Marionette

"There's some kind of pain"
"In a lot of us"
"We just don't want to feel anymore"
"Pain says to us"
"Hell-"
"It'd be better off just feeling nothing at all"
"No, no, no (no, no, no, no, no)"
"And our souls go numb"

We have nowhere to call home
Childish dreams are long gone
Buried in the crumbling concrete
Shadows cast on blackened steel

Left living here in your waste
Hungry mouths fill with ashes
Bonfires burn, private nightmares
Every night, in every city

"Pain says to us"
"It'd be better off just feeling nothing at all"

I let the insects be my legacy
Nightmares are my only dreams
I'm all stitched together, I'm tearing at the seams
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me?

All we see are ruined lives
Reflecting images of our failures
All we hear are whispered crimes
Confessions made with blistered lips

Agony becomes a symphony
While we look on helplessly
When misery is the only currency
It will be our turn to be the wealthy

"Pain says to us"
"It'd be better off just feeling nothing at all"
"Until we go numb"
"And our souls go numb"

I let the insects be my legacy (Use me)
Nightmares are my only dreams (Use me)
I'm all stitched together, I'm tearing at the seams (Use me)
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me? (Use me)

I let the insects be my legacy (Use me)
Threadbare puppet, I'm twisting in agony (Use me)
Mouth wide open and I'm frozen in a silent scream (Use me)
Pull my strings, tell me, how will you use me?
