Man of Steel

I’m made of steel
So why do you come at me?
When I’m cold
You recoil and scream your fear
I do what everyone tells me to
So why do you keep telling me to be good?

I’m tactless say whatever comes up in my mind
It stings you whenever I open up my mouth
You tell me to stop behaving this cold way
I’m helpless cause’ it’s the way I was raised

I get up every day hoping it’s my last
I curse it whenever the sun comes up
They tell me I shouldn’t be feeling what I feel
They point fingers at my rusting steel

I’m depressed, I’m not allowed to have any flaws
When I say I’m hopeless, they reply “hang on”
I’m robot, I only say things I’m programmed
So who wrote errors in my head?
Why am I suddenly feeling this way?
As if I’m human, as if I feel pain?

When I refuse you, you fume with boiling rage
But when I’m helpless, you’re the first in line to let me drown
So tell me why I should I be helping you?
All your circus friends close their eyes when I’m blue

They cherish the union that makes no sense
I say I feel some kind of divergence in myself
They get mad at my truth
And storm with pitchforks through the woods
They tie me to the nearest tree and light me up
I’m burning cause’ I wasn’t made of what they were made

And every time I scream about an unlawful act
They put back on their shining masks
But when it’s one of them, the whole town is awake
Searching for the one, blaming anyone, putting it on a race
I’m made of steel
So why do you come at me?
