Mannequin

Puncture your skin
With all these pins
How can you be
So still?

Unstitch your lips
I prod, I pick
How can I
Break your seal?

Your silence is haunting
My mind is exhausting
Is anything in that shell?

You're violently careful
Your cruelty is gentle
I’m numb and caught in your spell
So

Shake up my bones
Say something you can hit me with
Line up your stones
And shoot me with your cheapest threat

I want your secrets
Tell me what you’re holding in
I’m in the deep end
Pleading with a mannequin

I’m in the deep end
Pleading with a mannequin

Untie your tongue
Fill up your lungs
Why won't you
Bend at all?

Something must give
Stuck in your grip
My back’s up against
The wall

Your silence is haunting
My mind is exhausting
Is anything in that shell?

You're violently careful
Your cruelty is gentle
I’m numb and caught in your spell
So

Shake up my bones
Say something you can hit me with
Line up your stones
And shoot me with your cheapest threat

I want your secrets
Tell me what you’re holding in
I’m in the deep end
Pleading with a mannequin

I’m in the deep end
Pleading with a mannequin

I’m in the deep end
Pleading with a mannequin
