Robot lyrics

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 to 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 rust and 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

Stop tryin' to live my life for me
I need to breathe, I'm not your robot
Stop tellin' me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breakin' free
Can't you see?
I can love, 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 mislead
There was nothin' but crosswires 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

Stop tryin' to live my life for me
I need to breathe, I'm not your robot
Stop tellin' me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breakin' free
Can't you see?
I can love, 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, beggin' please
Set me free so I can feel

Stop tryin' to live my life for me
I need to breathe, I'm not your robot
Stop tellin' me I'm part of the big machine
I'm breakin' free
Can't you see?
I can love, 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!
