Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadows, I see your face
A reflection of a troubled place
The silence screams, the darkness too
A world that's lost, and I see it through

[VERSE 1]
Here in the darkness, it is finally time
Stoic and silent, now I'll speak my mind
A world gone crazy, don't tell me that I am too
I am a captive of all these thoughts and you

[CHORUS]
Cause you had me where you wanted me
Right here in this nightmare, controlling me
A cold, blank stare; I was dead within
I'm not
I’m not your mannequin

[VERSE 2]
Here in the darkness, I stand among the rest
It's clear to me that you're the one obsessed
My face is frozen with terror designed by you
I had to find a way of breaking through

[CHORUS]
Cause you had me where you wanted me
Right here in this nightmare, controlling me
A cold, blank stare; I was dead within
I'm not
I’m not your mannequin

[BRIDGE]
I'm not the one, one who is lost
You are caught in this curse
You're holding on to an era lost in time
I couldn't help you if I tried

[VERSE 3]
Your skin's a canvas, blank and welcome, so
I'll play the artist and unleash this pen I hold
What have we come to, it's time to make this right
I have a chance to write you a brand new life

[CHORUS]
Cause you had me where you wanted me
Right here in this nightmare, controlling me
A cold, blank stare; I was dead within
I'm not your mannequin

[OUTRO]
It's your fate
I am not
I cannot
This is your final state
Your legs are weary, so just stand still and hold
I want this image of you to be the last I know
