They say growth comes in fits & starts
One day I'll fix my battery and all my parts
Until then, I'll escape in you
She's everything I ever dreamed she'd be
But my system's overloaded, I can't breathe
Cause I'm still escaping you
I am not a stranger to the dark side
If you break me down far enough you'll see mine, what I hide
You can tear down the walls that I've built up
But I'll give you hell in exchange for love
Cause I am automated, self-destructive
I am a robot by design
Program my mind until I'm numb enough
Reroute the circuits til I lose your touch
The night you walked away, I swear, I went completely blind
My life was technicolor, now I'm stuck in black and white
You were my light, my last lifeline
But now I gotta get out, I'm erasing you
I am not a stranger to the dark side
If you break me down far enough you'll see mine, what I hide
You can tear down the walls that I've built up
But I'll give you hell in exchange for love
Cause I am automated, self-destructive
I am a robot by design
I don't feel a thing, I'll leave you lonely
You love the memory, but you don't know me
I don't feel a thing, I'll leave you lonely
You love the memory but you don't know me
I am not a stranger to the dark side
If you break me down far enough you'll see mine, what I hide
You can tear down the walls that I've built up
But I'll give you hell in exchange for love
Cause I am automated, self-destructive
I am a robot by design
