Heartbeat that's lost in the creaking of steel

Teaching and training yourself not to feel

Here is what I see

Human turning into machine

And you're safe in those places where no-one can go

Locked-up and shuttered in it's total control

And I know how it feels

'Cause I lived there for years

But you try and you'll see

It's beautiful to be free

I wasn't born with a metal breast plate

You grow your protection and you learn how to hate

And I'm calling the bluff

I know you better

You arenÃ'¹t so tough

Are you inanimate

Do you rely

On manipulation

So you'll look alive

Are you automatic

What turns you on

Buttons and switches

Or lovers and songs

Lover, I've been wasting my time

Riddling, puzzling, searching your eyes

When all I can see

It's turbines and pistons where a man used to be

Am I just not getting it

Is this evolution

A mechanical revolution

Are you dictating your final solution

A mechanical revolution

Am I just not getting it

Is this evolution

A mechanical revolution

Are you dictating your final solution

A mechanical revolution
