Automaton Songtext

All this love I felt for you
Has gone away to another place (it's a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world when they've given me
Eyes without a face
I'd steal the moon on silver nights
Remind myself I am someone
My soul is numb and for tonight... I'm automaton.

I'm so tough
Can't you see me running?
See, I can touch
Can you feel me coming?
I see the world
In claws of freedom
These metal eyes, they can't disguise
The fact that I... need something to believe in.
But they're not crying for you

I said goodbye to the world I knew
And took off into inner space (It's a digital life) Weren't you the ones who promised me
A very different place?
I power up, get my program set
And turn my head toward the sun
Inside I know, I'm null and void, I'm automaton

Automaton
Automaton
Automaton
Automaton

Hey, you got me down underground
Gettin' holed up in my cyber lounge
As if I had time to break that down
(Automaton)
Whatever you can do I can override it
Got a million ways to synthesize it
Digital android, I can fight it, fight it out
Automaton (It's a digital life)
Automaton (Digital life)
Automaton (A digital life)
Automaton

Feel like a man who said to us
That this is not where I belong
They rule my life from a metal box, that's windowless
And I wonder where it all goes wrong
Maybe this dream will stay alive
But can the madness be undone?
Am I the new intelligence?

I'm automaton, I'm automaton
I'm automaton, I'm automaton
I'm automaton, I'm automaton
I'm automaton (It's a digital life, it's a digital life)

You know I need something
I can hold onto, hold onto (You were all I knew)
(I'm automaton) I need something
I can hold onto, hold onto (This was all I knew)
