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 the hatchet?

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