Marionette Lyrics

A message in a bottle on a stubborn ocean

Along the lines of space time and every path chosen

A message to a man who no longer exists

The number that you're calling is no longer in service

Did he get where he was going?

Were the thrills ever enough?

Bioluminescent glowing deeper than light of the sun

For the son of suffering can tell you life's not always fun

Because sometimes you're the target and then sometimes you're the gun

And I'm afraid it might be time to let go

Wounds sewn up and they're gonna be fine though the might bleed out from time to time

Keep an eye on that till the blood is dry

And

Pray until you fucking die

Your soul is mine

Your eyes are blind

Your heart is black

Blank is your mind

You're a marionette on a string and I sing

But you'll never know the difference you know nothing

Message to a man that I think I know well

Though he'd say hell no I only know because he is myself

No he's not too fond of me

But I wasn't either when I was 18

Sand still trickles down from the sour glass

Still alive somewhere no matter how much time has passed

A message to a man who at one point was me

I hope he's feeling better I hope that he succeeds

I needed closure I'm never gonna get

So just console me for my worries just for a little bit

Broken shards of glass with a message in the middle

Difficult to discern what it means like a riddle

Chip away at the marble maybe little by little

The statue of David was just a block and a chisel

So I'm closer to the end than I am to the start

Fall apart reform abstract work of art

Like a storm so calm til it's not then some more

Closing one seems to open other doors

My message in the bottle is reaching a distant shore

Always been a search I'm just not sure what for

Wounds sewn up and they're gonna be fine though the might bleed out from time to time

Keep an eye on that till the blood is dry

And

Pray until you fucking die

Your soul is mine

Your eyes are blind

Your heart is black

Blank is your mind

You're a marionette on a string and I sing

But you'll never know the difference you know nothing

I'll play no more I'm demanding control

Cutting the strings off of my soul off of

My love my life my fucking mind I seek but I cannot find

In desperate need of air to breathe

In desperate need of anything

In desperate need deeper meaning

In desperate need to stop the bleeding
