Marionettes

At the sound of the bell you will fall fast asleep
Let the sound of my voice help you never repeat
All the things that you’ve done, all the people you’ve harmed
Just surrender sweet sweetness surrender
When the curtains go crash and the knees start to bend
When the filaments burst and there’s no light to lead
You to anywhere useful you’re severed there
All skin on skin left severed and sucking the wind
Marionettes
How they dangle on strings yet they never forget
I can’t take anymore. I'm over it now
I can’t take anymore. Anymore
At the camera’s collapse you will feign deep respect
Let the flash of your past help you never forget
All the things that you’re not
All the people you failed to remember or return to sender
When there’s nowhere but black and the sharks creeping in
When you’re weathered and torn from the weakest of things
Like the loose-leaf parade or the rain on electrical wires
Such electrical lives that we lead
I promise that I’ll never leave you alone
Marionettes
How they dangle on strings yet they never forget
I can’t take anymore. I’m over it now
I can’t take anymore. Anymore
Never tasted better when you tried to let go
Never tasted better when you tried to let go
Never tasted better when you tried to let go
Never tasted better when you tried to let go
Never tasted better when you tried to let
Marionettes
How they dangle on strings yet they never forget
I can’t take anymore. I’m over it now
I can’t take anymore. Anymore
Marionettes dangle on strings
Marionettes know everything
Marionettes dangle on strings
Marionettes know everything
