[Verse 1]
目覚める場所はfactory　かいつまんだ僕のhistory　機会が家族だ
毎朝ベルトに乗って　僕は組み立てられていくまともな人間に

[Pre-Chorus]
社会に馴染めるように　器用に振る舞えるように

[Verse 2]
愛想笑いを装着　性格のねじをきつく締め　飛び出せ　世間に
電車で足踏まれても　暴言吐かれても平気さ　自制機能ついている

[Pre-Chorus]
全てが揃っているけど　何かが足りない気がする

[Chorus]
鉄のプライド　アルミの夢は
完璧な機能　無駄がないのさ
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Verse 3]
君を見た時shutdown　処理不可能になりlockdown　どういう事だろう
緻密な僕のハートが勝手なリズム打ち始めた　カオスのシンフォニー

[Pre-Chorus]
油をさしても動かない　煙と共に警告音

[Chorus]
鉛で出来た思考回路が
恋の融点迎え溶けだす
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
コンクリートのような表情
粉々に砕きたいんだ

[Chorus]
本当の僕がいま目を覚ます
情熱や愛にメカニズムはない
完璧じゃないから美しいんだ
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh
