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 [bad word]  and the grind 
It will screams who am I to decide my life 
But in time it all die, 
There's nothing left inside  [bad word] 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 
 [bad word] ]
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 
 [bad word] 

I would scream, but 
I'm just this hollow shell 
Waiting here, begging, please 
Set me free, so I can feel 
 [bad word] 

I'm not your robot
