Ethan James Young - Better As a Machine Lyrics

An eye is better than a camera
Unless it's to recall you smiling at me
(wish you were smiling at me)
An ear is better than a microphone
Unless it's to replay you flirting with me
(wish you were flirting with me)
My mind's great at remembering
Until the memory's fake
My body’s great at building
Until I try to recreate
Shortcomings outnumber my talents
Since I make a lousy human being
Existing is better in the flesh and bone
Until you’re cut and start profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine
An eye is better than a camera
Unless it's to delete pics of you walking away
(Why are you walking away?)
An ear is better than a microphone
Unless it's to mute the echoes of what you say
(Can still hear what you say)
My mind's great at forgetting
Until the memory holds Pain
My body's great at fighting
Until it’s you I try to eliminate
Shortcomings outnumber my talents
Since I make a lousy human being
Existing is better in the flesh and bone
Until you’re cut and start profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine
A mouth is better than a speaker
Until it's trying to say I'm sorry
(Wish I said that way sooner)
I could say that you were always right
If I was a prideless prototype
A heart is good at keeping it's beat
But terrible at controlling its feelings
(I can’t control these feelings)
A bad place to put all of your love
But a good way to keep messing up
Maybe I never meant to fall in love
Since I am a lousy human being
Some days I wish that I never met you
Then there’d be no cuts profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine

An eye is better than a camera
Unless it's to recall you smiling at me
(wish you were smiling at me)
An ear is better than a microphone
Unless it's to replay you flirting with me
(wish you were flirting with me)
My mind's great at remembering
Until the memory's fake
My body’s great at building
Until I try to recreate
Shortcomings outnumber my talents
Since I make a lousy human being
Existing is better in the flesh and bone
Until you’re cut and start profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine
An eye is better than a camera
Unless it's to delete pics of you walking away
(Why are you walking away?)
An ear is better than a microphone
Unless it's to mute the echoes of what you say
(Can still hear what you say)
My mind's great at forgetting
Until the memory holds Pain
My body's great at fighting
Until it’s you I try to eliminate
Shortcomings outnumber my talents
Since I make a lousy human being
Existing is better in the flesh and bone
Until you’re cut and start profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine
A mouth is better than a speaker
Until it's trying to say I'm sorry
(Wish I said that way sooner)
I could say that you were always right
If I was a prideless prototype
A heart is good at keeping it's beat
But terrible at controlling its feelings
(I can’t control these feelings)
A bad place to put all of your love
But a good way to keep messing up
Maybe I never meant to fall in love
Since I am a lousy human being
Some days I wish that I never met you
Then there’d be no cuts profusely bleeding
Wish I were a man made out of metal
Then I would be fine to take the beating
I'd be much better
So much better as a machine
