"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 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 it's scarring mark
He stood behind 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 steer"
Take all the broken
Stitch them up
With this golden token
Relief they'll finally feel
Even if it isn't real
"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"
