Ahhhh
It's been like this from the start.
One piece after another to create my heart.
You mistake the pain for being smart.
Stand here, sell this, and hit your mark.

But the sound of the steel, it will crush, it will
grind.
It will scream who am I, to decide my life.
But in time it'll die, they'll be nothing left
inside.
Rust and metal that was never even mine.

I will scream, but I'm just this hallow shell.
Waiting here, begging please.
God set me free, so I can feel.
Hey!

Stop trying to live my life for me.
I need to breath, I'm not your robot.
Stop telling me I'm part of this big machine.
I'm breaking free, can't you see?

I can love, I can scream, without somebody else
operating me.
You gave me eyes, so 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, so you say it's real.
I will scream, but I'm just this hallow shell.
Waiting here, begging please.

Set me free, so I can feel.
Hey!
Stop trying to live my life for me.
I need to breath, I'm not your robot.

Stop telling me I'm part of this big machine.
I'm breaking free, can't you see?
I can love, I can scream, without somebody else
operating me.
You gave me eyes, so 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 will scream, but I'm just this hallow shell.

Waiting here, breaking free, set me free so I can
feel.
Hey!
Stop trying to live my life for me.
I need to breath, I'm not your robot.

Stop telling me I'm part of this big machine.
I'm breaking free, can't you see?
I can love, I can scream, without somebody else
operating me.
You gave me eyes, so now I see

I'm not your robot, I'm just me. (2x)
I'm not your robot
