Lyrics

[Intro]
Am I man machine or beast?
[Verse 1]
My heart's been disabled, my coding's unstable
With circuits removed and replaced
Will no longer bleed, I'm just programmed to feed off
Destruction, I leave in my wake
[PreChorus]
Why was I made a machine?
How can I become complete?
If I'm not perfect, then I'll be replaced
I've become the enemy
How can I become complete?
I feel my sanity starting to break
[Chorus]
Can somebody tell me
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
[Verse 2]
With spirit corrupted, transmission's disrupted
I know that my flaws seal my fate
Forced to suffer in pain as I relive mistakes
Played on loop till my data's erased
[PreChorus]
Why was I made a machine?
How can I become complete?
If I'm not perfect, then I'll be replaced
I've become the enemy
How can I become complete?
I feel my sanity starting to break
[Chorus]
Can somebody tell me
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
[Verse 3]
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
[Verse 4]
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look at me
The changes have just begun
Look at what I've become
Look
[Bridge]
Am I worthy in your eyes?
Can I have a second try?
I start to feel like I'm floating away
Am I man, machine, or beast?
[PreChorus]
I've become the enemy
Will I ever be complete?
I feel my sanity starting to break
[Chorus]
Can somebody tell me
Can somebody tell me
Am I man machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
Am I man, machine, or beast?
