For fans of nine inch nails, tool, nirvana, sonic youth, faith no more, tomahawk, led zeppelin, pink floyd, melvins,
Mannequin is an independent, experimental, industrial rock band. My music has been described as dark & disturbing, but simultaneously beautiful and honest. Full of revenge for scornful lovers, as well as disgust, self loathing, and regret. The debut album, "Denial Fixation" was finished in 2002. "Straining the Retina" is a concept album started in 2002, and although never officially released, the songs have slowly been surfacing in different forms. "Worn" is the current album for the songs I'm releasing now. I'm looking at releasing it physically and/or digitally later this year. Also see my page on myspace:

Story behind the song
This was from the perspective of my grandfather, who has Alzheimer’s... and was not able to recognize his wife in her last few years.
Lyrics
I have forgotten, Both your name and your face How did we meet? Have we even met? Should I trust & follow you? Should I even go your pace? I know you wanna hold me, In a warm embrace But you don’t understand – I don’t belong here I don’t belong anyplace I don’t belong anyplace I don’t know you I don’t even know my own face I don’t belong here I don’t belong anyplace I don’t recognize you I don’t recognize my own face My best friend is the TV, She comforts me Repetitive and numb She always is there for me Not just on the holidays As if I knew which days those were The news is from the future The past is gone, if it were Ever there, ever… I don’t belong here I don’t belong anyplace I don’t recognize you I don’t recognize my own face I know you want to hold me, in a warm embrace I see it your eyes, And the tears in your face But you don’t understand – I don’t belong here I don’t belong anyplace I don’t recognize you I don’t recognize my own face It’s medication time Why do I need pills? I’m just lost – far from home Locked away with strangers, In a foreign place Nothing is familiar Nothing feels safe I don’t recognize you I don’t recognize my own face
