It’s been like this from the start
One piece after another to create my heart
You mistake the pain for being smart
Stand here, sell this, and hit your mark

But the sound of the steel
it will crush, and it will grind
It will scream who am I, to decide my life
But in time it will die, they’ll be nothing left inside
rust and metal that was never even mine
I will scream, but im just this hallow shell
Waiting here, begging please
God set me free, so I can feel HEY

Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath, im not your robot
Stop telling me im a part of this big machine
Im breaking free, cant you see
I can love, I can scream
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, so now i see
Im not your robot, im just me

All this time, Ive been misled
There was nothing but cross-wires in my head
Ive been taught that what I feel doesn’t matter at all
so you say its real
I will scream, but im just this hallow shell
Waiting here, begging please
set me free, so I can feel HEY

Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath, im not your robot
Stop telling me im a part of this big machine
Im breaking free, cant you see
I can love, I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, so now i see
Im not your robot, im just me
Im not your robot, im just me
Im not your robot

I will scream, but im just this hallow shell
waiting here, breaking free
set me free, so I can feel HEY
Stop trying to live my life for me
I need to breath, im not your robot
Stop telling me im a part of this big machine
Im breaking free, cant you see
I can love, I can speak
Without somebody else operating me
You gave me eyes, so now i see
Im not your robot, im just me
Im not your robot, im just me
Im not your robot
