Master of Puppets

Cutting off the taunt lead lines
See how Thy card house just folds
Busted nose, thy marble shrines
now covered with story molds

Hold thyself up full of holes
Stiff lips and wooden stances
Like a dull actor's best roles
Regret thy second chances

Marionettes dance their parts
in our ticker tape parades
upon many jigsaw hearts
thy porcelain feet parades
