Mannequins

Display window mannequins parade down the street paved with conformity
Each individual stands out in the mirror and yet blends with this mixed crowd
Dead in the mirror, step into this life
Even your reflection, can't look and say
You're just as lovely on the inside

Oh why don't you understand, that you are not these people
So paint yourself with gold, and make a habit of being alone
We're monsters, turned out by the machine, fabricated by society
We get by, on our own greed, we've lost our own identity

You're alone in this world
There's nothing on this earth that can save you now
If all you're looking for are flaws you'll find them
If all you want is change, you'll get it

Can I write a beginning for the helpless and give a beat to the heartless?
Can I save myself and those beside me? Can I save anyone?
Crack the plastic molds, make room for growth
I know I'm a sinner, but God knows it's time to wake up

Oh why can't you understand, that you are not these people
So paint yourself with gold, and make a habit of being alone
We're monsters, turned out by the machine, fabricated by society
We get by, on our own greed, we've lost our own identity

There's nothing here that makes you worthy
There's nothing worthy that you have left
This filth is making it hard to breathe
This filth is making it hard to believe
