They call me Puppeteer

dry your tears

golden strings and

fragile dreams

Oh Puppeteer

dry your tears

broken hearts your nimble fingers steer

It's always like this

standing alone here

all on my own here

Is it selfish?

The pain was mounting

Can't let them in here

I'm holding up here

why's the dark so crushing?

and then a figure came

reflecting golden light

and then the air grew still,

I knew it wasn't right

the fear that sprang up in

my heart told me to run

but when he sang so softly I

knew that my fight was gone

Puppeteer

calm your fears

to be alone

this pain I've known

Puppeteer

calm your fears

just let go embrace the warm glow

Puppeteer

dry your tears

golden strings and

fragile dreams

Oh Puppeteer

dry your tears

broken hearts your nimble fingers steer

he's always been here

watching me cry there

he's standing by there

going nowhere

He called her evil

watched what she did there

saw the abuse there

his gaze became wrathful

and then her screaming broke

the silence of the dark

for years the trauma I saw

left its scarring mark

the veil that had consumed

her fell upon me too

He stood beside me singing

that sweet song I almost knew

Puppeteer

calm your fears

to be alone

this pain I've known

Puppeteer

calm your fears

just let go embrace the warm glow

Puppeteer

dry your tears

golden strings and

fragile dreams

Oh Puppeteer

dry your tears

broken hearts your nimble fingers

take all the broken stitch them

up with this golden token

Relief they'll finally feel

even if it isn't real

Puppeteer

calm your fears

to be alone

this pain I've known

Puppeteer

calm your fears

just let go embrace the warm glow

Puppeteer

dry your tears

golden strings and

fragile dreams

Oh Puppeteer

dry your tears

broken hearts your nimble fingers steer
