mannequin

Lexi Lou · Mannequin

you still have my heart

i'm a shell
of a woman
just a chest
with no heart
just a head
with no mind
i am hollow inside

dress me up
just enough
make me thin
tilt my chin
i'll be your doll if you want
i'll be tall or be small
if you want
if you want

i'm still standing here
feeling kind of weird
just watching crowds
moving busily
staring at me
enviously
i don't understand

i'm a mannequin
man i can't
i can't live
live like this
all i know is emptiness
empty this display
and throw me away

i'm a mess
i'm dirty
i've been tested and scuffed up
can't protest cause i can't talk
oh please
you just like to mock me
​i'm still standing here
feeling kind of weird
just watching crowds
moving busily
staring at me
enviously
i don't understand

i'm a mannequin
man i can't
i can't live
live like this
all i know is emptiness
empty this display
and throw me away
all i know is emptiness
empty this display
throw me away
