Marionettes

Stand back do me a favor

Harp down before you wake her

Bitter side that comes through on those

Heavy nights when it's no use

And we're using words that

Hit like bombs and burst right through

Our perfect plan to be together

Wrapped up in strings, now forever

Switch the way the roles go in my head

Who's on the string and who's the marionette?

Guiding fate, is it me or your pretension?

Whichever way I turn I feel defenseless

Sell me back control I'll pay whatever price

Switch the way the roles go in my head

Who's on the string and who's the marionette?

Tangled up in twisted fascination

Either way I try but can't escape it

I don't know what I'll lose but I'll roll the dice
