Everyone Makes Mistakes (except me) Lyrics by robot maid

COG IN THE MACHINE

2025

Everyone holds me to impossible standards
\nI run to reach perfection but its always quicker
\nAnd if I trip
\nI'm an embarrassing failure
\nBut if someone else trips
\nIt's just a mistake
\n
\nI try, I try, I try
\nTo be the perfect one
\nThat I'm expected to be
\nI try, I try, I try
\nBut trying is never enough
\n
\nI listen to their problems
\nAnd give my best advice
\nI listen to my advice
\nAnd I don't fucking follow it
\nI look in the mirror
\nAnd wonder who I am
\n
\nI'm just so disconnected from myself
\nI change who I am based on the people around me
\nI'm a shell for people to pour their perfect friend into
\nAlways the therapist, never the client
\nAnd they say, everyone makes mistakes
\nAnd sometimes that feels true
\nBut when I make a mistake
\nIt feels like everyone makes mistakes except me
\n
\nI can have perfection, but I never learnt common sense
\nI'm always downgrading in the delusion of freedom
\nPeople always love to act like
\nThey've seen me at my most vulnerable
\nBut i don't know if anyone's seen me that low
\nNot even myself
\n
\nI'm always the container, never the liquid
\nI'm always the perfect, never the flawed
\nCan't ever stand up for myself
\nBecause I'm always in the wrong
\nI don't have a choice but to be a carpet
\nAlways the fixed, never the shattered
\n
\nOh, and I just wanna be laid to rest
\nBut I'm scared of death
\nSo I suffer in silence
\nIn silence
\nAll i know how to do is throw shit around
\nAnd roll up into a ball in a box
\nI've never been a hater of small spaces
\nI've only been a selfish wannabe
\n43 year old men
\nTrying to tear me down
\nAnd it would work if there was something to tear down
\nIf there was someone who knew who they were
\n
\nI'm a thousand different people
\nAnd that numbers increasing by the day
\nMy sense of self is like glass shards
\nIt's all shattered
\nI've always been the attacker, never the victim
\nAll 1,002 versions of me, never the victim
\nAnd I just can't stop apologising
\nWhen I think I've done something terribly wrong
\nEither that or I just can't stop doubling down
\n
\nI'm just so disconnected from myself
\nI change who I am based on the people around me
\nI'm a shell for people to pour their perfect friend into
\nAlways the therapist, never the client
\nAnd they say, everyone makes mistakes
\nAnd sometimes that feels true
\nBut when I make a mistake
\nIt feels like everyone makes mistakes except me
\nExcept me, mm, mm, mm
\nWhoever I am
\nExcept me\n\n
