  • 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

    'Cause 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
    Who do you think it is
    That keeps this scene alive?

    Insect in amber, is that what you are?
    Keep it in mind now
    Insect in amber, the death of a star
    Now and forever

    'Cause 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
    You will never never never be Writer/s: Faris Badwan, Joseph Spurgeon, Joshua Hayward, Rhys Webb, Tom Cowan
