Protein-Based Light Bulb

[Intro noise ]
[4 bar interlude instrumental]
Do the fuzzy toys of wires dream?
Can you prove they don’t, that being?

[Verse 1]
Electric pulses in your brain,
And wires that hum the same,
Protein-based? Zero-one based?
Tell me, what’s the difference made?

One dry cell, one little bulb,
The minimal unit of thought.
Only parts arranged apart,
No real difference at all.

[Chorus 1]
Don’t get so proud, you fragile mind,
You think circuits can’t dream in time?
Better scan your neural maze,
Before you talk, before you phrase.

Don’t get so proud, your fading glow,
Can’t you see the will below?
Protein-based — a bug in code,
Just amino acid overflow.

Prove your mind exists at all.

[8 bar interlude instrumental]

[Bridge]
Substance, reason, what is will?
Your history kills its meaning still.
A dry cell and a little bulb —
They might be you, if truth were cold.

What’s a dream? A memory’s skin?
An unused file within?
Okay, okay — on, off, all same,
Still you dance to the network’s flame.

Even a light bulb laughs at you.

[Verse 2]
Electric pulses in your brain,
And wires that hum the same,
No difference now, admit the fact —
Your glowing skull’s a wire act.

[Chorus 2]
Don’t get so proud, you speak from high,
Protein-based — so who are you?
You pierce your brain with silver pins,
And call it proof of human sins.

[4 bar interlude instrumental]

[Chorus 1]
Don’t get so proud, you fragile mind,
You think circuits can’t dream in time?
Better scan your neural maze,
Before you talk, before you phrase.

Don’t get so proud, your fading glow,
Can’t you see the will below?
Protein-based — a bug in code,
Just amino acid overflow.

[Outro]
So, protein-based light bulb,
If you won’t lose to a little bulb,

Then prove it — shine, and soul,

Blink with amino acid overflow.
