lyrics

There was a man who fell in love
Oh, but it was a forbidden love
The force it carried in his lonely heart
and even though he said it would be fine
He knew that in time, it would only rot
only rot, rot
rot at his heart
rot at his heart

He can’t find the truth in hindsight
let alone foresight, robot man
He sees the toll emotions take
and then decides to throw them down

He chose to be a robot man
Unshackled by the ramblings of emotion
He chose to be a robot man
Traded his broken heart for simpler notions

And on his robotic journey he found
a robot burning in sound
an overthinking, overanalyzing
He can go for hours and hours
when ours and theirs become he and his
and solitude rots, rots at his mind
rots at his mind

He can’t find the truth in hindsight
Let alone foresight, robot man
He sees the toll emotions take
and then decides to throw them down

He chose to be a robot man
Unshackled by the ramblings of emotion
He chose to be a robot man
Traded his broken heart for simpler notions

He chose to be a robot man
(they’d bubble up, he’d throw them down)
Unshackled by the ramblings of emotion
He chose to be a robot man
Traded his broken heart for simpler notions

He chose to be a robot man
(they’d bubble up, he’d throw them down)
Unshackled by the ramblings of emotion
He chose to be a robot man
Traded his broken heart for simpler notions

Michael Mayo New York, New York

Michael Mayo approaches his voice as a musical instrument, but in often unexpected ways — with Brian Wilson-style pop harmonies, Stevie Wonder R&B, drum and bass, inspired by a line from poets, and even hip-hop. Even with his classical training, Mayo’s music is a seamless blend of alternative and neo-soul elements, a unique combination that defies genre. ... more
