[Verse 1] They said “upgrade your heart, get the premium pain” So I bolted in a model that misfires in the rain Second-hand hope on a frayed-out wire Shorts again when the volts get higher If you want my faith in people, it’s just dead weight on the tray Old dreams piled by the doorway Got a rusted sense of wonder you can borrow ‘til it cracks Strip ‘em down, sell ‘em all for scrap! [Chorus] I wasn’t using that anyway Take the parts that never felt okay If it breaks, just toss it in the bay I wasn’t using that anyway [Chorus Refrain] Go ahead I'm already half dead Go ahead Wasn’t using that anyway [Verse 2] Click-lock spine, too stiff to bend Soft reset I can’t defend Patched-up soul with a factory crack Loan it out, don’t bring it back My patience came defective, humming out of tune Plug it into your days, see if it shorts by noon Rusty truth, no interface Spare regret in a plastic tray [Chorus] Go ahead I wasn’t using that anyway Take the dreams that never made it past halfway If it sparks, just watch it burn away I wasn’t using that anyway [Bridge] Bolt by bolt, I’ve learned to shed Every hope that clogged my head If the world keeps needing more I’ve got shelves of faulty cores You can wear my old beliefs Like a mask with missing teeth If they crack along the seam Just pretend it’s by design, part of the machine [Chorus – bigger, more resigned] I wasn’t using that anyway Take the love that never found a place to stay If I fade into the static gray I wasn’t using that anyway Go ahead I'm already half dead [Outro] Just a modular soul in a rental shell Loaning out pieces that never worked well If you need one more excuse to stay Take my heart on the house I wasn’t using that anyway
