Plastic Eyes

Is this some strange disease,

That I cannot fall asleep with ease?

Or is this just me,

Whatever I may be?

I've found my song,

I'll leave it on repeat all night long.

I am but a robot,

Am I not?

Is it far too drastic

To say my eyes are only made of plastic?

But that is how they feel,

A strange shade of teal.

It's so funny,

But I'll never laugh.

You can steal my money,

It won't make me sad.

I leave the makeup on all night,

But it won't be smudged,

Not even in the slight.

My eyes are made of plastic.

A strange shade of teal.

My mind is made of fire,

But nothing is made of steel.
