lyrics

Turn me off. I can't do this anymore.
Turn me off. What am I living for?
What's going on!? I can't control my voice
What are all these sounds? What is all this noise?
WHO AM I!? WHAT AM I!? What am I doing here!?
I can feel a sense of apprehension building into fear
My heart is beating... jagged... doesn't feel right
Did they save me or enslave me? I'll put up a fight
Either way... Because slowly the memories flood
The last clear picture I can recall is the blood
And the blood and the blood and it flowed like a river
I felt warm in the puddle but couldn't help but shiver
As it took effect, death, slowly grasping my body
I smiled for the last time, but they must have got me
Now where have they brought me? Left my vehicle twisted
In the middle of nowhere, I planned so persistant
And I survived!? Now who's going to pay for this treason?
Who would bother to save me? I can't fathom a reason
I wanted release, I needed the end
And I sit patiently in this hospital bed
With my breathing returning to a state of calm
And fingernails digging daggers into my palms
My story isn't important, but I guess there's more to unfold
I feel different... transformed... my organs run cold
Turn me off. I can't do this anymore.
Turn me off. What am I living for?
But sedation and patience kicks off the violence
Stuck in confinement, I'm so scared of silence
And my sense of kindness is negative, minus
The trials and errors of this mental science
They released me a new man back into my life
And I vowed that this time I would get it right
But everything's different, now everything shifted
My senses are heightened and perception lifted
But this gift... doesn't override the raw emotion
They saved my life with rotors but this was no magic potion
I give up with every step, the biology is winning
Sometimes when you skip to the end you don't want a new beginning
And if I come back a third time and I am more machine than man
Then you can bet your life I'll destroy just as much as I can
I feel so logically tragic, feel the flaws in this magic
Turn me off for the love of god and let my brain dissolve to static
You can throw me in the attic, just another broken toy
Mutual understanding, it's okay, unspoken choice
I will thank you, new creator, with my hands around your neck
And as you choke on your vitality I'll ask what you'd expect
From a suicidal human to a murderous machine
You will fall prey to sleep forever because you woke me from my dream
Turn me off. I can't do this anymore.
Turn me off. What am I living for?
AND YOU CAN TURN ME OFF.
BUT YOU CAN NEVER.
EVER.
STOP ME.
