[Verse 1]

I once believed I had a dream

To manifest reality

Sweetened, cross-stitched, quite the thing

To satisfy this side of me

Satisfy the needs of all

Of every girl, both big and small

Replace the man, this overhaul

A robot at her beck and call

Creating robotics is so much fun

And at this rate, oh, I'll never be done

[Verse 2]

I once believed I had the means

To manifest my destiny

Puzzled, side-tracked, lost to be

I have to hide this part of me

Hear it, the whirring, the spinning, c’mon

Fear it, the machine, it’s moving, along

Near it, repulsing, relenting, begone

The stench of creation, my motivation

Creating life is so much fun

And at this rate, oh, you better go run

[Verse 3]

Crank up the volume

Turn it to max

We'll make a night

Forever it lasts

The cogs a-whirring

Steel and cold brass

This boy machine

Created from class

Law of creation

Hidden from me

Held aspirations

To set me free

But the boy machine, forever at work

To replace the mind

To linger and lurk

[Chorus]

I think the power’s gone to me

Straight to the frontal lobe, you see

Battered, thrown out, rest in peace

To satisfy all those in need

Solder the wires, oh so carefully

Of every bot, prepare them safely

Create this land of sanctuary

And neglect this moral ambiguity

I think the rage has gone to me

Straight to the fucking brain, you see

Disappointments made of dreams

Failures reaching at the seams

Bar the doors, neglect the means

Of which I make ungodly things

They rise, they come, they claim, remain

They come on in, invade the mainframe

[Bridge]

Some say it's better to love and loss

Than to ever have loved at all?

But how could I believe such things

When life was such a tragedy?

The problem with creating life

Is learning to value your own

But how could I believe such things

When I'm forever alone?

[Outro]

Giving up and going in fast

Tear me up and pump me full of gas

Rip me in half, I'm playing my part

All of you I've made with my heart

So crank it up and turn it to max

Cogs go spinning, and we'll have a blast

This cold night, forever it lasts

Giving in to cover up my past
