Mechanical Dancers

The mechanical dancers without eyes the can see
The questions you ask, the answers you need

Without tongues they will whisper, your deepest desires
claim they can fulfill them, they can take you higher

Without brains they claim thoughts, imply they empathize
saying they understand you, they truly sympathize

Without hearts they still love, not you, no, nor I
but dark horrific things, that in hell do lie

They appear with such grace, seem to know all the answers
but I beg you, don't fall to the mechanical dancers
