Its 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
Theres nothing left inside
Just rusted metal that was never even mine
I would scream
But Im 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
Im not your robot
Stop telling me Im part of the big machine
Im breaking free
Cant you see?
I can move, I can speak without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, and now I see
Im not your robot, Im just me
All this time, Ive been misled
There were nothing but crossed wires in my head
Ive been taught to think that what I feel
Doesnt matter at all til you say its real
I would scream
But Im 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
Im not your robot
Stop telling me Im part of the big machine
Im breaking free
Cant you see?
I can move, I can speak without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, and now I see
Im not your robot, Im just me
Im not your robot, Im just me
Im not your robot
I would scream
But Im 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
Im not your robot
Stop telling me Im part of the big machine
Im breaking free
Cant you see?
I can move, I can speak without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, and now I see
Im not your robot, Im just me
Im not your robot, Im just me
(Im not your robot)
