lirik lagu marionette’s scrapbook – pekoe
fancy all this decoration
painted across my face
acrylic eyes and a smile sure are
nice for a canvas of pear wood and grain
i’ll heed your words for you have sewn me
a costume fit for a king
for these silk purple sleeves catch me looks of envy
but as i sit still i can’t help but wince
‘cause how weirdly does this world surround me
overwhelming, yet so terribly empty
you simply tie me to string and tuck me in a pretty box
you say “oh how she’ll love you, you’ll see!” and then send me off
“fill a soul with
tinsel and marvellous playthings
if there’s a hole left unpatched
by sentient beings”
place my hand on my head, is all this mess inside what you call ‘thinking’?
suppose there is more to me than just
simply a puppet wearing its dust
find me sleeping underneath a fir tree
wrapped in a ribboned gleam
give me a name if you may, little princess
let me present to you the tricks up my sleeve
your wish is my command
pull my threads and let’s play pretend
make me dance like a jester on your writing desk
did you know wooden bones are simply the best?
they don’t break and bruise
or get bitten blue
by the nightmares scurrying out to scare you
all of this loneliness, i will trick them away
when the moon rises, i’ll guard you, so dream and be brave
hold me
and give me a tug on these heartstrings
god knows why i’m longing
for your sorrows to mend
place my hand on my chest, there’s something i feel faintly beating
please use all my clothes to dry your eyes
if copper stains tarnish over your sight
they grow up quick and find new things
that they hold dear in their minds
she’s forgotten all about my strings
now she plays with her own kind
how peculiar is this world around me
full of gifts, and yet so terribly tragic
handled with utmost care, yet something still feels broken
but what more can i ask for, she’s happy, so i’ve nothing to spare
fill a soul with
tinsel and marvellous playthings
if there’s a hole left unpatched
by sentient beings
it’s only painful because now i know it’s fulfilling
and just for a toy wearing its dust
with what i have, i’ve sure done enough
