Marionette

(الألبوم: The Incubus - 2016)

The stage is set for the scene
The special guest it must be me
Cause I'm the only one in this room
Except for my love, on stage, who's tied up awaiting doom

To my surprise suddenly I see
On stage his scene partner is me
So I'll sit down and take my seat
Enjoy the show meant just for me

The torturous rage that's performed on this stage
As I gaze at myself playing this role
It makes me feel whole when I'm in full control
I'm no longer a doll that you own

She cuts, slices, watches the blood drip down his arm
Just for the rush
He's confused. What will he do?
No intermission, onto act two!

I'll string you up
Make you my puppet
Hook in your arms and legs
My special marionette!

The torturous rage that's performed on this stage
As I gaze at myself playing this role
(Never felt this way before)
It makes me feel whole when I'm in full control
I'm no longer a doll that you own

You've ruined me and everything
That used to seem pleasant to me
Is now a broken mockery
Nostalgic lost reality
But now it seems within these dreams
The power all belongs to me
And now you know there is no hope
So I'll take this knife and slice it through your throat!

For you there is no hope!

You've ruined me and everything
That used to seem pleasant to me
Is now a broken mockery
Nostalgic lost reality
But now it seems within these dreams
The power all belongs to me
And now you know there is no hope
So I'll take this knife and slice it through your throat

The torturous rage that's performed on this stage
As I gaze at myself playing this role
(Never felt this way before)
It makes me feel whole when I'm in full control
I'm no longer a doll that you own
