I, Robot
Shadows, Strings, and the Silent Struggle

Under the bright neon lights of the city’s frigid embrace, Lost in the darkness, following nighttime fantasies, The clockwork heart pulses in monotonous struggle. Like a robot, I’m going through the motions.
Every painted grin, every tight-fitting facade In the lack of light, the cracks are hidden. In the midst of the nothingness, silent cries resonate. Like a robot, I’m going through the motions.
The iron grasp of Routine, a mechanical vice The boring instruction has soulless echoes. In lifeless scripted discussions, Like a robot, I’m going through the motions.
A vacant stare in the mirror’s reflection A puppet in a world trapped in a labyrinth Strings yanked by conformity and sliced like a knife Like a robot, I’m going through the motions.
But, amid the solitude, a revolt stirs inside, breaking free from the bonds that bind life, Awakening the spirit, putting a stop to conflict Breaking free of the movements, no longer acting like a robot.
