Marionette

Lyrics to one of my songs - written in 2015, released in 2017.

Voices whisper earnestly, 
Suffer quietly 
No one wants to lay with fire 

Quell your sensitivities 
Shame's not pretty 
Sorrow won't invoke desire 

Take the pain and push it down 
Box it up and let it drown 
Never let them see you weak 

I'll be your marionette 
Your puppet love 
Oh dance me joyful 
Waltz me from above 
I'll gaze with glassy eyes 
And painted smile 
You'll never know me dear 
It's all a lie 
It's all a lie 

Tell me how true love should be 
Slow and wary 
Show me how to satisfy 

Take the pain and push it down 
Box it up and let it drown 
Never let them see you weak 

I'll be your marionette 
Your puppet love 
Oh dance me joyful 
Waltz me from above 
I'll gaze with glassy eyes 
And painted smile 
You'll never know me dear 
It's all a lie 

I'll be your marionette..... 
Oh dance me joyful 
Waltz me from above 
I'll gaze with glassy eyes 
And painted smile 
You'll never know me dear 
It's all a lie 
It's all a lie

Author's Note

I wasn't sure whether or not I should label Verse, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, etc. I decided to go without and write it out as it's heard in the song.
