lyrics

I have learned some TV skills, how to want & how to kill
What I need is not how I... feel, but I was born out of steel
They got me wires instead of veins, the mind can never go insane
I can never feel deranged, I always feel... all the same

Killing the time I have left
Pressing the buttons of my machine heart
Existence is all I have left
Living seems so sudden, to my machine heart
It feels too real, it might hurt.

If I rust I'm in Disgrace, my human heart has been replaced
In the world that doesn't care, I'm a robot feeling out of breath

Killing the time I have left
Pressing the buttons of my machine heart
Existence is all I have left
Living seems so sudden, to my machine heart

It feels too real, it might hurt
Well, I've been there & it's not fair, not again
Feelings are tyrants setting my world in flames
It might hurt.

All this time I lied and stared
Turning off my mind instead
Close to Life and to Despair,
All this time I lied and stared

Look at me, so failed and square.

Killing the time I have left
Pressing the buttons of my machine heart
Killing is all I have left
Loving seems so sudden, to my machine heart

It feels too real, it might hurt
I've been there, without a care, not a plan
I'm growing tired of living dead in this game
Without an end

Now, where's the future plan?
I'm not doing what I can

Are we doing what we can?
