Puppets

(album: Our Shadows Will Remain - 2004)

Give less than I take
Dream you up as anything
I have no memory
Every moment, eternally

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

I cut myself
But no blood came
And no one helped
Strings that we can't see
Puppet you
And puppet me

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else

And you don't know
What its like to try
To change where you go
And break the lie
And you never show
What its like inside
To raise your (nose?)
And break your pride

Hearts crack like canes
As children break the spider's legs
Strays out in our yards
Of buried bones and boulevards

I wanna try
To get away from everybody else
To get away from everybody else
