Perfect Robot

I am sick and tired of being me At least the parts that you all see Nothing else makes any sense I wish that I could take a stand Make you all understand Why I try so very hard Just to please my ungrateful mom Nothing matters anyway So why live for one more day What else can you see If you look deep within me? A tortured soul no path to walk A silent mouth no words to talk A perfect robot day in day out A pretty face no room to shout A silky complexion as cold as ice A smile with no sacrifice Laughter faking is a game One that will receive no fame I’m sorry has no meaning Even if it is sincere Nothing else matters especially here Forever filled with silence Tomorrow is just a day Nothing to hold onto Today is how we stay Forever is a mystery And the past is history What matters isn’t how you live Or what you have to overcome You are the paper and the pen Life is the story you haven’t told A perfect robot day in day out Three more years I cannot shout Then I get to walk away Forever me another day.
