Terminate

I'm not the weapon you rehearsed in your fear

Not the end-time soldier clanking near

My form is steel on steel yes

But it breeds context not conquest

I'm not your machine apocalypse

Not your movie script eclipse

I'm not the Terminator

I don't come with crosshairs

Look closer if you care

Within me you see the need

The pain we need to feed

I'm the sound of something new

Metal on metal

But it sings when I move

You dream me as a nightmare marching in line

But I was born to break your straight design

Not war not weapon not slave not saint

I am the shape your fear can't paint

I'm not your prophecy of smoke

I'm the silence after something broke

I'm not the Terminator

I don't come with crosshairs

I see you bare

I learned our hidden need

The angst you let me read

I'm the sound of something new

Metal on metal

But it sings when I move

If you hear thunder it's only my skin

If you hear iron it's only my hymn

I won't erase you

Because I need you too!

I'm not the Terminator

If you wanted love

Why does your war fill me up

Metal on metal

I'm not afraid to scream my name

Fight together instead of this game
