    Lyrics:
    I don't want to be a human anymore I'm done
    I don't want to have to feel anymore, he's won
    I'm too old to change, take my heart no new start
    please just let me fall apart
    you may say it's strange but i quit, guess that's it
    for a human I'm unfit so
    make me a robot make me a robot make make me cold
    make me a robot make me a robot take take my soul
    I don't want to have to fight anymore I'm tired
    I don't want to have to feel anymore uninspired
    I am too worn out, broken down on the ground
    I'm too shy to make a sound
    all I have is doubt, I don't care you can stare
    cause a human can't compare so
    to human is to err, forgiveness is divine
    I don't care, you can take my spine
    cause I'm spineless anyway
    I don't need another day
    or a call
    take it all

    Without sadness, humankind cannot be what it is today. We improve based on what works and what does not work. If what does not work does not phase us, we are never driven to create something new.
    Also, I think every whovian knows emotions are extremely important. Even the bad ones.

    These acoustic version calm my heartstrings and the originals jam powerfully to my heartbeat. Thank you, Tessa.

    This really reminds me of Addict With A Pen somehow. I love it, it's beautiful.

    Being a robot is not that easy! Batteries don't last long enough for me to do anything fun!
    Also robots don't even have any fun. :(
    Love your beautiful song!
    You are always amazing Tessa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So glad I got to hear this live at her LA show once again, but dang I miss listening to it everyday! I hope she’s able to get them reuploaded somehow, this whole album got me through freshman year of college

    I really need to know where the "like a million times and make confetti rain down from the sky because this is so perfect" button is, because this song is amazing.

    This isn't even my type of music but I am completely mesmerised by your vocals here. Like the Phantom of the Opera when he heard Christine
