[English]

the suspicion of my cause

my burns, they throb

to the beat of your heart

would you have noticed it at all?

if i'm a

robot or a doll?

am i anything at all?

maybe a soul like me

doesn't even need to know

am i big, or am i small?

hunching over, standing tall?

i lost my identity

oh so very long ago

software/update, reinstall

scary things i can't recall

making the best of it

never even knowing why

on my knees, i try to crawl

fire breaking in the walls

calling out for somebody

knowing i'll get no reply
