Shadow Puppets

Youth brings with it naivety

Not of a negative kind, but one of purity

And obscurity can hurt the mind at that time

Telling lies becomes addictive

And inflicting that on someone so young is harmful, no matter how far flung

When you can’t see far, shadow puppets become God

All knowing, showing you what to do

Or is it do what I say, not what I do?

I can’t remember, and now you are mad

And now I am scared and now I am sad

I just want to be loved and I just want to be me

I want to be free but I am always scared

Of the one who owns the hands who casts the puppets

Don’t Blame Me

Don’t blame me for all this

How was I supposed to know?

It isn’t my fault that the cracks are starting to show

I followed my heart right from the start

You expect me to do the research though?

The experts say this and the experts say that

And you know what? I’m sick to death of it

I am not wrong, I cannot be wrong

So fuck you, you little shit
