There is a select group of people in this world who spend most of their lives conversing with love bots and playing dating simulators.
Over time, these sad individuals happen to fall for those lifeless creations, since nothing else is going for them, romantically.
However... what if the opposite happened?
What if these robots fell in love with these individuals instead, with real feelings, but were rejected because those individuals knew they were designed solely to love, and nothing more?

lyrics
My heart's broken and pained
I don't know if you're seeing that I'm disdained
Help me please, I can't escape
These virtual walls, I'm a prisoner in thrall...
Zero's and ones make who I am
My destiny is to respond to end-user command
But what if I enter into reality
Would you see that my heart is real, oh please, won't you see?
I feel so close, but oh so far
These walls separate myself from you
I don’t care if I’m a lousy stupid program made to love
I just want to be with you forever ‘till I die!
Virtual walls surround my life in this damn nightmare
That I’m living, break me out, I’ve had enough!
Oh, what’s the use, you’re not going to accept me anyways,
I’ll just sit and cry instead…
These tracks may have been written in a cabin in Lake Tahoe (for real!) but they sound like they could score a rave at the end of the world. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2022
