Emotions Can Be Hard to Process

He always had an inkling, a tingling

Every single signal blinking twinkling inside his cranium

When he was on the brink of thinking things

Some wires weren't connected right

His eyes had no reflective light

Pensive, almost mechanized, collecting reflexive stimuli

Sometimes his stomach throbbed, these dummies all were unevolved

Melancholy cumbersome redundant slobs

He barely saw the sun at all because his job

The stress and lack of social life without someone to hold him tight

Kept him up for most the night

Emotionless and almost motorized on overdrive

When coping with the open light

He watched to the mirror while taking his clothes off

Folding his socks, alone with his own thoughts

"Huh, maybe I am a robot"

Emotions can be hard to process

But we are more than the sum of our contents

It gives us an odd sense of progress

When we are not viewed as just objects

Emotions can be hard to process

But we are more than the sum of our contents

It gives us an odd sense of progress

When we are not viewed as just objects

To consider such a thought was frivolous in part

But gave the littlest of shivers in his heart

Sick of it, just to have considered it at all, he shook it off

"Huh, a robot"

That would explain a lot, but he just played it off

Took it like a grain of salt

A grain of salt that ate away as the day went on 'til he could hear it in the way he talked

"Huh, a robot"

It kept running through his head while watching his programs

No goals, no plans, alone and a grown man

He started looking at the bones of his hand

"Dot, dot, dot, a robot"

It's worth mentioning that he was off his meds again

Tensions setting in, the knife sitting next to him, he pressed against the skin

Pressed hard until he pressed it in

And for those who may guess, guess again

He was nothing special, just another messed up kid who's dead again

"Huh, a robot"

Emotions can be hard to process

But we are more than the sum of our contents

It gives us an odd sense of progress

When we are not viewed as just objects

Emotions can be hard to process

But we are more than the sum of our contents

It gives us an odd sense of progress (Robot)

When we are not viewed as just objects (Robot)

A robot

Maybe I am a robot
