Auto Pilot
It is not enough
For you to want to save me
Not even all your love
Could serve to liberate me
So flee from me in fear
Do not allow your emotions to be stirred
Dry your eyes of their empathic tears
They will only leave your vision blurred
For I am a soulless mechanism
seeking only my own gratification
A force of powerful pessimism
My life a result of such manifestation
So sweet of you to offer your light
But my void will blot it out
You can't illuminate the darkness inside
Into the darkness I will drag you down
This isn't who I wanted to be
It's who I've become just the same
Your eyes may be open but you'll never see
And I can no further explain
