I saw the mirror staring back at me And it told me I'm a self machine I saw the mirror staring back at me And it told me I'm a self machine It said I gave you these scars And I gave you these wounds I told you the false And I showed you the truth I saw the mirror staring back at me And it told me I'm a self machine Lonely robot in a wasteland, rusting in a lonely harbour Lonely robot in a wasteland rusting in the harbour's water I'm not a human if you say I'm not I'm not a human if my hinges lock And this motor that you call my heart Is another machine that won't stop And the impression of my self machine The word was spoken and it was foreseen Now we're too well too bothered in between A pic so lost on my computer screen Lonely robot in a wasteland, rusting in a lonely harbour Lonely robot in a wasteland rusting in the harbour's water I'm not a human if you say I'm not I'm not a human if my hinges lock And this motor that you call my heart Is another machine that won't stop Wait harbor, wait Water still, water still And shake, the ground will shake Out stand still, out stand still Lonely robot in a wasteland, rusting in a lonely harbour Lonely robot in a wasteland rusting in the harbour's water I'm not a human if you say I'm not I'm not a human if my hinges lock And this motor that you call my heart Is another machine that won't stop I'm not a human if you say I'm not I'm not a human if my hinges lock And this motor that you call my heart Is another machine that won't stop
