about

We all have secrets that we feel others will judge us on. Marionette is a song about breaking free from societal norms. Norms are so often not created by what is best for everyone but by what has always been considered ‘normal.’

We hope this song will give us all something to reconnect over in these isolating times.

So cut your ‘puppet strings’ and rock out with us.

lyrics

Pretty as a picture you framed me
Like a mirror
All principle and no perspective
My image
Flickers

Your marionette veins run deep
But I'm cut free

Hey you, just nodding along
To the song that says I'm broken
Hey you, on the puppet strings
Cut them loose
And bleed with me

Dancing to their witch hunt beat you lose me
To the fire
In pain-filled hide and seek I'm silenced
Your shame
Runs wild

Your marionette veins run deep
But I'm cut free

Hey you, just nodding along
To the song that says I'm broken
Hey you, on the puppet strings
Cut them loose
And bleed with me

And I can never change your mind
Or speak mine
And so I watch as you condemn me
And my kind

Your monster lives inside of me
And I'm on fire
You love just enough of me
That I'll survive

Your marionette veins run deep
But I'm cut free

Hey you, just nodding along
To the song that says I'm broken
Hey you, on the puppet strings
Cut them loose
And bleed with me

Hey you, (Hey you!) stop nodding along
Oh yeah
Hey you (Hey you!) cut the puppet strings
And bleed with me
