Verse 1
At the sound of the bell
you will fall fast asleep
Let the sound of my voice
help you never repeat
All the things that you've
done all the people
you've harmed
Just surrender sweet
sweetness surrender
When the curtains go crash
and the knees start to bend
When the filaments burst
and there's no light to lead
You to anywhere useful
you're severed there
All skin on skin left
severed and sucking the wind
Chorus
Marionettes
How they dangle on
strings yet
they never forget
I can't take anymore
I'm over it now
I can't take
anymore Anymore
Verse 2
At the camera's collapse
you will feign deep respect
Let the flash of your past
help you never forget
All the things that you're not
All the people you failed
to remember or return to sender
When there's nowhere but
black and the sharks creeping in
When you're weathered and
torn from the weakest of things
Like the loose-leaf parade
or the rain on electrical wires
Such electrical lives that we
lead I promise that I'll
never leave you alone
(Repeat chorus)
Bridge
Never tasted better
when you tried to let go
Never tasted better
when you tried to let go
Never tasted better
when you tried to let go
Never tasted better
when you tried to let
tried to let go
