[Intro]
I don't want to be human
I want to see gamma rays
I want to hear X-rays, and I want to
I wanna smell dark matter
I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws
And feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me
I'm a machine
I'm a machine
I'm a machine
I'm a machine
I'm a machine
And I can know much more
[Verse 1]
I can feel that I'm not real
No denying the reflection you see
Made from things that feel no pain
I have to lie to pretend that I'm me
Making you believe things I never felt
Living a lie means you're never surprised
I'll steal your thoughts to define myself
Everything I promise will never arrive
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a machine
I'm a machine
[Chorus]
Schizophrenic symptoms
Of my split personality traits
My actions are lifelike
But I'm so fucking fake
A synthetic reproduction
Of what I think that you want me to be
If you peel back the plastic
Nothing is all that you'll see
[Post-Chorus]
I can know much more
[Verse 2]
It took me years to replicate tears
To embrace all the things that I hate
It's so sad you believed that I cared
When I tell you the truth, it's too late
Tell me all the things that make me human
All the traits that I want to erase
Make a wish, you self-deluded bitch
It might come true before you're replaced
[Chorus]
Schizophrenic symptoms
Of my split personality traits
My actions are life-like
But I'm so fucking fake
A synthetic reproduction
Of what I think that you want me to be
If you peel back the plastic
Nothing is all that you'll see
[Bridge]
Nothing
I'm a machine
Nothing
I'm a machine
Nothing
I'm a machine
You're nothing
[Outro]
I'm a machine
And I can know much more
