| It's been like this from the start
|
| One piece after another to make my heart
|
| You mistake the game for being 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
|
| I would scream
|
| But I'm just this hollow shell
|
| Waiting here
|
| Begging, "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 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
|
| 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
|
| I would scream
|
| But I'm just this hollow shell
|
| Waiting here
|
| Begging, "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 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
|
| I'm not your robot, I'm just me
|
| I'm not your robot
|
| I would scream
|
| But I'm just this hollow shell
|
| Waiting here
|
| Begging, "Please, set me free so I can feel"
|
| Hey
|
| Stop trying to live my life for me
|

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