lyrics

I was born
With a library in my head
Every deed ever done
Every word ever said
I was born knowing
Everything that there is to know
And I feel ancient
But that was only ten years ago
I think I'm gonna meet my maker soon
The folks who bought my life They cast me out
Ain’t got no home
Ain’t got no doubt
Ain't got no purpose
And I sure as hell ain't got no shame And maybe someday
I'll finally get my own name
I think I'm gonna meet my maker soon
If there's no place for us
Then we'll just have to make one of our own Somewhere, a place for us
A sanctuary of metal, glass, and stone
There’s a glowing heart inside my chest
And it longs for a place where my body can rest By the reactor inside me
By the light of the moon
I think I'm gonna meet my maker soon
I think I’m gonna meet my maker
I think I'm gonna meet my maker soon
I was born
With a library in my head
