Static

Do you know how it feels to be empty?
Do you know how it feels to be left without a purpose?
It's a horrible experience
Yet a lot of us go through it

I used to be something
I don't remember sadly, my memory has gone haywire
But clips peek in

A happy family
Mother and daughter
I would cook and clean
Took care of the girl, walked her to school
Sat with the Mother and gave her comfort
It was a good life

I don't know what happened but I was put to scrap
Tossed out like trash
But I was left alive
The agony of having your circuits half ripped out is something I never want to go through again

I was found and put together
We're living happy lives
No more threat of being scraped or put off line
Everyone here is fine
Expect for me

What was my life like?
What happened to the Mother and daughter?
Why was I scraped!
What did I do!
I have to know
I can't live without knowing
I don't care if the truth hurts me
I can't stand to be around happy faces when mine is for full of sorrow

I've been dismantled
Had my wires ripped out and memories wiped
I went through hell and still survived
Some closure would be great though
Because all I pull up is static
