The Faint
Automaton
[Verse 1]
I might bet I've got control of my body
I might guess I choose the way that I move
I could take the credit, but if I'm honest
My body seems to choose

[Verse 2]
Like a dress knows what to do when the wind blows
Campfire flames don't have a need to repeat
You and I do what we do when the time comes
We're patterns in the breeze

[Chorus]
I'm automatic
Mechanistic
My nature can't admit it

[Verse 3]
Is it me pushing the pump for blood flow?
Is it me growing the hair that I got?
Sure, my lungs do work while I'm sleeping
But do I control my thoughts?

[Chorus]
I'm automatic
Mechanistic
My nature can't admit it
[Verse 4]
But focusing on my problems
Hardly seems to solve them
I'm tired of hunting drama
I'm learning to live by karma
