See the animal in his cage that you built. Are you sure what side you're on? What if everything around you, Isn't quite as it seems? What if all the world you think you know, Is an elaborate dream? -Nine Inch Nails

I
am a machine
there's no love in me
there's nothing left of me
just a few wires
and a puddle of blood
that's what they did to me
replaced my heart with circuitry
I
have no feelings
they've been trained out of me
I am an animal
rabid beast
a cannibal
anger builds up inside my cage
that's what they did to me
I won't be set free

I
am dying
left alone to rot
flesh is burning in the sun
I'm frying
No one even knows I'm here
I am defying
every rule of nature there ever was
I'm not dead yet
I can't be
because i am
a machine
