Marionettes |
Sometimes an empire doesn’t fall |
As masked invaders climb the walls |
Or spreading fires or rising floods |
Sometimes it dies within |
The king and queen, they go to bed |
On years of quiet neglect |
To find the coffers bare but with |
The musk of arrogance |
With me, you’re making the same mistakes I made with you |
I couldn’t convey I felt the same |
It’s true, we’re marionettes |
But we pull the strings |
And here as we dance, we tangle |
I’m spinning you round and closer we’re wound |
We’re marionettes |
There’s comfort in a holding hand |
A schedule on which you depend |
A cage in which you’re snugly penned |
That’s what we have become |
A cyclone in a glass of wine |
We both have wishbones for a spine |
But how long will we play this record’s tattered side |
Afraid to change the song? |
