You're a mannequin
You're just pretend
Molded plastic flesh
You’re empty within
Oh, tell me
What’s on sale today?
Looking down at us
from behind that glass
They dress you up
in all their clothes
Oh, tell me
What’s on sale today?
Laughing on time
Walking in straight lines
Going through the motions
And feeling fine
Mannequin
You’re just pretend
Mannequin
Empty within
Your cold blank stare
Frozen into a smile
Suspicious and haunting
Goes on for miles and miles
Oh, tell me
What’s on sale today?
Laughing on time
Walking in straight lines
Going through the motions
And feeling fine
Mannequin
You’re just pretend
Mannequin
Empty within

Velvet Streets

Interstate number ten,
My hands are gnarled talons on the wheel
A psychological gun pressed into
The vinyl of my seat
Streetlights joyously laugh
Dance with the cracks in the windshield
Watching me
As I spring the trap
The outlaws of old walk alone
In denial of denial, coming home to
Velvet streets
Velvet streets
And I know
the price of trust is always high
I know this world wasn’t meant for you and I
I know all things must come to an end
The outlaws of old walk alone
In denial of denial, coming home to
Velvet streets
Velvet streets
And I know
the hollow place in the wall where the children go
To hide and listen to the insects drone
unconcerned that its all coming to an end
The outlaws of old walk alone
In denial of denial, coming home to
Velvet streets
Velvet streets
Waterboard myself in existential waterfalls
Twist my neck backwards into history
I could contort my limbs unnaturally and crawl the walls
I could but I think I’ll stick with you in this mystery
