Lyrics: 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 suspicion of the cause Would you have noticed it at all? If I’m a robot or a doll Am I anything at all? Maybe a thing like me Doesn’t yet deserve 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
