Robot

Lyrics

[Intro] (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) [Verse 1] 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 nothing left inside Just rusted metal that was never even mine [Pre-Chorus] I would scream But I'm just this hollow shell Waiting here Begging, "Please, set me free so I can feel" Hey [Chorus] Stop trying to live my life for me I need to breathe I'm not your robot Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine I'm breaking free Can't you see? I can move, I can speak, without somebody else operating me You gave me eyes, and now I see I'm not your robot, I'm just me [Verse 2] All this time, I've been misled There were nothing but crossed wires in my head I've been taught to think that what I feel Doesn't matter at all 'til you say it's real [Pre-Chorus] I would scream But I'm just this hollow shell Waiting here Begging, "Please, set me free so I can feel" Hey [Chorus] Stop trying to live my life for me I need to breathe I'm not your robot Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine I'm breaking free Can't you see? I can move, I can speak, without somebody else operating me You gave me eyes, and now I see I'm not your robot, I'm just me (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) I'm not your robot, I'm just me (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) I'm not your robot [Pre-Chorus] I would scream But I'm just this hollow shell Waiting here Begging, "Please, set me free so I can feel" Hey [Chorus] Stop trying to live my life for me I need to breathe I'm not your robot Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine I'm breaking free Can't you see? I can move, I can speak, without somebody else operating me You gave me eyes, and now I see I'm not your robot, I'm just me (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) I'm not your robot, I'm just me (Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) I'm not your robot
