Mannequins
My hands are bleeding
My face is dirty
My clothes are rags
This is my reality
Talking to myself in third person
She, her, them
What's with me?
I want to be her too
Walking down the street
Looking at myself from outside mirror
I'm different from those stick thin mannequins
I'm broke, but I want to be that mannequin
Little black dress
Sophisticated pearl necklace
And some bright lipsticks
I will feel like I'm on top of the world
Seasons will pass
Those mannequin change more clothes than me
I want to be that mannequin
Those beautiful mannequin
Touched my face
I looked back to my reflection
Got me realized
That I'm back to my reality
