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

Is this evolution

A mechanical revolution

Are you dictating your final solution

A mechanical revolution 



Am I just not getting it
