Shadow Puppets
The curtain falls the lights are hung
A hollow hand applause is rung
The light will catch your empty stare
A hurricane has combed your hair
Are you falling?
Don't you need to live a while?
Silence hides a hollow feeling
The stranger is in silhouette
Paranoia rests its head
The staircase creeks you're not alone
The silent answered telephone
Is a warning
Don't you need to live a while?
Before you hide an inner screaming
A crowd pleasing phrase
A promise of something new
Just buys alternating truth
Fear will strike a cross within the booth
It's the one time i needed you
With shadow puppets coming home to roost
His words crash like a china plate
She paints a fish on roller skates
A child's ear pressed against the door
The shoes you kicked across the floor
Is it boring you?
Don't you need to live a while?
Silence hides a hollow feeling
The choices that confronted them
Were simply Machiavellian
The Speaker's hand is far too deft
The curtain draws its final breath
Is it dawning now?
Don't you need to live a while?
Before you hide your inner screaming
With a crowd pleasing phrase
A promise of something new
Is buying a wide eyed ruse
That only digs a shallow grave of truth
It's the one time i needed you
Are shadow puppets coming home to roost?
The rabbit hole where lies begun
The single bullet barrel spun
A song born from a mandolin
Between your thighs eternal sin
Is it morning now?
Don't you need to live a while?
Silence hides a hollow feeling
The horse that bolts an unlocked gate
The fifty two the forty eight
This wasn't what i voted for
Democracy's become a whore
Are you yawning?
Don't you need to live a while?
Your silence hides an inner screaming
Premier
Your mind's playing tricks on you
Delusion is seeping through
The less you win the more you've got to lose
All reason is leaving you
As shadow puppets make a home to roost
