Starset Perfect Machine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Show me your insides, show me your secrets
Show  me what you desire - I can fake it
Show  what you wanted, so I can be it
And if I bend just right, I can make it
I didn't want you
I  wanna watch you change from a butterfly and into chains

[Chorus 1]
Lay  your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just  a mirror till I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing
Never saw nothing
[Verse 2]
I'm  just a liar without deceiving
I'm just a broken clown make-believing
I should've let you know, you should've ran for cover
I'm just a parlor trick, a two-bit counterfeit

[Chorus 2]
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what's beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we're right where we ought to be

[Bridge]
Even you know, even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show, just an ego
I suppose though, as far as I know We were both pretending
I suppose so
But what do I know?
Even you know, even you know
This was all for nothing
Just a sad show, just an ego
I suppose though, as far as I know
We were both pretending
I suppose so
But what do I know?
[Chorus 1]
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will show you what you wanted to see
Just a mirror till I get what I need
The reverie was not of me
You never saw nothing, never saw nothing

[Chorus 2]
Lay your heart into my perfect machine
I will use it to protect you from me
I will never let you see what's beneath
So good for you and good for me
We told ourselves we're right where we ought to be

[Spoken Outro]
Unity through allegiance
A strong party means happiness for the people
Hard work makes a powerful nation
Contraband thought will result in audit and subjugation
