Acquiescence

Work Text:

Don’t walk home alone at night,
Though even monsters roam in the morning;
Courage bubbles in the will to fight,
Though we’re prey to the dying light.

They’re faceless people,
And we’re voodoo dolls;
All mannequins,
Subject - to whims of the strings.

It’s not only strangers that are monsters too,
faces that sink familiar;
And even though no debt is due,
In their will, does chaos brew.

They’re faceless people,
And we’re voodoo dolls;
All mannequins,
Prancing around in the thickest skins.

Reverence will get you far,
To worship the strong, the mighty, the coward;
Never wish upon a star,
Accept that leashes are meant to scar.

They’re faceless people,
And we’re voodoo dolls;
All mannequins,
They rule the world
They are our kings.
