[Verse 1]
It's hard to see
That you wanna be free
'Cause I don't love you
In the way that you want me to

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean
Out of emotion for you

[Chorus]
I'm a machine
An emotional being
Since I was a teen
Cut my feelings off clean, clean

[Verse 2]
It's no excuse
To treat me like you do
My perception is skewed
'Cause I know what you went through

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut from devotion, lost in an ocean
Out of emotion for you

[Chorus]
I'm a machine
An emotional being
Since I was a teen
Cut my feelings off clean, clean

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Did you ever truly love me?
(Did you ever truly love me?)
Were you just too scared to be free?
(Are you just too scared to be free?)
My God is dying silently (My God is dying silently)
Nobody believes, nobody believes

[Chorus]
I'm a machine (Oh)
An emotional being (Oh)
Since I was a teen (Oh)
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
I'm a machine
(Should I pretend that you didn't exist?)
An emotional being
(Should I act like you're somebody I miss?)
Since I was a teen
(A velvet glove around an iron fist)
Cut my feelings off clean, clean
(If you wanna survive, then ignorance is bliss)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
