Stargazer heart, peaceful mind
Pulling strings, puppet smile, puppet heart
Dangling feet, ready to fall into the unknown
Kiss bruised lips, pre-Raphaelite beauty
Held up by strings, painted milky smile
Wicked game, stolen fame
forgotten pain, trickling shame
Wild made tame, tied to strings
Sat on the one trick pony
Galaxy glare into fake gold, held in the hand
Sultry stare in summer solstice smile
hold my hand
Ring leader rules, obey or pay
pull the strings of the broken doll, make her dance
amber tears in moonlight delight
which slide by, unnoticed
in the slow wake of October days
