Em G D
Its been like this from the start,
Am
One piece after another to make my heart
Em G D
You mistake the game for being smart,
Am
Stand here, sell this and hit your mark.
Em G D
But the sound of the steel and the crush and the grind
Am
It all screams "Who am I to decide my life?"
Em G D
But in time it all dies there's nothing left inside
Am
Just rusted metal that was never even mine
Em
I would scream
G D
But I'm just this hollow shell
Am Em
Waiting here, begging please,
D
Set me free so I can feel
Em
Hee-ey
G D
Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe
Am
I'm not your robot
Em G D
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine, I'm breaking free
Am
Can't you see,
Em G
I can love, I can speak
D Am Em
Without somebody else operating me
G D
You gave me eyes so now I see
Am
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
Em G D
All this time I've been misled
Am Em
There was nothing but cross-wires in my head,
G D
I've been taught to think that what I feel doesn't matter at all
Am
So you say it's real
Em
I would scream
G D
But I'm just this hollow shell
Am Em
Waiting here, begging please,
D
Set me free so I can feel
Em
Hee-ey
G D
Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe
Am
I'm not your robot
Em G D
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine, I'm breaking free
Am
Can't you see,
Em G
I can love, I can speak

Without somebody else operating me
