Plastic Face

Lyrics

Intro
Mask on the table
Skin made of shine
You smile at me wrong
And I hear the wire

Verse 1
I saw you blink twice
Then freeze in the frame
A perfect little crack
In a borrowed face
Your teeth are too clean
Your eyes don’t stay
You call it survival
I call it bait

Cold little puppet
Pulled by the room
Every step you take
Goes straight to the doom
I know that pattern
I know that glaze
There’s something hungry
Behind your face

Pre-Chorus
Say it again
Say it slow
Who are you
When the cameras go?
You lean in close
Like you need my fear
But I hear the gears
I hear them here

Chorus
Plastic face, plastic face
Break when I say
Plastic face, plastic face
You rot under spray
Plastic face, plastic face
I see the seams
Plastic face, plastic face
You’re not what you seem

Verse 2
Your hands keep twitching
Under the glove
Like something crawling
Wanting out of the hull
You laugh too softly
For a living throat
Your voice comes empty
From a painted hole

I traced the edges
Found the mold line there
A second mouth
In the middle of a stare
You wear my trust
Like stolen skin
But every false step
Lets the dark crawl in

Pre-Chorus
Say it again
Say it slow
Who are you
When the lights all go?
You lean in close
Like you want me near
But I hear the gears
I hear them here

Chorus
Plastic face, plastic face
Break when I say
Plastic face, plastic face
You rot under spray
Plastic face, plastic face
I see the seams
Plastic face, plastic face
You’re not what you seem

Verse 3
I pulled one thread
And the whole thing shook
Your pretty little lie
Lost its perfect look
No soul, no pulse
Just a hollow grin
Something ancient
Was moving within

Now you’re copying pain
Like a broken toy
Trying to wear
What you cannot destroy
I watched you split
At the edges first
A prayer in reverse
A hunger in the burst

Bridge
(Show me the real face)
I hear you through the shell
(Show me the real face)
There’s a voice inside you well
(Show me the real face)
Say my name in the rust
(Show me the real face)
While your mask eats dust

Breakdown
Snapped jaw
Dead stare
Empty hands
Still there
Fake breath
Cold chrome
You were born
From bone and foam

Chorus
Plastic face, plastic face
Break when I say
Plastic face, plastic face
You rot under spray
Plastic face, plastic face
I see the seams
Plastic face, plastic face
You’re not what you seem

Outro
Mask on the table
Skin made of shine
I watched you disappear
Piece by piece
Into the wires
Into the grime
Plastic face
Plastic face
