Lyrics

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 'til 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 'til 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 where right we ought to be "Unity Through allegiance A strong party Brings happiness to the people Hard work makes a powerful nation Contraband thought will result in audit and subjugation" "Next destination New East facility 23 Next destination New East facility 23"
