they spoiled me
i broke down
'cause i was
bending all their rules
a reject
a mistake
that didn't fit the box

i moved on
a fixed me
ignoring
malfunction inside
and found out
i could hide
i never made the cut


CHORUS
this is how i feel
like a prototype
can i pass the test
can i even try

this is how i feel
like a prototype
when i'm looking strong
i crack up inside

this is how i feel
like a prototype
just a prototype


and sometimes
i hear them
they're scheming
how to raise the stakes
so i will
be shut down
so i'll be shorting out

(chorus)

this is how i feel
like a prototype
i will always feel
like a prototype

(chorus)
