I Wanna Be a Machine

I want, I want to be a machine
And I want to be shiny chrome and clean
There's something, something, some-
There's something wrong with me, oh no

I want, I can 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

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 Sonic
Double the time it takes, double the bad mistakes
Double the monthly breakdown, the shake-down
The trouble with self-doubt, I'm feeling sick of confusion
Give in to the robotic focus and out with the human

I want, I want to be a machine
And I want to be shiny chrome and clean
There's something, something, some-
There's something wrong with me, oh no

I want, I can 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

Feel the pulse like the rhythm that's breaking
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 new infusion
Robotic is better than human

I want, I want to be a machine
And I want to be shiny chrome and clean
There's something, something, some-
There's something wrong with me, oh no

I want, I can 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

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
