Lyrics The Horrors

The Horrors

Machine

Your smile is nothing to live for

But read out your lines

And bring the fantasy to life

You taste like a ghost

A cold simulation

So close to the truth

A costume jewel, an off-white lie

Insect in amber, is that what you are

Keep it in mind now

Insect in amber, the death of a star

Now and forever

Because you will never never never be

Yeah you will never never never be

More than a machine

A trace of a smile

A sly imitation

Light with no heat

An empty cry in silent streets

Your mannequin moves

You ghost through the motions

So close to the truth

You almost had me for a while

Insect in amber, is that what you are

Keep it in mind now

Insect in amber, the death of a star

Now and forever

Because you will never never never be

Yeah you will never never never be

More than a machine

Insect in amber forever you are

Keep that in mind now

Insect in amber the death of a star

Keep that in mind now

No going back and there's no one to tell

Nowhere to turn, better turn on yourself

No more disguises to find a way out

And you will never never be

Because you will never never never be

Yeah you will never never never be
