We the People - Mannequin Protocol Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lost between the plastic faces
In this mall of empty spaces
Lucy's smile turned synthetic
When she chose him over me
Like mannequins in shop windows
Our love became so hollow
Just protocols and patterns
In this digital disease

[Chorus]
We're breaking down like faulty wiring
Your kisses taste like circuits firing
Delete me from your memory
'Cause baby we're just code that failed to run
These feelings turn to static
Our touch so automatic
I'm glitching out, can't take it
When love's reduced to ones

[Verse 2]
Remember when I lost my way here
Among the lifeless stares, dear
Now twenty years later
I'm still that frightened kid
Your love's a simulation
A false authentication
Just data verification
Of everything we did

[Bridge]
Watched you walk away with him
While my heart crashed like a system
Guess I'm just a program
That you chose to override
These tears feel like malfunction
Your goodbye's corrupt instruction
Baby was I human
Or just something you could write?

[Chorus]
We're breaking down like faulty wiring
Your kisses taste like circuits firing
Delete me from your memory
'Cause baby we're just code that failed to run
These feelings turn to static
Our touch so automatic
I'm glitching out, can't take it
When love's reduced to ones

[Outro]
Just mannequins in windows now
Just mannequins in windows now
Just mannequins...
