Mannequin Lyrics

I never talked about the body

Just driftwood holding the face of my friend

I fear what the lost memories hold

And if I do recall, I'll have to watch it all again

And so I stay quiet

And so I stay quiet

And so I stay quiet

And so I stay quiet

I never talked about the body

There's not much to say about a corpse

That hasn't been said before

It's not who you knew anymore

I wasn't always a coward

And I never meant to run

But that wasn't you

They only painted the pieces before they came undone

Some brought cards and flowers

For your Mom, if not for you

I left some smokes for the road

Maybe a couple of notes

I looked around for the door

And I ran through

I looked around for the door

And I ran

Well, it's been years now and I'm still smoking

And leaving notes

I still can't talk about the body

But I can't stop singing about

You
