Mannequins (v. 1)


Script the words that make it through
Forgetting stories you once knew
We're not concerned with what might fit
So program all the mannequins

To carry on this golden track
But what's the sense in looking back
With repetition gone amiss
Temptation leads to lazyness

I wish you saw the reasons
That there's nothing to believe in anymore
I'm on the floor and waiting
I'm always contemplating

It even sounds the same now
You know I'm so afraid of what's to come
It's always buzzing silent
It doesn't breed reliance now

So off the course we slowly steer
As every signal comes in clear
Delivered through the wires instead
This static lingers in our heads

From here to make a golden voice
I know it's all recorded noise
For once it starts, it all must end
Now charge up all the mannequins

I wish you saw the reasons
That there's nothing to believe in anymore
I'm on the floor and waiting
I'm always contemplating

It even sounds the same now
You know I'm so afraid of what's to come
It's always buzzing silent
It doesn't breed reliance now

It drones and drones and on and on
Your plotted words for what went wrong
Forgotten meanings that were wasted all along

Now more and more it's such a waste
Disgusted stories unreplaced
With nothing else to share and all these orders disobeyed

I wish you saw the reasons
That there's nothing to believe in anymore
I'm on the floor and waiting
I'm always contemplating

It even sounds the same now
You know I'm so afraid of what's to come
It's always buzzing silent
It doesn't breed reliance

It doesn't breed reliance
It doesn't breed reliance
It doesn't breed reliance now

It doesn't breed reliance
It doesn't breed reliance
It doesn't breed reliance now
No no no no
