wouldn't you agree? To his creators he'd say "You'll see, I'm meant for more than fighting in anti-gravity."/ Please don't take my purpose away. What did you think I'd say, If not just fly away? Talk about the loneliest of sorts, a machine with a heart and parts soaked in a strong sense of justice. These people are just biased, try not to let it get to you. "They don't love you and they never will. So focus on your mission at hand." Yet "Without your conviction and a stand you could never protect them." Well tell me how is this fair? Tell me how I am listening to you right now, like I didn't figure things out?! I felt a little bit more human just now.. With a conflicted mind, or full hard drive. (whichever you'd prefer) Makes no difference to me anymore. Even if I fly, there's another lie to cover up the "truth" of what I am really made for. I see the world through mechanical eyes. Though my memories must be genuine, I refuse to change my mind. I cannot annihilate my own kinsmen while I save the ones who banished them. When I feel this way its like the wires said that I could. You made me so perfect, Father. You made me so good. "How does it feel to be used?" Does not compute. Cannot compute. My purpose to serve as whatever you would want me to, leads to you don't want me. Cause I'm just a copy of the things you loved. Can I be loved? Maybe this A.I. is perfect, and maybe it's just the circuits. You say I am working. But these feelings seem real enough and I'm feeling broken. Abandoned and lost, my feet find the surface. This world left behind has been paying with interest. I'm astonished to say the least. What I'm feeling for them must be pity. No it's more than that, that seems too petty. I'm starting to see these people could need someone like me.. So I pick my chin up and steer my gaze up. Cast aside all selfishness for the moment. A burning fire is growing higher in the pit of my engine, it sharpens my vision. I'll take away the fear that we've made. I'll hold up this town: my strength alone, my burden now. Raise up my fist and make a wish. I am NOT a coward. My jets erupt screaming "Onward and Upward!" / I'm floating beyond the atmosphere. I can't stay another day. I've fulfilled my fate and saved the day.. Though cast away. And I am never coming back. Ill just keep floating beyond the debris that's here. Forever Floating..
