Matchbook Romance - My Mannequin Can Dance lyrics

rate me

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 a magazine saying, "I can't hear it."

All the girls all glittered and glossed screamin',

"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're seeing with eyes closed.

(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're seeing with eyes closed.

(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're seeing with eyes closed.

(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.
