Alien inside

Why didn't you tell me how messed up I'd be,
before I asked you for this misadventure?
Can't remember the last I felt free,
with the weight of the baggage I'm carryin'...

Expectations...
have made me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.
Expectations...
have me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.

I know nothing of this was ever meant for me.
Why did you forget to flash that "conditions apply"?
Although I know a chunk that you did show me,
had been fudged with all over in between.

Expectations...
have made me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.
Expectations...
have me a machine...
Obligations...
are splitting my genes.

Left alone since the one within me died,
I am a human with an alien inside.
I've been stretched so much...
tore most of my skin,
since I committed that crime...
since I turned eighteen.

Expectations...
have made me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.
Expectations...
have me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.

Can't feel a thing underneath my feet...
still I'm walkin'.
Resisting every bit of me...
I'm survivin'.

Expectations...
have made me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.
Expectations...
have me a machine...
Obligations...
are breaking my genes.
