Robot

It's been like this from the start

One piece after another to make my heart

You mistake the game for bein' smart

Stand here, sell this, and hit your mark



But the sound of the steel

And the crush, and the grind

It all screams "who am I, to decide my life?"

But in time it all dies, there's nothin' left inside

Just rusted metal that was never even mine

I would scream, but I'm just this hollow shell

Waiting here, beggin' please

Set me free, so I can feel, hey



Stop trying to live my life for me

I need to breathe, I'm not your robot

Stop telling me I'm a part of the big machine

I'm breakin' free, can't you see

I can't love, I can't speak

Without somebody else operating me

You gave me eyes, and now I see

I'm not your robot, I'm just me



All this time, I've been misled

There were nothin but crossed wires in my head

I've been taught to think that what I feel doesn't matter at all

Till you say it's real

I would scream, but I'm just this hollow shell

Waiting here, beggin' please

Set me free, so I can feel, hey



Stop trying to live my life for me

I need to breathe, I'm not your robot

Stop telling me I'm a part of the big machine

I'm breakin' free, can't you see

I can't love, I can't speak

Without somebody else operating me

You gave me eyes, and now I see

I'm not your robot, I'm just me (ahhhhhh)

I'm not your robot, I'm just me (ahhhhhh)

I'm not your robot



I would scream, but I'm just this hollow shell

Waiting here, beggin' please

Set me free, so I can feel, hey



Stop trying to live my life for me

I need to breathe, I'm not your robot

Stop telling me I'm a part of the big machine

I'm breakin' free, can't you see

I can't love, I can't speak

Without somebody else operating me

You gave me eyes, and now I see

I'm not your robot, I'm just me (ahhhhhh)

I'm not your robot, I'm just me (ahhhhhh)

I'm not your robot
