Better

Where did we go?\nWhen was the moment that we broke in two?\nI think I know\nIn fact I am sure I can blame it on you\nI remember the first big surprise\nThe day you came home with your infrared eyes\nI looked inside them, but all I could see\nWere tiny reflections of me But it’s not me, it’s you\nWhat you’re turning into\nYou’re some kind of something\nThat I never knew\nYou used to be okay\nAnd I liked you that way\nBut I don’t think that I like you better\nNo I don’t think that I like you better\nStarted out small\nSome gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs\nNow you’re thirteen feel tall\nEven when you’re asleep your machinery hums\nAnd I’m tired of the evenings I spend\nMaking small talk with your new robot friends\nAnd their stupid insistence on scanning my iris\nWhen they know damn well who I am And you look like a victim of a surgical crime\nA little Darth Vader, little Optimus Prime\nYou used to be okay\nAnd I liked you that way\nBut I don’t think that I like you better\nNo I don’t think that I like you better\nSo that’s how it goes\nSnap your mandibles once to say you understand\nNow hold me close\nWait, now that’s too close, you’re crushing my hand\nI can tell by that shrieking alarm\nThat your weapon systems are active and on Do me a favor, power them down, just so we don’t have a scene\nAnd I wish it was different but it’s just not the same\nAt least we’ve got someone we know we can blame\nYou used to be okay\nAnd I liked you that way\nBut I don’t think that I like you better\nNo I don’t think that I like you better
