Lyrics
Intro
Dust on the glass, lamplight below
Another hour, another row
We've learned the rules, we've learned them well
Not every doll gets picked off the shelf
Verse 1
Mariel has real glass eyes
Porcelain skin, no cracks, no lies
Clara can turn her head just right
Collectors used to fight all night
But no one's knocking on the door
Today it's her they're coming for
Pre-Chorus
We tilt our heads, we tilt our chin
Every night they press their faces in
But something else is drawing them in
Something more than porcelain skin
Chorus
Why not us, why not us
Cracked or clean, it's plain to see
Why not us, why not us
Same glass case, same company
Why not us, why not us
She's just plastic, just like we
Why not us, why not us
Why does everyone want her key
Verse 2
She doesn't smile the way we do
Her eyes stay lit a different hue
The seam along her arm is bare
Nobody bothered with repair
And still they press against the glass
Still they whisper as they pass
Pre-Chorus
We tilt our heads, we tilt our chin
Every night they press their faces in
But something else is drawing them in
Something more than porcelain skin
Chorus
Why not us, why not us
Cracked or clean, it's plain to see
Why not us, why not us
Same glass case, same company
Why not us, why not us
She's just plastic, just like we
Why not us, why not us
Why does everyone want her key
Bridge
The lantern flickers, a hand appears
Fingers press against the glass we fear
Of dust we've worn like a second skin
And still, and still, it's her they let in
Outro
The glass door opens, cold air spills
The dust holds still upon the sills
She's lifted out, she's lifted free
Turn the key...
Turn the key...
Spoken
