Marionette

Drowning in my sins again
Their fingers are reaching
Their nails are sinking
Into my skin

Puppets always filing in
Are their eyes saying something
Mutters and mumbling
Of cryptic hymns

Twine and thread suspending them
But their feet should be dragging
Their bodies are floating
Above the ground

From above the ground

Take me
Tie your strings around me
All I am is what you take away
I am in a floating casket

We are
Weightless from the wire
Living on a stage of negligence
Who's the one who holds the hatchet

These strings on me keeping me from this
The gallow falling beneath my feet

The one above the marionette
Is offering something
Salvation or blinding
Motivation

The twisting of my arm again
You're bringing me nothing
A puppet that's falling
In the abyss

Take me
Tie your strings around me
All I am is what you take away
I am in a floating casket

We are
Weightless from the wire
Living on a stage of negligence
Who's the one who holds the hatchet

Who's the one who holds the hatchet

Take me
Tie your strings around me
All I am is what you take away
I am in a floating casket

We are
Weightless from the wire
Living on a stage of negligence
Who's the one who holds hatchet

These strings on me keeping me from this
The gallow falling beneath my feet
