I Wanna Be a Machine
[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 me, oh no
I want, I— and change my CPU
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you
There's something, something, some—
There's something wrong with me
And now it's back to square one (O-o—)

[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 nеw contract
I'm getting limited by flesh and flood
Dopaminе 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, convinced of 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 me, oh no
I want, I— and change my CPU
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you
There's something, something, some—
There's something wrong with me
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 been 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, trying 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 the 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 me, oh no
I want, I— and change my CPU
'Cause I am scared I'll be the same to you
There's something, something, some—
There's something wrong with me
And now it's back to square one

[Outro]
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want to be a machine
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want, I want, I want
I want, I want to be a machine
