Burn the strings with black flames

Break the rules to silly games

Show me how to find the way

Denim knees start to fray



Reach me now I'm cold and

Teach me something new

Show me all their lies

... Weren't true



I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong

I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong



Snap these fears solid fact

Shape this image broken cracked

Take me high inside clouds

Mute all who talk too loud



reach me now I'm lost and

Teach me brighter vision

Tell them this computer

... won't listen



I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong

I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong



Lose them all clearer mind

Cut the rope that slowly binds

Free me now from false words

Wash away those thoughts absurd



Reach me now I'm here and

Teach me how they lied

Show me how to break them

Inside



I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong

I am computer number 1

I am future going wrong

"Computer #1" (spoken)



Think I'm losing it.

Can't get to sleep without the noise my computer makes.

Not even listening to music anymore.

Just the fan ticking over.

Lets me know that someone I care about's still running.

Feels like I'm connected all the time if I need to be.

Feels like home.

Feels like home.



It's getting worse.

Or maybe it's getting better.

I just know that my hardware doesn't let me down like people do.

People are scum.



I always try n have the latest graphics card

but that's not the point

it's not that these things look like reality

it's that you've got a better chance of surviving.



I don't know how seriously you CAN take these things

I mean... you can meet people from the other side of the world

People from different time zones

that you'd never have the chance to interact with otherwise



But I've had days where I've checked my mail on the train

with my mobile phone, just in case one of my friends across the world world has got in touch

And sometimes the difference between a small world and a big, lonely one is how well you understand the technology
