I think I might be a robot

I think I might be a robot

Marching along a designated path
Constant and continuous
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot

I think I might be a robot

An exhausted robot
Fatigued and strained
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot
My own steps irritate me
Hurting and shrinking me
Smaller
Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot
And smaller

I don't want to do this anymore, I whisper
Right foot, left foot, right foot
Stop, I ask
Right foot, left foot
Please, I beg
Stop! I scream
Right foot, left foot

They won't let me
Ever smaller every step
But I can't stop

I think I might be a robot

Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot

I think I am a robot
