Who's Making Who

Intro

One more stitch, one more thread

One more color for her head

Almost done, almost right

I'll finish her tomorrow night

Verse 1

I've made a hundred dolls before

Sold them off and shut the door

But there's a tilt behind her eyes

A look no painted doll should have inside

I set her eyes, amber and gold

And swore I saw them blink and hold

I told myself it's just the light

Just the candle, just tonight

Pre-Chorus

I should attach the final hand

I should tighten every seam

Instead I sit and watch her face

Like I'm the one caught in a dream

Chorus

I lock her joints so they won't bend

And find my own won't bend again

I paint a smile she'll never lose

And feel my own face start to fuse

Who's the doll now, who's the hand

I don't know where I stand

I don't know anymore

I don't know anymore

Verse 2

The candle's burned down to the wax

Three days now, maybe four

I haven't noticed I've been bleeding

Fingers pricked, still on the floor

The wick leans close against the lace

I know I should put it out

But I can't look away from her

Long enough to help myself out

Pre-Chorus

I should attach the final hand

I should tighten every seam

Instead I sit and watch her face

Like I'm the one caught in a dream

Chorus

I lock her joints so they won't bend

And find my own won't bend again

I paint a smile she'll never lose

And feel my own face start to fuse

Who's the doll now, who's the hand

I don't know where I stand

I don't know anymore

I don't know anymore

Bridge

My hands don't move the way they should

My voice comes out too smooth, too thin

The candle's leaning toward the silk

And I can't feel my own skin

I made her face too close to mine

A jaw, a mouth I recognize

The smoke is rising near her hair

And I don't reach to shut the door

Final Chorus

No more locking joints tonight

No more choosing what stays right

The smile gives out, the wax runs thin

We're melting down to only skin

Who's the doll now, who's the wick

I can't remember either trick

I don't know anymore

I never knew at all

Outro

One more stitch, one more thread

One more night, the wick still lit

Almost done, almost right

I'll never leave this room tonight
