Mannequin Eyes

I used to walk these crowded halls, with every passing face
But now I stand, a silent shell, trapped in a frozen place
I feel their stares, their empty gaze, but no one sees inside
I'm just a mannequin in glass, with nowhere left to hide

I've got mannequin eyes, but I still see
Frozen here, but I remember me
I was flesh and bone, now I'm cold and still
A prisoner in this window, against my will

They dress me up, they change my pose, like I'm a thing they own
They pass me by without a thought, just skin turned into stone
I can't cry out, can't move at all, my voice has turned to dust
But deep inside, I'm screaming loud, trapped by this awful lust

I've got mannequin eyes, but I still see
Frozen here, but I remember me
I was flesh and bone, now I'm cold and still
A prisoner in this window, against my will

I hear the whispers in the dark, I see the closing lights
When the mall shuts down, the silence grows, and I lose more of my fight
I wonder if I'll ever change, or if this is my end
A plastic face, an empty soul, with nothing left to mend

I've got mannequin eyes, but I still see
Frozen here, but I remember me
I was flesh and bone, now I'm cold and still
A prisoner in this window, against my will

The lights go out, the mall grows dim, but I'll be here tomorrow
A mannequin with eyes that see, locked inside my sorrow
