[Verse 1]
Someone save me
I think I’m lost again
My mind is stranded abandoned
Chained by the mannequins
I don’t know where this is
Or where this is begins
Or where it ends
I’m incarcerated with a sin
I move in circles and hurdles
Handled by others’ will
I see the truth
But in fear of death
I deny it still
I live in boxes on boxes
Trapped with a gun to kill
The will from within
To make me hollow like the rest of them
I’m the boy with no purpose
Who makes the streets his focus
I’m the girl with no focus
Who leaves her body open
I’m the man barely floating
From a job where he’s choking
And the woman he’s choking
Staying not to provoke him
I’m the parent whose need for getting
Bleeds from the children
A hopeless child who thinks dreams are a joke
That they’re missing
I lost my way
Okay
But that’s the last it’s happening
I broke the mold
I’m plastic free
Release me from the mannequins
[Chorus 4x]
This is the end
The end of the Mannequins
Let me go
Release me

[Verse 2]
Blind from the lies
Deaf to the hate
I smell the bull
Because there ain’t a mask on my face
If this is a competition
I don’t want to race
Playing with the walking dead
Running in the wrong race
Hollow minds paper-chasing just to fill the space
To seal the emptiness with paper-cuts and dead weight
Prostituted from the cash of the Devil’s plate
Infect the radio and zombify the human race
What does it mean to be a mediocre king
With followers injected with a mediocre dream
Deflecting your projections on their inner worth it seems
For your cancerous direction burning deep inside their veins
Lets
Get with the change
Melting the molds
Plastic or not
The truth will unfold
Yeah you were washed
Time and again
But now you’re off the clock
I release you from the mannequins
[Chorus 4x]
This is the end
The end of the Mannequins
Let me go
Release me

[Speech: Martin Luther King Jr.]
We shall overcome
Deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome
You know, I’ve joined hands so often with students
And others behind jail bars singing it
We shall overcome
Sometimes we’ve had tears in our eyes
When we joined together to sing it
But we still decided to sing it
We shall overcome
Oh, before this victory’s won
Some will have to get thrown in jail some more
But we shall overcome
Don’t worry about us
Before the victory’s won
Some of us will lose jobs
But we shall overcome
Before the victory’s won
Even some will have to face physical death
But if physical death is the price that some must pay
To free their children from a
Permanent psychological death
Then nothing shall be more redemptive
We shall overcome
