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 will screams who am I to decide my life
But in time it all die,
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
[Chorus:]
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 breaking 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 was nothing but cross-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, begging, please
Set me free, so I can feel
[Chorus]
I would scream, but
I'm just this hollow shell
Waiting here, begging, please
Set me free, so I can feel
[Chorus]
I'm not your robot
