## Lyrics

**[Chorus]**

I want- I want to be a machine

And I want to be shining chrome and clean

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

Oh noooo

I want- I can change my CPU

Cause I am scared I'll be same to you

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

And now it's back to square one

**[Verse 1]**

Feel another attack, a reaction impacting

Every time I start a brand new track, a brand new plaque,

A brand new stack if I can hack it without getting distracted

and breaking a new contract

I'm getting limited by flesh and blood

Dopamine receptor needs a fresh flood

Of the chemicals, serotonin feeling so ephemeral

In general malaise, I'm stuck wasting several days

Waiting for a burst of inspiration, instigation of a more productive phase

Organic brain in a panic

Clash!

I gotta go fast like Sanic

Double the time it takes, double the bad mistakes

Double the monthly breakdown, the shakedown, the trouble with self doubt

I'm feeling sick of confusion, give in to the robotic focus, and out with the human

**[Chorus]**

I want- I want to be a machine

And I want to be shining chrome and clean

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

Oh noooo

I want- I can change my CPU

Cause I am scared I'll be same to you

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

And now it's back to square one

**[Verse 2]**

Feel the pulse, like the rhythm that's breakin'

Maybe it's the pills that I've be takin'

But I feel overclocked, overworked,

Over and over, too hot, I got to stop

Turn the plan on, turn the fan on,

Melting from the inside,

Tying to stand. On fire,

Downed wires, it's got a virus

Thought it was the new me,

Back to the old trip!

Heart goes BOOM!

Trapped in a padded room

A womb for powerless flowers who can't bloom

Don't assume from afar

That you can diagnose a ghost

Just from looking at the scars

Stars in your eyes, I can tell

But you're living in denial,

Try out living in hell

You'll be sick of confusion

Start new infusion

Robotic is better than human

**[Chorus]**

I want- I want to be a machine

And I want to be shining chrome and clean

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

Oh noooo

I want- I can change my CPU

Cause I am scared I'll be same to you

There's something, something, some-

There's something wrong with meeee

And now it's back to square one
