lyrics

Well, I've took myself a knife,
And I'll cut and you'll suffer for it,
But I won't take you alive,
Or at any time,

Why would she ever want to keep the pace?,
With my Electronic Heartbeat,
Why would I ever want to love again?,
With my Electronic Heartbeat,
I am a robot, stuck in skin,
With my Electronic Heartbeat,
Why would I ever want to love again?,
With my Electronic Heartbeat,

I took out all the pain, stuck in my blood and veins,
Sealed with tin and tape, new batteries and shame,
All I ever wanted was a heart to keep,
But I had to give it back, now it never beats,

Stuck on a fashionable beat,
It sounds just like repeat,
I recall from time to time,
Some fragmented memories,
Like a switch inside of me,
The feeling I'm missing the key,
And I'll never get old,
But it grows and grows.
