I never chose this life, but no-one lives it like me
I could oppose this life but this is how it seems it's got to be
I can never be alone - you're always watching me
No corner left to hide - I can't avoid your scrutiny
I don't wanna perform for you
A plaything for your observation
My existence doesn't seem real
I'm just a simulation
I never chose to be last of those who came before me
But I'm supposed to be all that you expect of me
I can never be myself - you're always guiding me
Governing my every move, listing all I have to prove.
I don't wanna be controlled by you
A plaything for your recreation
My existence doesn't seem real
I'm just a simulation
Choose my words and choose my clothes
Like a diamond over me
Choose my needs and choose my roles
Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I supposed to be?
I don't wanna be controlled by you
A plaything for your recreation
My existence doesn't seem real
I'm just a simulation
I don't wanna perform for you
A plaything for your observation
My existence doesn't seem real
I'm just a simulation
Just a simulation
Just a simulation
