Fable Lyrics

Once upon a time lived a naughty boy

Built a labyrinth with his broken toys

Oh

It came in waves in violent droves

What he enslaves won't let him go

He fears the worst and knows it's yet to come

A messy trail of breadcrumbs

Forgot which way he came from

It's the closest thing to remembering

His fables flawed his lies snow white

Can't change the facts can't twist them right

Oh

He likes to think his reckoning

Ends with escape, no suffering

He's baffled by his own maneuvering

His fiction all but captured

Redacted several chapters

It's the next best thing to surrendering

Sing puppet sing

Tangled in your strings

Sick puppet sick

From all your treats and tricks

Drunk puppet drink

Take some time and

Sleep it off until the those fools

Find out just what you've done

Might have chipped a tooth on his silver spoon

Every time it aches reminds him of the truth

Oh

Never lives it down never let's it be

When he cups his ears he finds them whispering

Reenacts the past without apology

Comeuppance ain't enough when

There's loopholes 'round the knots but

He's hung himself on the family tree

Swing puppet swing

Tangled in your strings

Sick puppet sick

Of all your treats and tricks

Drunk puppet drin

Take some time

To think about the ones you're letting down
