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
