Description
Models: For Their Mannequins

Verse:
I hate the smell of cleaning products
Burns the nostrils and wets the eyes
A representation of perfection, of the way…we’re not
Trying to hard to reach the stars
Scalping our hair and wasting away
No one knows that up close they’re a mess
Burning sulphur and hydrogen

Pre:
Decaying to dust…behind the mask

Chorus:
Lips to lips in the masquerade
Bathing in the impossibility
Dancing in the pouring rain
Concealed, and covered up
No one will ruin our complexion
(When everything’s all a, ok!)

Verse:
Don’t worry, it’s only natural or so we’re told
The neighbours complained about a weird noise-outside
The dogs ate the children alive-again
And not even an eye-lid beats
Just like how skeletons reign supreme
Idols pasted on girls’ bedroom walls
Are we mad? It doesn’t make sense

Pre:
Decaying to dust…behind the mask

Chorus:
Lips to lips in the masquerade
Bathing in the impossibility
Dancing in the pouring rain
Concealed, and covered up
No one will ruin our complexion
(When everything’s all a, ok!)

ok..
ok..

Post:
Reminisce about the times without branding
Where the ugly duckling could flourish and grow

“The pigs are taking over” that’s what you’d want to say
Where’s the satisfaction in letting you win

Bit off the tongue and thrown away
Now do up your tie and raise your chin-stand proud of what we are

We are…
We are…

Outro:
We are!
All animals, after all
We are the animals, after all
Take a note from nature and stick to the fridge, burn it onto the back of your memory
“Only the fittest will survive”

We are all animals, after all (take it off)
We are the animals, after all (show me what’s real)
Take a note from nature and stick to the fridge, burn it onto the back of your memory
“Only the fittest will survive”
