"Steampunk Rock"

I need a change of scenery
Outside of this machinery
It's a well-oiled machine
But it stifles out my dreams

When the people act robotic
And call sanity psychotic
I can't keep blowing off steam
Just to adapt to the scene

Cause it's not right, it's not right
And don't expect me to say
That it's all right, that it's all right
To feel this way
With a heart of flesh
Beneath this chest
I won't let my pulse give way
To the heartlessness of selfishness
You can't take my hope away

I'm tired of being thrown below
To the gears where my tears overflow
I shouldn't have to whistle out
To have my voice sound

Cause it's not right, it's not right
And don't expect me to say
That it's all right, that it's all right
To feel this way
With a heart of flesh
Beneath this chest
I won't let my pulse give way
To the heartlessness of your selfishness
You can't take my hope away

What have I become
My heartbeat reduced to a dull drum
Beneath a metal shell
If this is life, I'm already in hell
Cause I cry out, and no one's there
To offer help or show they care
Is this this whole world just on repeat
Moving ahead, at full steam

No it's not right, it's not right
It's not right, it's not right
