The Marionette Sang (Remastered)

[Hook – Looping Throughout] you gave me dreams you gave me saints you gave me everything but the end [Verse 1] i ran barefoot through the prayer humdrum tongue chasing sugar trails the lesson was fettered and the shrine lost in feelings but i didn’t notice— til the marionette sang [Chorus] pull the vex from my tongue let me drown in worship songs my skin doesn’t fit because the vessel was always within i can’t feel what’s real but the marionette still sang and i didn’t notice— no, i didn’t notice til i came apart as the song rang [Hook – Looping Throughout] you gave me dreams you gave me saints you gave me everything but the end [Verse 2] you stitched it in the lining of everything I-i-i-i-i-i- couldn't leave the grass tickles my feet but it doesn’t remember me double life hanging from the chair a rose left in the drain you said it wasn’t worship but it bled the same [Bridge – Collapse] i was lacquered shut / you were humdrum paces / pulling lines from gallow teeth while the jukebox shakes in place the fireflies watched me undo prayer by prayer by prayer with you— you gave me saints but not a way out of your roots the marionette grinned with my voice in her throat [Outro – Echo] you gave me dreams you gave me saints you gave me everything but the end (pause) and the marionette sang. and the marionette sang. and the marionette sang.
