lyrics

I’m not ready for a conversation
About modernity and depersonalization
But god I wish I felt more like a robot
God I wish I felt less, just like a robot
They said we’ll all be replaced by machines
What does that mean for bugs like me
I wish I was more like a robot
I wish I was more like a robot

I just want a use
I want to be valued
Or I just need to adapt
I wasn’t supposed to be this screwed

You’re either someone that hurts or you get hurt
You will burn alive if you go scorch the Earth
I wish I could function like a robot
Told what to do execute like a robot
can’t run from it when the doors are locked
Rewire me so I never want to walk away
Use me abuse me like a robot
Let nothing get in the way just like a robot

It’s whispered common knowledge
Nothing I do now will be enough
You’ll rule the world forever
You’d rather watch it fall than give it up

but I think I have some worth
if you don’t then strip me for parts and put me to work
If I can’t change your mind
Make you forget everything you’ve ever heard

all I should have been was a piece of paper
All I should have been was a book
Something rational that you say you'll believe
Forget these disorders and diseases
If we’re at the end of the Earth
Make the credits roll before I get hurt
This survival is no noble fight
This survival sucks out all my life

I'm aware it's easy to break
What does that mean when it won't change
Pretty sure we're falling out of favor
with the public and the oddsmakers
I want to fill a brick in the wall
Just to know I’m helping anything at all
Forget what I might have been
If I didn't have to be so practical

about

Fell From The Tree Rochester, New York

I fell from a tree.
I am in a fog and I catastrophize.
I am not ENOUGH, but that's ok.
