Mannequin
Walking the streets in brand new shoes
The crowd slips by, not a moment to lose
They shuffle past, too quick to see
How they lost the forest for the tree
A glance at my polished exterior
Masks my reflection seen in the mirror
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
In crowded rooms, we're side-by-side
While our screens keep us from the world outside
We gaze into the store window's light
But we're trapped in our digital night
Standing like scarecrows in an empty field
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
The glass cracks
Mask falls off
Free from the broken patterns
No more seeking approval or praise
I'm off on my own path
Paving a new way
No longer waiting to be seen
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
No longer waiting to be seen
The crowd slips by, not a moment to lose
They shuffle past, too quick to see
How they lost the forest for the tree
A glance at my polished exterior
Masks my reflection seen in the mirror
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
In crowded rooms, we're side-by-side
While our screens keep us from the world outside
We gaze into the store window's light
But we're trapped in our digital night
Standing like scarecrows in an empty field
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
The glass cracks
Mask falls off
Free from the broken patterns
No more seeking approval or praise
I'm off on my own path
Paving a new way
No longer waiting to be seen
Dressed like a mannequin
In the latest style
Perfect pose, practiced smile
While the world rushes past
I stand frozen
Waiting to be seen
No longer waiting to be seen
