I need to become an automaton.
I need to become an actor
Because if I show them my emotions
I know that they will make me shatter.
I cannot be an automaton.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
The stone walls around it weighs a ton
To keep out insincere thieves.
Sometimes I wish I were an automaton.
But I'll settle with being an actor.
I can never be emotionless like a baton,
My heart is always the deciding factor.
