[Verse 1: Kathy-Chan, LongestSoloEver]

Just another day trapped inside this bunker

Hid behind the doors, preventing drones from being slaughtered

Being cooped up with no escape

Thinking we'll be safe

I'd rather be out there fighting for our kind

Being sure that we can live without the worries of our lives

I could be the hero that everyone needs

Remember Uzi, doors can-

Blah, blah. Bite me!


[Pre-Chorus: Kathy-Chan]

But lately thеre's been something strange insidе of me

Like a power slowly manifesting wanting to break free

Try to keep it hidden away from everyone!

Ugh, come on! What the hell is going on?

I want to figure out the problems that I got

Finding clues from the past, string together my thoughts

Uncovering the data won't be a simple task

What's wrong with me? Is that too much to ask?


[Chorus: Kathy-Chan]

Lost in these thoughts, lost in my mind

Thinking bout the flaws in my design

Contemplating every choice I make

Was I built to hurt, or was it a mistake?

I don't know why I was made the way that I am

But I'll find out, no matter what

The whole purpose of my cybernetic program


[Verse 2: Mike Geno]

Creeping through the dark

Flying through the night sky

Hunting down survivors in a blink of an eye

Our orders are simple, "Just attack and break ’em"

"Don't let them live, just find and kill ’em"

We sneak in the shadows of this wasteland of a planet

Feeding off the living with no bodies took for granted

We drink their remains, for our own gain

Hiding in the day, away from the deadly sun rays

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Geno, Sakaruchibi]

But secretly, I've been contemplating my existence

Wondering what will happen when we're finished with the mission

Will they shut us down? Will they throw us out?

Stop slacking off, N!

My mind is full of doubts

Old memories, start to cloud my head

What was I like? Is that me, but dead?!

Uncovering my past won't be easy to do

Who's making me forget the things

That I've been through?


[Chorus: Mike Geno]

Lost in these thoughts, lost in my mind

Thinking bout the flaws in my design

Contemplating every choice I make

Was I built to hurt, or was it a mistake?

I don't know why I was made the way that I am

But I'll find out, no matter what

The whole purpose of my cybernetic program


[Guitar Solo by LongestSoloEver]

[Bridge: Kathy-Chan, Mike Geno, both]

What am I supposed to be?

Take lives with my own hands?

Lost in my own history

Listen to their commands

Want to make sense of all this

What will they do to us?

I know that something's amiss

Making us furious!

Why would they send some of our own kind

To do their dirty work?

It was their own fault that

Humans died here and we overtook

Maybe we're too smart for them

Or maybe they're just too afraid?

When we finally see them again

We'll be sure to make them pay!


[Chorus: Kathy-Chan]

Lost in these thoughts, lost in my mind

Thinking 'bout the flaws in my design

Contemplating every choice I make

Was I built to hurt, or was it a mistake?

I don't know why I was made the way that I am

But I'll find out, no matter what

The whole purpose of my cybernetic program

[Outro: Mike Geno, Kathy-Chan, both]

My messed up head, just so uptight

Don't even know what's wrong and right

Rather not hurt the ones I care about

I know we'll find out who's been pulling the strings!

We'll be sure to be prepared for any obstacles

That the future brings!
