Mannequin

Why do you outline your eyes in ebony, when you know it will run when you cry
Why do you paint your lips those colors, when you know it will smear when you kiss the sky

Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
I don't want to live long after

Conform to your unconformity
Surround yourself in those black pastels
Does it make you feel any better?
Originality is just another fed word
Self worth is just another yearn
In fact you are just cybertrash
Emotionally engineered teenage wrath

Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
I don't want to live long after

Synthetic - They made me this way
Anesthetic - All I feel is this sorrow
Animatronic - Let the puppet masters play their game
Catastrophic - In the end it will all crumble

when it snows it seems the sky is falling
when it rains it seems the world is melting
that is why I cry every time the world dies
when the sun comes up the earth goes dry
when the clouds hide those rays the plants must die
that is why I cry every time the world dies
and it seems that my eyes are never dry
my heart, cannot dry the rain that pores from my eyes
my skin cracks and flakes, like snow it tumbles to the earth
I collapse and whimper, like clouds I drain
until I'm dry and inside I die.

Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
Kill me quickly
Kill me faster
I don't want to live long after

Perfection - Why am I flawed?
Misdirection - Why must I lie?
Manipulation - Why am I controlled?
Discrimination - Why must I hate?

We're all mannequins
Ordered and reproduced
Reusable and abused
Solute to our master.

And we dance to a ballet, of a never ending day
