Lyrics
Emotional Machine
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.
It's hard to see
That you wanna be free
'Cause I don't love you
In the way that you want me to
Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean
Out of emotion for you
I'm a machine
Unemotional being
Since I was a teen
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
It's no excuse
To treat me like you do
My perception is skewed
'Cause I know what you went through
Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean
Out of emotion for you
I'm a machine
Unemotional being
Since I was a teen
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
Did you ever truly love me?
(Did you ever truly love me?)
Were you just too scared to be free?
(Are you just too scared to be free?)
My God is dying silently (my God is dying silently)
Nobody believes, nobody believes
I'm a machine
Unemotional being
Since I was a teen
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
I'm a machine
(Should I pretend that you didn't exist?)
Unemotional being
(Should I act like you're somebody I miss?)
Since I was a teen
(A velvet glove around an iron fist)
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
(If you wanna survive, then ignorance is bliss)
