My Mannequin Can Dance

Matchbook Romance
(album: Voices)

we´re all eyes
and in my personal opinion
if we´re not all you were hoping for
when you say my name
say it like a curse

I saw your face in the magazine saying I can´t hear it
all the girls all glittered and glossed
screaming we can feel you, can you feel me?
we´re tied up in knots
in our courts of conscience
life is lies
lies are life
but don´t lie to me

you´re just chasing shadows
show us some heart and confess your sins
we´ll sing with eyes closed
and you can tear us apart but you won´t break the skin

just put on your face and...

I would love nothing more in the world
than to watch you as you spill your guts.
unrehearsed you´re just a silhouette
you never had a voice so why all the fuss?
you can have the kingdom, you can have the crown,
but you won´t have the people.
no, we´ll see you down.

you´re just chasing shadows
show us some heart and confess your sins
we´ll sing with eyes closed
and you can tear us apart but you won´t break the skin

put on your face
put on your face
and scream

you´re just chasing shadows
show us some heart and confess your sins
we´ll sing with eyes closed
and you can tear us apart but you won´t break the skin

just put on your face
just put on your face
and scream
and scream
and scream for me
