lyrics

I look at you look at me, your dead eyes move through me
Somewhere inside your mechanical heart is beating
And outside these doors, there's an ongoing war, but I consume all you give to me and your ideology
'Cause to invest in you is to invest in me, you're the answer to the void I feel, I can’t say no, no, no

My own, my own mannequin
You are, you are almost real
Incorruptible I dissolve
Take me with you when you go
My own immortality, you are made of fantasy
The strongest currency
Take me with you when you leave

We blindly idealise, without any compromises
We want what you are, but what you are is made of marble
Bring me down in the fight, bring me down, down, down
'Cause you were built for desire, built for taking us all down

Persuade me again, get more and more
Beauty is forever, nothing gets better
Our biggest illusion is the money conclusion
Beauty is forever, nothing gets better
Our biggest illusion is the money conclusion

My own, my own mannequin
You are, you are almost real
Incorruptible I dissolve
Take me with you when you go
My own immortality, you are made of fantasy
The strongest currency
Take me with you when you leave
