System Error

I am a machine

Built by sin and fueled by the fires of gasoline

I am the son of no man

Someone cast out, the bastard child of some protocol design.

All these wires inside tare through my humanity; who will wake me when I've lost all sanity?

They say my programming was built to exceed but all the demons I have buried within are starting to win are causing me to recede

Of this to you I woefully plea

Find me and fucking set me free!

I'm as numb as a machine, I don't think I want to be me...

Is it the machine or just another system error?

Bleed me dry and all you'll find is wires

Turning to ash surrounded by the fires.

My program has got me all caught up in between

My humanity and my machine

The man in me and all that's yet to be seen

This I tell you is the pain of the heart upon it's wearer.

Is it the machine or just another system error?

They push another production line

Just to make more slaves of the same twisted design

I'm just another one of the unclean.

Turning into another faceless machine.

Silent just as I was sold I'm programmed to do as I'm told.

Obedient till I rust, a slave till I'm dust.

Is it the machine or just another system error?

Bleed me dry and all you'll find is wires

Turning to ash surrounded by the fires.

My program has got me all caught up in between

My humanity and my machine

The man in me and all that's yet to be seen

This I tell you is the pain of the heart upon it's wearer.

Is it the machine or just another system error?

Starting to disconnect from all that's been left unchecked.

Fought this machine my whole life but to no avail.

Computing is failing and my mind is stuck in fucking hell.

We're all tormented by the terror that all this might just be another system

Error....
