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 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
