Palisades – A.I. lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was once a time,
When I knew what I was made of,
Yeah, I had some veins they'd pump blood.
But then I realized that it's easier to be less alive,
And I've replaced my mind with some kind of machine
Dead inside.

[Chorus]
I like it better when I'm made of bolts,
No human flesh could withstand the threshold.
I recommend advice to all my friends,
You'll never have to be alone again!
I like it better when you're made of skin,
There's no way I'd be caught dead in that again.
Cause being real and having heart
Is something that I failed at from the start.

[Verse 2]
So I took my time, started slow,
Carefully removing.
Appendages, all the parts that broke,
And I was willfully replacing them with metal parts,
Cause it's easier without a heart.
And with iron lungs,
I can breath after all the deeds you've done.

[Chorus]
I like it better when I'm made of bolts,
No human flesh could withstand the threshold.
I recommend advice to all my friends,
You'll never have to be alone again!
I like it better when you're made of skin,
There's no way I'd be caught dead in that again.
Cause being real and having heart
Is something that I failed at from the start.

[Hook]
Replace my heart with a machine,
I left my body in the street,
So none of you can ever hurt me, hurt me.
Repair my head so I can think
About the way you treated me,
So none of you can ever hurt me.

[Bridge]
I never wanted this, never wanted this to be me.

[Outro]
I like it better when I'm made of bolts,
No human flesh could withstand the threshold.
I recommend advice to all my friends,
You'll never have to be alone again!
I like it better when you're made of skin,
There's no way I'd be caught dead in that again.
Cause being real and having heart
Is something that I failed at from the start.
