about

The song is a visualization of Lyons' inner struggle with who he is and who he is becoming.

lyrics

Paint is drying now.
Ready for the show.
I believe my joints are oiled.
But I don't know.

I wish I knew him.
The man behind the wheel.
I wish I knew why I think and why I feel.

He knows just how to pull my strings and
Make me dance the dance I always do,
But I wish he'd see life through my eyes
So he could hurt.

I can see him here.
Look him in the eye.
And the blankest stare comes back across the sky.

He knows just how to pull my strings and
Make me dance the dance I always do,
And I wish he'd see life through my eyes
So he could hurt.

Just a marionette
All I will ever know.
Then I hear the familiar shhh.
It's time for you to go.

He knows just how to pull my strings and
Make me dance the dance I always do,
And I wish he'd see life through my eyes
So he could hurt.
