This is how you give up (a clever disguise)

a lack of vocal chords and self esteem
make for a clever disguise,
but it's not hard to see the man who lives
is the man who dies
so he would rather be a robot
so that he has no feeling at all,
on the outside he is growing
but in his mind he still stands small
this is how you give up before you try
do you want to?
do you want to die?
so peel back his skin to reveal within,
cut it up, and send it off.
break his bones, pull out his veins.and replace them with metal framework and electric machinery,
and take his life.
break his neck,
to kill his brain.
this is how you give up before you try.
do you want to?
do you want to die?
erase his mind.
keep his conscience clear, oh...
replace them with ones and zeroes.
