[Verse 1] She buys her smile from a catalog Wears it sideways when it rains Says the sky is just a screen And every cloud is pre-arranged [Verse 2] He talks in circles, slow and kind Practices how not to feel He dreams in rooms without a floor And says the pain just makes it real [Chorus] We're just soft machines Built to break clean Faking sleep In a world that dreams [Verse 3] I drink my thoughts from paper cups Taste the glue and call it peace You hold my hand like it might blink Like touch is just a small release [Chorus] We're just soft machines Built to break clean Faking sleep In a world that dreams [Outro] Turn me off when I start to shake I'll pretend for pretending's sake Lay me down where the wires fray I'll be gone But mostly okay
