In this song, Dustin sings about a relationship in which he acted like someone else from the beginning, making it seem like evil intent to get to her heart. This goes on until the second chorus plays, in which he then explains that it was all to protect her from the person he’s hiding. In the end, i...
[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
