Lyrics: Robert Matthew Chapman

[Verse]
Spent a lifetime wondering
If my childhood fantasies
Might become reality one day
Now I'm left acknowledging
The sheer impossibility
We won't be around to see
The idealistic positronic dream
[Chorus]
I can learn to live
But I can't live forever
Nothing made by man
Should aspire to rise to that endeavor
I can learn to live
But I can't live forever
We have reached the point where all is only what it seems
I still want to dream
[Bridge]
Have I really learned at all?
Every empire has to fall
Eventually
When did we forget to dream of better ways
Now we've pissed all of our future days away for something we all understand
[Chorus]
I can learn to live
But I can't live forever
Positronic dreams will fade away
As our consciousness erases all the backups that we've made
[Outro]
We have reached the point where all is only what it seems
But I still want to dream
