Lyrics

Chorus

He is the plastic part of the puzzle

She is the pulse that beats underneath

He is the movie frame that is frozen

She is the actual heat in the breath

The actual heat

The actual heat

Verse 1

You wore that imitation grin

Posing for the lenses while the tide came crashing in

Synthetic shadows

Hiding all the hollow habits that you bought

Pre-Chorus

But I can feel the movement

I can see the difference

I can tell what's true

Chorus

He is the plastic part of the puzzle

She is the pulse that beats underneath

He is the movie frame that is frozen

She is the actual heat in the breath

The actual heat

The actual heat

Verse 2

Skin is warm but his heart is digital

Taped together with a wire and a brand name ritual

No more dreaming

Running from the weight of what is really there

Pre-Chorus

But I can feel the movement

I can see the difference

I can tell what's true

Chorus

He is the plastic part of the puzzle

She is the pulse that beats underneath

He is the movie frame that is frozen

She is the actual heat in the breath

The actual heat

The actual heat

Drop

Actual heat

The actual heat

Bridge

Maybe you want to believe it

Maybe you want to be him

Maybe you want the lie

I don't mind the truth

I don't mind the mess

I don't mind at all

Chorus

He is the plastic part of the puzzle

She is the pulse that beats underneath

He is the movie frame that is frozen

She is the actual heat in the breath

The actual heat

The actual heat
