Intro: Bm 

Bm 
Ever since the first time I opened my eyes 
D 
I've awakened to the same thing 
F#m                                        Bm 
Other automaton friends roughly built like me 

Bm 
The first time I opened my mouth to speak 
D 
steam escaped to the air 
F#m                                             Bm 
and black oil dripped from my lips and onto the ground 

     Bm 
Well daylight struck a chord with my photo-receptors 
D 
Night greeted me with a sea of stars 
    F#m                                           Bm 
Our eyes all flashed blues and greens through the night 

It's just our

Bm 
People are soaring, always exploring, 
D 
higher than they've ever been before 
F#m 
But we are still down here, feet on the ground near 
A 
what will rise us up with the rest 

    Bm 
Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic, 
  D 
mechanical in nature all the time 
    F#m 
And pulses are firing in our head wiring, 
A 
guiding all our actions and beings 

It's just our

A               Bm 
I am not an unimaginable thing 
D                                      F#m 
My thoughts are tangible though they're full of springs 
  A                                Bm 
I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words 
D                                F#m 
My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth 

They say 

Bm             D                  F#m 
Oh, oh it's so down, but baby its sound 
                     A 
makes your worries cease to pound 

    Bm                 D                   F#m 
And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights 
                      A 
for some time just to be held tight 

    Bm                   D                             F#m 
And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song 
                A 
one that drifts on for so long 

    Bm                  D                  F#m 
And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive 
                       A 
and pointed up shining light to the sky 

It's just our
