The Toymaker ft. Eleanor Forte Lyrics

Build a doll and rearrange her parts for fun, like every day

And fill her head with all the morbid falsehoods that you have to say

Stay still, internalize the lies. Until a part of her will dies

Dress her up and down, and take the pictures that you love so much

To show the world who owns her, use your ownership, a moral crutch to

Kill the trust created of the bond that once was known as love

Someone cracked your dolly, imperfections part her glassy lips

You only glue them back together so she doesn't go off script and

Speak her full resentful mind, so weak, to superglue and time

Dolly's getting older, full of all the cracks you never mended

Now she's got to fix herself without a guide, her mind expended

Here, she's become her own child, to parent headspaces defiled

You, her maker, only made her person for the novelty

Of owning your own pretty doll that you show off for all to see

Her skin is bulging with the flesh encased beneath ceramic mesh

Looking down, she notices the bits of aforementioned skin and

It all clicks together, all this time she was human within

But made to be the perfect pet, for years a one-sided duet
