lyrics

If I draw around my eyes - can you see them?
If I stick eyelashes on - will I thrive?
If I colour my lips in - am I understood?
If I paint my cheekbones on - do I look alive?
Am I alive?

I go out into the world - as a replica
I leave my true self behind
It’s preserved and un-deterred by the mean old world
Am I alive?

I forgot how to be myself - I’m just a replica
My body’s numb and my mind needs help - I’m just a replica
I’ve lost empathy for myself - I’m just a replica
And I want my old body back
I want my old body back

I made a wish - I wanted to feel less
I tried potions so emotions would subside
Til one day I saw my old self trapped behind glass
I couldn’t get to the other side

I forgot how to be myself - I’m just a replica
My body’s numb and my mind needs help - I’m just a replica
I’ve lost empathy for myself - I’m just a replica
And I want my old body back
I want my old body back

The machine will teach me to be human
The machine will teach me how to be
The machine will teach me to be human
The machine
The machine will make me human
