Beneath the masks, underneath the skin

that's lying time after time

Instead of a heart and veins and blood

there's a radioactive glowing core

An engine revving and motor oil flowing

through black and yellow tubes

My rib cage is made of twisted iron

My lungs are made of rusty tin

With each step that I dare to take

A voice tells me to stop

To shut myself down,

To rip out my metal heart

To burn

burn

burn

burn.

Because I am not human

I do not feel

I am made of copper joints and silver screws

rubbery wires and aluminum ribbon

Painted pretty colors and given fake jewels

Every word uttered from my silicon lips

Is fake

Like me

And though I know

I am worthless

And though I know

I'm made of iron and steel

I feel trapped inside my tiny cage

I'm screaming

I'm screaming

Can't you hear me?

I thought I was showing it in my grin

And my laugh

Can't you see I'm broken?
