Lyrics:

You feel
Like a stranger to me
But I like
That a little
I think
I'm not so sure
I don't know
I don't care
I'm outsider for you
Shield your eyes
I'll make it lighter for you
Tonight

(x2)

'Cause I feel like I've got to escape this place
Go somewhere else with a different name, different face
'Cause I feel like I've got to get up and go
Go somewhere but where, I don't know

When this feeling is all I can feel
At any given time
I know it's time
I know it's time
[Human]
[Human...]
[Robot]

I'm a humanoid in an artificial life
Emotions crafted along with my super sight
I only understand that which I'm programmed
If I crash, I'll get back up with my super hands

I'm a humanoid, in this biosphere
I can hear everything with my super ears
Only feel the way that I'm programmed
And most of the time, that's not to give a damn

[humanoid]
[I'm a humanoid]

Soon, the sun will set
A day of work behind
Then, we can forget
And drink, if we're inclined
Catch the bus downtown
The sky turns down the lights
Hey, are you around
Let's throw back another pint

I work hard for my
Money money money money money money money money
Let me waste my
Money money money money money money money money
Know what I hate, its
Money money money money money money money money
So fuck it
Just fuck it

Late night bus rides are so appealing
But only when
I'm on my own

You take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me darling as you claw at the sky
Alone and dying
Faster, faster

This place is nowhere after all
This place is nowhere after all

As I seep into the blackest void of all
I am nothing, I am no one
As I sleep, I hear them creeping down the hall
They're nothing, they're all gone

But it's okay to be afraid
When you're staring face to face
With time that's gone to waste
And it's okay to hide away
To overcome the fears
That ruin all the days

You may have seen me along the way
I am the quiet man
I'm quiet every day
I've got a story that I dare not speak 
Passersby
Feeling weak

I'm glad you're by my side
(I'm an outsider for you)
Exchanging patterns of breath
In the cold
(Shield your eyes)
I need to teach you to fly
(I'll make it lighter for you)
I'll drop you when you're ready to soar
(Tonight)
