Puppets
We lived in a far away land
where no body knew
what anyone else had.
They lived their lives
going through the days,
letting everything pass by.
Did you ever wonder why
people here are so calm,
they never seem to cry.
Everything is so quiet
no crickets, no birds,
even the wind is silent.
One day to a lady I asked
why people here don't talk
but my words she didn't seem to understand.
I tried screaming at you,
but you were so happy,
you had forgotten me.
I started to go crazy
for only I could see,
their souls had became lazy.
So I tried to run away
but everytime I'd close my eyes,
everything would begin again.
