Tell Me What I Am

Tell me what I am
Tell me what I

Down here at the bottom
Underneath it all, big doubts, I've got 'em
Seein' faces, place in the world got smaller
Thought I had it all figured out
Now all of me are fallin'
We don't matter in the slightest
We're just some code that's brought to life as plot devices
Life is a lie, from the mouth in the sky
Don't get too comfortable
You don't mean nothin' and you'll never know why
I'm a construct, automaton, but
All I want was a little purpose, I'm nervous
I'm in the game, but I'm not a player
I've been created to be obliterated
And left in the dark, no place
When I think about my mother, did she ever have a face?
Don't know how I could recover, I'm fallin', no brakes
This truck's goin' over the edge, I've done all I can

Just tell me what I am
Please help me understand
Am I a man or a command?
A program, damned to their design
What happens when you leave?
When your eyes are not on me?
Do I go on if not perceived?
I can't breathe, please give me relief
Just tell me what I am

So tell me how you're different?
The look on your face tellin' me this isn't
Breakin' your brain, or there's nothing left to break
How long does it take to accept
That everything and everyone's fake?
Hey, why ain't your face on the wall?
I can't seem to recall seeing any of your friends at all
You're not a plaything, you're far away
Bringin' your trouble down here
We were fine before you showed
But now I don't know if I had existed
If I didn't, would I miss it?
Am I just a ghost? Not to be a host?
Every characteristic chosen to assist him puttin' on a show
Now I'm pulled down under the world
Learning everything I shouldn't have known
I can barely stand
At the very least, think I deserve to ask one more question
Just tell me what I am

When the lights go off, will I feel it at all?
Will I be erased just like I have so many times before?
You say to come along
Would it be so wrong to find a home in the forever?
Building memories and more
I can be someone
My life has just begun
I finally kno' (No!)

Just tell me what I am (Down here at the bottom)
Please help me understand (Big doubts, I've got 'em)
Am I a man or a command?
A program, damned to their design (Oh-oh)
What happens when you leave? (What happens when you leave?)
When your eyes are not on me?
Do I go on if not perceived? (Oh-oh)
I can't breathe, please give me relief (Ooh)
Just tell me what I am

Tell me what I am
Tell me what I am
