"Puppet Master" lyrics

Been chasing paper dragons with every card that I've been dealt
Through equilibrium to keep a promise to myself
Gonna need a better way to salvage things that are better for my health
Gonna need a muse that isn't justifying how you felt

People might need me to be strong more than ever now
It's pretty damp in here
Sometimes the only reason to keep digging is so you never let them down
It's pretty damp in here

I am both the puppet and the master
Saturated in the things that kill me faster
And I might have just to slap your name on
The next recurring natural disaster

Most crutches collapse and most habits relapse
And I can't get out of bed today, so there's that
The birds are singing but I can't find the key
A flock akin to a dissonant harmony

People might need me to be strong more than ever now
It's pretty damp in here
Sometimes the only reason to keep digging is so you never let them down
It's pretty damp in here

I am both the puppet and the master
Saturated in the things that kill me faster
I am both the puppet and the master
Saturated in the things that kill me faster
And I might have just to slap your name on
The next recurring natural disaster

I am the puppet and the master (Master, master)

The cracks in the corners of the wall are slowly getting wider
The house is settling and so am I, or so I think
And I am damp and cold like the water damage slowly eating through the roof
I am older than this house and hence conceited living proof
It's pretty damp in here

I am the puppet and the master (Master, master)

I am both the puppet and the master
Saturated in the things that kill me faster
And I might have just to slap your name on
The next recurring natural disaster
