the puppet's gift - springlily afton lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i wear this painted smile
my strings are not my own
i’ve forgotten what the sun feels like
or how to find my way home

they left me in the rain
outside the colored walls
now i’m the one who never sleeps
who answers all their calls

[chorus]
i give and give and give
this gift i cannot name
breathing life into the hollow things
that wear a child’s face
i’m the music, i’m the box
i’m the one who stays awake
trapped inside this sh*ll of cloth and wire
while they all celebrate

[verse 2]
i remember being small
before the box, before the strings
now i’m keeper of the broken toys
the guardian of wounded things
my father’s hands created this
this prison made of care
i reach through seams and stitching now
to children everywhere

[chorus]
i give and give and give
this gift i cannot name
breathing life into the hollow things
that wear a child’s face
i’m the music, i’m the box
i’m the one who stays awake
trapped inside this sh*ll of cloth and wire
while they all celebrate

[bridge]
do you see me in their eyes?
when they move, am i there?
i pour myself through metal bones
my love becomes their stare

[outro]
the music plays
the children dance
i’m somewhere in between
neither here nor gone
just holding on
to what i’ve never been
[instrumental fade]
