Like Puppets

As summertime came rushing in, I thought we were both fine
The mist of indolence descended on our town

I was too hesitant and I fell onto the road
We tried to speak in Morse but I couldn't break the code
I'm the mist at dawn, flowing down the valley
I clinched the air along, yet I was hugging nobody

And sometimes I wonder
Why we can't seem to tear down the wall
If this is the last time
You'll make me freeze just like a doll

We're on the moon, where we always pass away
Where the slightest gesture is as immense as the sea
Walking on eggshells, we slip and fall away
Like puppets that cut their strings and we go astray

You kept it as a secret, but I felt it in my skin
Dissonance arose when I was born
Letting go of myself became my past habit
Prepared to let go even more

Now I live somewhere else, I jumped through the craters
Going further and further than Jupiter
Still, I recall all your precious letters
We're a billion miles apart and I'll treasure them forever

Sometimes I wonder
Why we can't seem to tear down the wall
If this is the last time
You'll make me freeze just like a doll

And we live again then we always pass away
Like puppets that cut their strings and we go astray
We're on the moon, and we always pass away
Where the slightest gesture is as immense as the sea

After two moves, we always pass away
Like puppets that cut their strings and we go astray
Walking on eggshells, we slip and fall away
Like puppets that cut their strings
And then
We go astray
