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 aren¹t 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
