Marionette

Marionette speaking my precious secret
Sitting in the spotlight, everyone must already know
Soon after the curtains are closing
I'm falling down, on weak legs, to my knees
I've never wanted solitude as my friend before

The whispers, I'm screaming "go away!"
Marionette is staring as I let go

The days go by in the one place
Wish it change but everythings somehow the same
The one who made me how I'am today is gone
I'm still waiting
My tattered cloths and loosened joints
Fall apart but I'll still be doing what I do
To see his face and be his voice
Once more in the spotlight, I want to be

The cheering, I'm hearing sweet voices
Watch me raise my hands high
While my strings touch the ground
My eyes water for the first time
Master is just like me
Hanging by a string

But for some reason I feel he's always been with me
He's always been the reason I moved
I think I'll just sit right here with you forever
When tomorrow brings a surpirse

The days go by in that one place
Wishing it stay this way forever
Still I'm not immune to the ticking clock
I want to keep waiting
I know now how this should end
I'll give back the life you've given me
Marionette after all is meant to be lifeless
In your control

I awake once more, my heartbeat racing
I look to the floor, a familiar friend
The years we've hurt, have got to end
With one or the other
I can't pretend it's perfect again
the scars are there, they won't disappear
A puppet with broken strings I pick it up
And watch it fall apart, crumbling within my arms...
