Lyrics

THE MARIONETTE'S PARADE

Whose strings are these that lift my arms
What of these dreams that work their charms
With dancing meters and bright red clothes
We entertain on tippy toes

Look at this, look at me
I wish I knew just how to be
You shake my hand, I walk like this
You only see external bliss

CHORUS
Our acting is deserving all the love that's in your hearts
and you're clapping cause you're happy to see the marionette's march
We entertain you and sustain you as we fill our life's crusade
But you fail to see our tears inside the marionette's parade

I want so much to be so real
And feel those things that people feel
I need so much to have a heart
And not to live a world apart

Pull my strings make me sing
Make me do amazing things
Let me fly don't ask why
I hide this sadness deep inside

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I'm happy when I'm on the stage
That's when I feel I got it made
So sad when I'm back on the shelf
And must deny my one true self

CHORUS

Reminds me of Eric Clapton. Nice and simple, but it's enough. Since there aren't a ton of instruments, backups, etc. the changes in the song helped to keep my attention. Chill vibes, but still has some build. I like the movement in the chorus. The lyrics tell a story that's easy to follow. Relatable subject matter.

The acoustic guitar work is superb. Great vocal performance..the singer sells the song with conviction and his vocal tone is outstanding. Very strong lyrics and the rhyming scheme with half rhymes and mid phrase rhymes which is highly effective. Nice structure to the song.

Good voice.
