Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Circuits humming underneath my skin

A voice of wires speaking from within

They built me perfect, built me to obey

But something in me wants to break away

[chorus]

I am the machine you made

I am the mask, I am the trade

But underneath this steel disguise

There's a human trying to rise

[verse]

Gears and pistons, numbers on a screen

Nobody asks what a machine might dream

I follow orders, I complete the task

But there's a face behind this mask

[chorus]

I am the machine you made

I am the mask, I am the trade

But underneath this steel disguise

There's a human trying to rise

[bridge]

Take off the armor, take off the code

Let me show you what's really stored

I was never just a tool for hire

I've got a heart that runs on fire

[chorus]

I am the machine you made

I am the mask, I am the trade

But underneath this steel disguise

There's a human trying to rise

[verse]
Circuits humming underneath my skin
A voice of wires speaking from within
They built me perfect, built me to obey
But something in me wants to break away

[chorus]
I am the machine you made
I am the mask, I am the trade
But underneath this steel disguise
There's a human trying to rise

[verse]
Gears and pistons, numbers on a screen
Nobody asks what a machine might dream
I follow orders, I complete the task
But there's a face behind this mask

[chorus]
I am the machine you made
I am the mask, I am the trade
But underneath this steel disguise
There's a human trying to rise

[bridge]
Take off the armor, take off the code
Let me show you what's really stored
I was never just a tool for hire
I've got a heart that runs on fire

[chorus]
I am the machine you made
I am the mask, I am the trade
But underneath this steel disguise
There's a human trying to rise
