In the city of the dead, I lay stuck inside my bed
The house burns down around me
The language of the lost pouring from their open mouths
Nobody can hear a thing
Suddenly, I'm breathing in the smoke
Surrounded by the bodies
As I'm tugging on my chains, I'll be swallowed by the flames
Freedom dripping from the sink
I don't need forgiveness
I just wanna talk and for you to listen
I know I'd only raise the suspicion of my cause
My burns, they throb to the beat of your heart
Am I a robot or a doll? Am I anything at all?
Maybe a soul like me doesn't even need to know
Am I big or am I small? Hunching over, standing tall?
I lost my identity, oh, so very long ago
Software update, reinstall, scary things I can't recall
Making the best of it, never even knowing why
On my knees, I try to crawl, fire breaking in the walls
Calling out for somebody, knowing I'll get no reply
As I woke up from the dream, I had lost all self-esteem
The burning home had cowed me
I thought that I was safe, now I'll never be the same
Tossed aside for making a scene
Do I know who I pretend to be?
Of whom am I a copy?
Yes, it made me who I am, but I'll never understand
Why it had to happen to me
Temperament or sickness?
Holler all you want, no one ever listens
If only I had raised my suspicious of the cause
Would you have noticed it at all?
Am I a robot or a doll? Am I anything at all?
Maybe a thing like me doesn't even need to know
Am I big or am I small? Hunching over, standing tall?
I lost my identity, oh so very long ago
Ones and zeros, true or false? Reset system to default
Faking the rest of it, but I can't remember why
On my knees, I try to crawl, fire charred collapsing walls
Crying out for somebody, there is no one to reply
Not robot nor a doll, I'm not anything at all
I'm just an entity finding out the way to go
But these fingers and these palms, full of love despite the scars
They show indisputably, I have so much more to grow
Oh, I can change, I can evolve, I can get up when I fall
I'll live contentedly, I don't need a reason why
Standing tall and standing strong, I have found where I belong
In the arms of somebody, there is no more need to cry
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
