Mannequin
Listening to words that are here and gone
You hum the tune and I'll sing along
Liked what I heard then you changed the song
By the time I had learned you'd already moved on
Catching attention I can't keep
From chasing it every time I see it
Living my life on a scrolling feed
Trying to force the spotlight to stay on me
When it's not enough, you do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up, but it's deep as skin you're still a mannequin
Nothing to show just a pretty face
Just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all getting famous
No need to exist when you leave the stage
When it's not enough, you do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up, but it's deep as skin you're still a mannequin
It's getting hard to believe what you see on a screen
It's starting to seem like you're just trying
to turn an eye
It's a matter of time till they see through the lie
You're dying inside and you know you're just getting by
Catching attention I can't keep
From chasing it every time I see it
Living my life on a scrolling feed
Trying to force the spotlight to stay on me
Nothing to show just a pretty face
Just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all getting famous
No need to exist when you leave the stage
You hum the tune and I'll sing along
Liked what I heard then you changed the song
By the time I had learned you'd already moved on
Catching attention I can't keep
From chasing it every time I see it
Living my life on a scrolling feed
Trying to force the spotlight to stay on me
When it's not enough, you do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up, but it's deep as skin you're still a mannequin
Nothing to show just a pretty face
Just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all getting famous
No need to exist when you leave the stage
When it's not enough, you do your best to fake it and fit in
You can dress it up, but it's deep as skin you're still a mannequin
It's getting hard to believe what you see on a screen
It's starting to seem like you're just trying
to turn an eye
It's a matter of time till they see through the lie
You're dying inside and you know you're just getting by
Catching attention I can't keep
From chasing it every time I see it
Living my life on a scrolling feed
Trying to force the spotlight to stay on me
Nothing to show just a pretty face
Just like a book without any pages
What does it matter if we're all getting famous
No need to exist when you leave the stage
