Metal

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 you.
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.
