lyrics

When thoughts of the end entered her head,
her hand was steady, ready.
Happy again, simultaneously deeply sad,
“Mind or body, don’t know which one haunts me.
I am a machine. I am a machine. I am a machine.”

Commentators came out. What were they writing about?
He wasn’t oblivious to their business.
“Do I need to impress to find my bliss?
It’s just that I’ve noticed what success is.
I’m just a machine. I’m just a machine. I’m just a machine.”

I didn’t make this, create this, but I’ll live it, give it my machine.
You can have my machine.
Promise, for purpose, you’ll tell me my service please. Please.
Why am I a machine?

Around they go. Where they stop nobody knows.
It seems endless until it ends.
When lullabies don’t get them sleep at night, they ask, “Why?”
“Am I am machine? Am I a machine? Why am I a machine?”

I didn’t make this, create this, but I’ll live it, give it my machine.
You can have my machine.
Promise, for purpose, you’ll tell me my service please. Please.
Why am I a machine?
