lyrics

encore, encore
my sparkling star
you say it all the time
and you hold me by my heart
and at the end of the night
i want you for myself
yearning for your arms
but i'm trapped on the shelf

i feel so special on those days
you stop to adore me
un-knot my strings and patch me up
proceed to ignore me

you made me your Marionette,
then acted like we never met.
honey at the time
you seemed so cool,so cruel.
you made me a part of your show,
and in the spotlight i would glow.
a round of applause for you,
for being so good at what you do.

goodnight, goodnight
won't you tuck me in?
come sing me a lullaby
with your mouthful of sin
and in my dreams of the night,
i finally come to life
but i'm just a lifeless doll
in the lemon sunrise

it seems to me that you can't breathe
when they pull the curtain
manipulators get so nervous
when they're uncertain

and you feel
all the silence
wrapping round you like diamonds.
spinning downwards and tangling
all the strings of my conscience.
