Puppet Show - Ally Venable Band

Puppet king, oh puppet king When you sleep do you dream of control? Everything, run by strings Your shadow has a voice of its own Puppet king, oh puppet king Have your subjects found out that you're dead? Whispers sing in the wind The puppet mob has come for you head Puppet show Puppet show Puppet king, oh puppet king The end is near The curtains come down Hear them sing, dance and drink A puppet king without a puppet crown All the children sing Of a crownless king When the children sing Then you will know... The puppet show

Goodbye to the one that I once knew I could never change just to love you Looked me in my face, said I was insane Playing all your little games, games, games Oh, tried to dim my flame I shine brighter And you tried to dull my blade Well, keep trying And you tried to pull me under Said I was too much You're just not enough I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet Hello to the one that I am now Guess it didn't go how you planned out Little did you know, I'm my own Geppetto And now you get to watch me go, go, go Oh, tried to dim my flame I shine brighter And you tried to dull my blade Well, keep trying And you tried to pull me under Said I was too much You're just not enough I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet Pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet

Wake up, reach to silence a dying phone Set sail, hide the precious cargo Glad you're well But there's things I don't wanna know You're askin' why Why do I hide it all inside of me? What can I say? You're askin' why You're askin' why Fuck it You're askin' why Why I'm crying always trying just to be on my own? You're asking why Why I see myself in all the distant places you go? You're asking why We live, we die We fight, with pride You're asking why Why I'm nearly letting envy get between you and I? Why? It's hard to know Make time, real fighters don't give up on their dreams How am I another victim of jealousy? Can't tell if you really believe in me! You're askin' why (Why it's not easier?) You're askin' why (It's not easier to be me) It's hard to be alone! You're asking why Why I see myself in all the distant places you go? You're asking why We live, we die We fight, with pride (Set sail, hide the precious cargo) You're asking why Why I'm nearly letting envy get between you and I? Why? It's hard to know (You're askin' why)
