Marionettes, Inc. II (No Strings Attached) Lyrics by Arida Vortex

The Illustrated Man

2015

Intro
Gears turn, gears grind the time
Plastic face, a mechanic heart
Does your flesh make you who you are?
Does my face make my being a crime?
Just let me go, I'm begging you: enough
And I'm not half the human that you are
Just let me live, I need no other prize
You're wearing my face that's mirrored in your eyes
Locked in the box
Bent down and wretched
All that I want is just no strings attached
I close my eyes:
Darkness wipes the pai
Electric rivers drill their way
Inside my veins
Butterfly spreads electric wings
Is the butterfly my dream
Or am I his?
Box is closed, time's an endless snake
Lying in my coffin, will I ever wake?
Summer turns, slowly fade the leaves
Mortal thing, will you let me live?
Just let me go, I'm begging you: enough!
And I'm not half the human that you are
Just let me leave, I need no other prize
I never stole the face that's mirrored in your eyes
Locked in the box
Bent down and wretched
All that I want is just no strings attached
Gears turn
Gears cut the strings
In return for what I've lost
What do they bring?
In my garden electric flowers bloom
Is this world my promised fate
Or my doom?
Solo
Just let me go, I'm begging you: enough
And I'm not half the human that you are
Just let me live, I need no other prize
You're wearing my face that's mirrored in your eyes
Locked in the box
Bent down and wretched
All that I want is just no strings attached
Butterfly slowly spreads its wings
Is the butterfly my dream
Or am I his?
Now in my house another person lives
Is this man my evil twin
Or am I his?
