lyrics

Pray tell, now what the hell has happened here?
I made the alterations to survive
Feels like the world you know has disappeared
You kept us warm, but I kept us alive

Will you love me and my metallic mind?
For you my dear there’s nothing I won’t do
You balk but I won’t have you left behind
Even if I am monstrous to you.

Despite it all, my beating heart still pines
And were it made of steel I’d love you still
Even if a monster my mind’s still mine
I think. My soul is yours. Do what you will.

But tell, are you afraid to gaze on me?
Or are you afraid of what you could be?
