The Puppet in The Masquerade

We stand again, hand in hand Just like 'way back when', I look left, you're still here, I look right, you're still here. We're all still here, but you're both miles apart. Do you still see me here? Or do you see the words: it's alright, come to me, speak to me, I'll be your Safety Net. Here we go again darling, I'll hold your hand this time and the next. What a glamorous game, as you all hand each other the knives. They're poison tipped, each end, just so you know. Every move you make to hurt one another, bounces back. Stabbed in the back ten times, And I'll heal your wounds. Both of you, three of you, crowd of you tearing each other apart. I'm the bridge to both of you, And it's becoming frayed. Back and forth across this silver ballroom floor, Carrying the messages for you each, you say sorry but the blood is washed all over my hands.
