Lyrics PERFECT MACHINE - Starset

PERFECT MACHINE

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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
Unity through allegiance
A strong party means happiness to the people
Hard work makes a powerful nation
Contraband thought will result in audit and subjugation
