Dummy [The Falling Wallendas featuring Todd Sucherman]

Dummy
Written by Allen Keller and Scott Bennett

Lead Vocals by Scott Bennett

She comes in unconcerned
Lips swollen and beard burned
Won't even lie to me
Doesn't have the decency

When I am all alone
Sit lifeless by the phone
Not moving here nor there
The dummy waits

A mouth that cannot say
Two legs that cannot walk away
I can't do anything
Can't even cut these strings

When I am all alone
Sit lifeless on the phone
Not moving here nor there
The dummy waits

Cause I'm the dummy
Dummy dummy
I'm your dummy
Dummy dummy dummy

I cannot close my eyes
No matter how I try
And crying does no good
The tears only rot my wood

And I am all alone
Sit lifeless by the phone
Not moving here nor there
The dummy waits

Cause I'm the dummy
Dummy dummy
I'm your dummy
Dummy dummy

And this is my song
Put me away
If I sing too long

Cause I'm the dummy
Dummy dummy dummy

Interpretation

I should just leave her, but I can't. She goes out and does whatever she wants, and I sit at home crying waiting for her. I'm a fool.
