Mannequin

For fans of nine inch nails, tool, nirvana, sonic youth, faith no more, tomahawk, led zeppelin, pink floyd, melvins,

Mannequin is an independent, experimental, industrial rock band. My music has been described as dark & disturbing, but simultaneously beautiful and honest. Full of revenge for scornful lovers, as well as disgust, self loathing, and regret. The debut album, "Denial Fixation" was finished in 2002. "Straining the Retina" is a concept album started in 2002, and although never officially released, the songs have slowly been surfacing in different forms. "Worn" is the current album for the songs I'm releasing now. I'm looking at releasing it physically and/or digitally later this year. Also see my page on myspace:

Lyrics

this is how you treat your kids
this is the way of the world
and everything that you love, is a part of this world - how fucking surprising

drowning in you, there's no way out of this
seeping through shit, patiently eating it
no way to turn, no way out of it

wake from a dream, covered in sweat
    (saw yourself, burning this world)
convince yourself, you just imagined it
    (how could you let this happen?)
in your mind, if you're okay
then no one else, is ever in pain

    that man there, he's hooked on the sauce
    he tries so hard, not to let it show,
    don't let yourself look,
    you don't wanna see this
    you shouldn't want to see this

    that man there, don't look him in the eye
    he doesn't want to have to know you’re a lie (alive)
    he'd rather just pretend that you're not there,
    and that everything's all right
    everything's all right

you complain, but you still remain
right where you were

    don't think, don't look, don't reinvent him now
    breathe and speak, don't even utter a sound
    lie and deceive, and fucking break him down

you complain, but you still remain
right where you were

there's the fix, right in front of you,
which you ignore, making it worse,
and even harder to bare

    don't think, don't look, don't reinvent him now
    breathe and speak, don't even utter a sound
    lie and deceive, and fucking break him down

    don't eat, don't sleep, don't let yourself think
    don't point and laugh, don't even flash a grin
    don't lie and deceive, and fucking break him down

    don't think, don't look, don't imagine him now
    don't breathe don't speak, don't even utter a sound
    don't lie and deceive, and fucking break him down

    don't think, don't look, don't imagine him now
    don't breathe don't speak, don't even utter a sound
    lie and deceive, don't fucking break him down
    break him down
