Verse 1:
Am Am
in the city of the dead, i stay stuck inside my bed,
Dm Am
the house burns down around me,
Dm Am
the language of the lost pouring from their open mouths,
E Am
nobody can hear a thing,
Am
suddenly i’m breathing in the smoke,
Dm Am
surrounded by the bodies,
Dm Am
as i’m tugging on the chains, i’ll be swallowed by the flames,
E Am
freedom dripping from the sink,
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Am
i don’t need forgiveness,
Dm Am
i just wanna talk and for you to listen,
Dm Am E
i know i’d only raise the suspicion of my cause,
E E
my burns, they throb to the beat of your heart,
Chorus:
Dm G C Am
am i a robot or a doll? am i anything at all?
Dm G C E
maybe a soul like me, doesn’t even need to knooooow,
Dm G C Am
am i big or am i small? hunching over, standing tall?
Dm G C
i lost my identity, oh, so very long ago,
Dm G C Am
software update, reinstall, scary things i can’t recall,
Dm G C E
making the best of it, never even knowing whyyyyy,
Dm G C Am
on my knees, i try to crawl, fire breaking in the walls,
Dm G C
calling out for somebody, knowing i’ll get no reply,
Verse 2:
Am Am
as i woke up from the dream, i had lost all self-esteem,
Dm Am
the burning home had cowed me,
Dm Am
i thought that i was safe, now i’ll never be the same,
E Am
tossed aside for making a scene,
Am
do i know who i pretend to be?
Dm Am
of whom am i a copy?
Dm Am
yes, it made me who i am, but i’ll never understand,
E Am
why it had to happen to me,
Pre-Chorus:
Dm Am
temperament or sickness,
Dm Am
holler all you want, no one ever listens,
Dm Am E
if only i had raised my suspicion of the cause,
E E
would you have noticed it at all?
Chorus:
Dm G C Am
am i a robot or a doll? am i anything at all?
Dm G C E
maybe a thing like me, doesn’t yet deserve to knooooow,
Dm G C Am
am i big or am i small? hunching over, standing tall?
Dm G C
i lost my identity, oh, so very long ago,
Dm G C Am
ones and zeros, true or false? reset system to default,
Dm G C E
faking the rest of it, but i can’t remember whyyyyy,
Dm G C Am
on my knees, i try to crawl, fire charred collapsing walls,
Dm G C
crying out for somebody, there is no one to reply,
Dm G C Am x2
Bridge:
Dm G C Am
not a robot nor a doll? im not anything at all?
Dm G C E
i’m just an entity finding out the way to goooooo,
Dm G C Am
but these fingers and these palms, full of love despite the scars,
Dm G C
they show indisputably, i have so much more to grow,
Dm G C Am
oh i can change, i can evolve, i can get up when i fall,
Dm G C E
i’ll live contentedly, i don’t need a reason whyyyyy,
Dm G C Am
standing tall and standing strong, i have found where i belong,
Dm G C
in the arms of somebody, there is no more need to cry,
