"Perfect Machine" lyrics - STARSET

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

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 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

[Outro:]
Unity
A true allegiance
A strong party
Brings happiness to the people
Hard work makes a powerful nation
