Close To Good Marionettes
[Chorus]
I find it hard to say
If I'm alive today
When I am surrounded by
Plastic words and twisting lies
Like every day is steered
By unseen puppeteers
Tightly wound, we're tied with string
Tangled up in everything
[Bridge 1]
Hanging form the hand that feeds
Powerless in dreams
[Verse 1]
I've found another way out of this trance
Would you cut the strings if you had the chance
Suspension is a way to strangle out what lies ahead
And when I sleep at night I'm feeling more alive than dead
[Bridge 2]
Hanging from the hands that feeds
So I dream until I'm free
[Verse 2]
Like fishes in the ocean
That's way beyond the sand
With no thoughts or understanding of the land
Couldn't there be a world above
This murky gravity
Hanging out of reach
[Chorus]
I find it hard to say
If I'm alive today
When I am surrounded by
Plastic words and twisting lies
Like every day is steered
By unseen puppeteers
Tightly wound
We're tied with strings
Tangled up in everything
I found another way out of this trance
Would you cut the string if you had the chance
And dream until you're free
[Outro]
If this reality
Would start unravelling
Keep on travelling
Like puppets on string
Intentions are in tension
By try to sever ties
Why most of us are lost in fact
When there are no strings attached
