[Verse 1]
Chrome hearts on my neck, engine revs in my head
Watching DJ's spin while my heart fills with dread
Daddy taught me to fight, but never taught me to cry
Now I'm glitching out, watching memories fly by
[Chorus]
I'm a f*cked up machine, half boy, half screen
Distorted bass line running through my veins
Break me down to bits, put me back again
I'm not the man they want me to be, yeah
Not the man they want me to be
[Verse 2]
Marcus got pushed around, I showed them what's what
But underneath my fists, my soul was cut up
Community center basement, learning how to pretend
Acting tough while my heart's 'bout to bend
Garage beats stutter like my words back then
Too scared to speak, too scared to let them in
[Bridge]
(Whispered)
"Are you okay?" "I'm fine, I'm fine"
Digital tears in binary time
Breaking down walls with every glitch
Who said boys can't be a beautiful bitch?
[Chorus]
I'm a f*cked up machine, half boy, half screen
Distorted bass line running through my veins
Break me down to bits, put me back again
I'm not the man they want me to be, yeah
Not the man they want me to be
[Verse 3]
Steel-toed boots but I dance like a dream
Factory sounds make my perfect scream
Dad's old truck taught me how to roar
But these beats taught me there's so much more
Glitching out in this concrete maze
Finding beauty in this digital haze
Working class hero in pixel form
Creating art from the perfect storm
[Outro]
(Distorted)
Watch me break, watch me flow
Everything I am, everything I know
F*ck your rules about being a man
I'll build myself from this broken plan
Machine heart with a human soul
Glitch by glitch, I'm becoming whole
