lyrics

oh boy, perception is the key
oh fire, the shadows dance for me
i awoke, to recognize an unfamiliar place
i exposed myself into the puppet show parade

tonight we'll pull the strings together
these curtain walls won't hold forever

the sun above the mountains head
a freshening luster mellow
and though the trees are long and dead
leaves are still green and yellow

oh child, dreams are what you eat
oh liars, cutting up your teeth
i misspoke when talking is a feat that isn't reached
i'm a ghost that isn't dead but has yet to be seen

tonight we'll pull the strings together
these curtain walls won't hold forever

the sun above the mountains head
a freshening luster mellow
and though the trees are long and dead
leaves are still green and yellow
and though the time for us has ended
we will sleep for hours

cause i awoke one day and i saw myself
i said i better get away before i hurt myself
well i only got a glimpse because i didn't wanna look
i said a rape is a rape but they still misunderstood
that time after time, if it's still in the books
well a crime is a crime if the criminal's a crook
well the question is whether we should guess for the answer
or in the question the problem that started the whole matter
