Mannequin She

At winter garden across our window
Nightmares hunt palm trees and snow
Sleeping on the rigid river, drooling
**\/**
Here under these ebony comforters,
Cold passion rejects sparks of desire
As our stereo every rhapsodic tune
**\/**
She feels nothing like a cold statue
But how frigid and dismissive she is
Her blank stare frozen on the ceiling
**\/**
Shards of untold chronicles of deceit
Decorates our room and bed of rocks
Forbidden secrets cast out of Eden
**\/**
Pillows of thorns crowning my skull,
Maybe I should have worn a helmet;
She ate the keys to my handcuffs
Rapadoo,

  1. This one reflects the reality of marriage in today's society. It doesn't mean that every marriage works this way, but sometimes you reach a point and it's exactly like that. Read this one in context to fully grasp the essence of Mannequin She. The house is decorated with bad memories and those never leave the room so no one knows. Take a read.
