Lyrics:
Hidden behind closed doors.
What are they thinking?
What did I do?
They’re nothing like me,
That’s nothing new.
Rather a madman,
Than a statue.
Wearing a mask they share.
Why are you different?
Why’re you the same?
Why can’t you fix it?
You’ll have no one but yourself to blame.
Mannequin,
Eyes aimed.
Singing their hymn.
Mannequin,
Silent, you’re lifeless like a statue.
Mannequin,
Try to pretend like you’re everyone around you.
Mannequin,
Can wear a mask, but they’ll see right through you.
Mannequin,
They’ll sing their hymn until you’re consumed too.
So stuck in all their thoughts.
I’m fucking tired.
Listen or leave.
Speak with conviction,
Or don’t speak.
Live life with passion,
Or live weak.
Don’t care if it’s
been said before.
“Cliche“ is a lie.
There’s so much more.
You’ll give and they’ll get,
Transform into a mannequin.
Mannequin.
Stood still,
Consumed by sin.
Mannequin,
Silent, you’re lifeless like a statue.
Mannequin,
Try to pretend like you’re everyone around you.
Mannequin,
Can wear a mask, but they’ll see right through you.
Mannequin,
They’ll sing their hymn until you’re consumed too.
Desperate and clinging,
Tired of the game.
Mannequin,
Insisting.
To just quit persisting.
But I know they’re listening,
So here’s my reply.
I’ll take what is mine
