Marionette

Fall softly by my side,

Ask me why I feel.

Sing the sound of your heart

And learn the value of mine that you steal.

The truth begs a sort of compliance,

The false brings a sort of discord.

The night brings a sort of silence,

But tonight I sing of reward.

I follow the sound through the end

To see a destination,

I find only a cave in the forest

That is filled with desolation.

Sing solace, sing cheer;

Sing worry and fear.

A song to allure the public,

You make yourself its puppet.
