The Puppet and the Puppeteer

I was elsewhere as usual minding my own again News that the king set alight to his throne again Holding his wrists to the flames to be whole again And asking for me Somehow, he thought he could dream his way out of here Saying goodbye in his blood as he disappeared Ah, but what would I do without you, my puppeteer? You don't wanna know I need a rethink Part of the same curse I know you took it all, a great deal worse Go and tell father I know you can't lie Thinking that you're needed out As am I, yeah I want you to know that I'm fully responsible It was I had the life that made you so uncomfortable I was the one with the out-looking point of view Traveling alone Selfishly, I thought that you had forgotten me That was the fuel for my drunken apology Riding the wave of a blissful autonomy I call it my own I need a rethink Part of the same curse I know you took it all, a great deal worse Go and tell father I know you can't lie Thinking that you're needed out As am I It's the end of the line, and no wonder I never knew Got that gold bayonet handed down by a saint to you Well, forgive me for thinking it was mine to take from you Blind, now I see I need a rethink Part of the same curse I know you took it all, a great deal worse Go and tell father I know you can't lie Thinking that you're needed out As am I As am I Take cover We never could lie Just like father As am I
