Lyrics
Metal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're in the building
Where they make us grow
And I'm frightened by
The liquid engineers
Like you
My Mallory heart
Is sure to fail
I could crawl around the floor
Just like I'm real
Like you
The sound of metal
I want to be
You
I could learn to be a man
Like yo
Plug me in
And turn me on
Oh everything is moving.
I need my treatment
It's tomorrow they send me
Singing 'I am an American'.
Do you?
Picture this
If I could make the change
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
Did you?
And who are you
And how can I try
Here inside I like metal
Aren't you
All I know
Is no-one dies
I'm still confusing love with need
