Your gross fabrication of pretense could bore, Yet still I fall victim to syntax omitted, Just shy of something I could understand So blissful, I press on to the sound of the organs Playing their most convincing tunes As they serenade to the parade of paid-off parts
And now the only thing left to discuss is The details of this armistice We've come to this agreement...
Check my vitals The truth is vile, but vital to this cause I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell Give me gravity, give me clarity, Give me something to rely on
We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings) We're all marionettes We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for) We're all marionettes
These body parts are parts of plans, Passed by my hands My hands shake through handshakes, Forsaken by my limbs My limbs sing the hymns; The hymns of a tyrant in a crumbling pantheon As inhabitants will raise their fists and bid him to disarm
Check my vitals The truth is vile, but vital to this cause I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell Give me gravity, give me clarity, Give me something to rely on
We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings) We're all marionettes We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for) We're all marionettes [x2]
And now the only thing left to discuss is The details of this armistice We've come to this agreement...
Oh, how I've been teething (Tell me who's pulling the strings) In light of your misleading You've caused this collapse (Tell me who's that you move for) Between the heart and the synapse [x2]
[Previous stanza continues in the background] We're all puppets We're all marionettes We're all puppets We're all marionettes [x2]
[Whispered] ...The strings and joints will join us together... The strings and joints will join us The strings and joints will join us together...
