Mannequins (v. 2)


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

To carry on this golden track
With repetition gone amiss
But what's the sense in looking back
When 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
Delivered through the wires instead
As every signal comes in clear
This static lingers in our heads

From here to make a golden voice
Though once it starts, it all must end
Producing more recorded noise
We'll 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 and siren songs
Forgotten meanings that were wasted all along

Now more and more it's falling through
Disgusted stories you once knew
With nothing else to share and advancements made confused

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
