Porcelain Doll
Can you hear me when I call
Footprints in the dust behind you creaking down the hall
In the mirror, someone's there
But you looked right past me
Are you blind or unaware
Did you forget your favorite puppet
What a shame, it seems you're just too tired to play
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real, I'll come in second best again
Portraits staring from the walls
Something in the air has changed
You don't notice at all
Shattered windows, broken glass
Along the rotten curtains, statues watch you as you pass
Did you forget your favorite puppet?
What a shame, it seems you're just too tired to play
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real
I'll come in second best again
Again
You make out distant faces in the dark
Don't let that stop you from playing your part
The guilt in spades it never lets you rest
Nothing more than an unwelcome guest
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real
I'll come in second best again
Footprints in the dust behind you creaking down the hall
In the mirror, someone's there
But you looked right past me
Are you blind or unaware
Did you forget your favorite puppet
What a shame, it seems you're just too tired to play
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real, I'll come in second best again
Portraits staring from the walls
Something in the air has changed
You don't notice at all
Shattered windows, broken glass
Along the rotten curtains, statues watch you as you pass
Did you forget your favorite puppet?
What a shame, it seems you're just too tired to play
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real
I'll come in second best again
Again
You make out distant faces in the dark
Don't let that stop you from playing your part
The guilt in spades it never lets you rest
Nothing more than an unwelcome guest
I can't cry 'til it's all over
I can't sleep until I'm dead
With glassy eyes, I watch inside a cage of crinoline
Bandages of ribbon cover cracks in porcelain
When I'm next to someone real
I'll come in second best again
