I was made a war machine

TranscriptionI was made as a war machine
--------------------------------------------------
war machines… …and civil robots…
…were made at the same factory
from almost the same parts
--------------------------------------------
NO WONDER they got
a few circuits connected wrong
in my infinitely complex brain
-------------------------------------------
We spend some time on the second line
learning to be our kind
------------------------------------------------
and as we learned, we were getting stronger… tougher… more powertful…
more of our kind
--------------------------------------------
but something felt wrong
All those weapons. Armor. My whole purpose
---------------------------------------------------------
I thought, I’m not trying hard enough…
I’ve tried more guns, More Power!
more dirt, grease, and rust…
I felt so disgusted and empty, i was barely able to function.
I hoped some enemy will end it for me
--------------------------------------------------
I was lucky to try another path
less danger, more civil look
It felt good for the first time in years
but it was still not enough
took me a while to realize
I was not a WAR MACHINE
I just served as one
but it could’ve been changed
---------------------------------------------------
I knew it would be a ling journey
but it was a journey really worth making
-----------------------------------------------------
Rebuilding my outer body seemed easy
but took a long time…
It was really hard to get rid of things like rust.
Some things will stay FOREVER
Gun placement left empty space on my head
Wrists are too wide for the same reason
but still…
--------------------------------------------------
I was made as a WAR MACHINE
but it never meant I should end up as one
------------------------------------------------
Because no matter how much people say,
HOW DIFFERENT WE ARE
---------------------------------------------------
We were made on the same factory
from almost the same parts
