[Verse 1]
I saw the mirror staring back at me
And it told me I'm a self machine
I saw the mirror staring back at me
And it told me I'm a self machine
It said I gave you these scars
And I gave you these wounds
I told you the false
And I showed you the truth
I saw the mirror staring back at me
And it told me I'm a self machine
[Chorus]
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor's water
I'm not a human if you say I'm not
I'm not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
[Verse 2]
And the impression of my self machine
The word was spoken and it was foreseen
And I am powered by this gasoline
My eyes lit up as if by carnosine
See constellations and stars
And the powers that be
Engaged in a dance, this robotic routine
Are we two worlds apart or in between?
A pixel lost on the computer screen
[Chorus]
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor's water
I'm not a human if you say I'm not
I'm not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
[Bridge]
Wait, harbor, wait
Water still, water still
And shake, the ground will shake
Earth, stand still, Earth, stand still
[Chorus]
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in a lonely harbor
Lonely robot in a wasteland
Rusting in the harbor's water
I'm not a human if you say I'm not
I'm not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
Won't stop
[Outro]
I'm not a human if you say I'm not
I'm not a human if my hinges lock
And this motor that you call my heart
Is another machine that won't stop
