Absent Minded

mechanical puppeteers


You pull
These strings
Down next

Needless eyes
Needing a breath

You are my voice
Mech-an-ic-al
You are my soul
Mech-an-ic-al
You are my death
The voice
That makes me
Whole

Knowledge is a string I pull
That drags you along
Understandings
Are the strings
You harp upon
Ignorance is the string
You pull that drags me how
Tomorrow is the string
We strummed yesterday
          Vibrating now

Pulling these strings
Conspiring
Another hit
Needless smiles
Are my spit
My voice, my soul
You are my breath
Mechanical
You are my breath
Mech-anical
You are this breath
And the sin that makes this Whole

Mech                    no no no
Can                    I won't know
Ic                    no no no
Al                    I don't know
You are my
Mechanical puppets
Mechanical puppeted tears
Mechanical puppets
I'm your mechanical puppeteer

Knowledge is this string
You pull that drags me along
Uderstandings are the strings
I harp upon
Ignorance is the string I pull
That drags you how
Tomorrow is the string
We strummed yesterday
And it vibrating now
Vibrating now
Can you feel it now
Do you feel me inside yourself
Am I vibrating
Are we vibrating now?

I know that I know nothing
Know that I know
The nothing that you know
You know nothing
No
I know you know the nothing that I know

Pull my strings
Cut discord
Pull these strings
Of my mechanical
Fears of years and tears
Pull these strings
And you
Are mechanical.
