Hello my darling dear
I’ve always been right here
Waiting for you, waiting for you
What’s that, my darling dear?
Suddenly I can’t hear you
Cat got your tongue?
Puppeteer, puppeteer
There’s no need to fear
Puppeteer, puppeteer
You're my love, the one I hold so dear
I’m known to be the one (you're slipping away)
Who’s always good with love (i can't hold on)
I make purrfect matches both red and pale (to you)
There's no room for mistake (we’re falling apart)
I never miscalculate (why won’t you hold)
I could never fail (to me)
Right?
So what is this sinister feeling?
Why do you insist on disappearing?
Why do I black out on a whim,
Then wake some place I’ve never been?
Where are you, my darling dear?
Suddenly I can’t hear at all
Cat got your tongue?
Puppeteer, puppeteer
What of you should I fear
Puppeteer, puppeteer
Suddenly nothing is so clear
Lapses in memory as
Your darkness takes hold of me
The screams of damned fall on deaf ears
A bittersweet melody only I can hear
Is this pity or is this love?
Or is my decision one I’m not a part of?
Logic begs for me to get away
But how do I live without you beside me?
Puppeteer, Puppeteer
Now you’re here, I see you crystal clear.
~~ jumbled mess :)) ~~
Puppeteer, Puppeteer
I’m paralyzed with fear
Puppeteer, Puppeteer
You’re slipping away, I can’t hold on to you
We’re falling apart, why won’t you hold
You’re slipping away, hold on.
