The Puppeteer Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

I welcome you to paradise 

It's what you wished for 

A mountain of filth haunted by tortured shrieks of the dead 

I know you'll love it here 

Time stops and once again i'm stranded nowhere 

And yet again I'm so confused 

Why stop 

It honestly can't get much worse 

And I'm better off here than on my own 

Step right up, come one and all 

I will be your host tonight 

Welcome to the dreams of hell 

You're in for a wild ride 

It's strange but I feel right at home 

It's odd but I don't want to go 

Am I a fool, am I crazy to want to stay, do I belong 

Another time, another place, this will do just fine 

Foolish mortal, what did you think 

That you'd shackle the hands of time 

And defeat the gods themselves 

Sweet vanity you're my favorite sin 

Swallow mountains and choke on them 

Then drown yourself on Lazarus 

Spread your wings and grab the sun 

Sweet vanity you're my favorite sin 

Pretty lady let's dance 

I bet you thought that you could choose to leave 

Everybody is dead 

You're all alone and i'm the one, the only one, yeah 

I'll do whatever it takes 

Oh, what's another mistake 

Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep 

We're trying to escape 

An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me 

Feeling the pressure, I should be over you 

Slave to the pleasure, I can't get over you 

Tonight we'll try to pretend that we're alright, yea 

Say its forever, don't let me fade away 

Everything's gone, everything's lost 

What have I done, can it be undone 

Where did you go, will I find you 

This is our home, sweet home 

The canvas went up in flames 

Pretty lady let's dance 

I bet you thought that you could choose to leave 

Everybody is dead 

You're all alone and i'm the one, the only one, yeah 

I'll do whatever it takes 

Oh, what's another mistake 

Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep 

We're trying to escape 

An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me 

Feeling the pressure, I should be over you 

Slave to the pleasure, I can't get over you 

Tonight we'll try to pretend that we're alright, yea 

Say its forever, don't let me fade away 

I'm everything you want, I'm everything you need 

You're everything to me, don't let me fade away 

Foolish mortal, what did you think 

That you'd shackle the hands of time 

And defeat the gods themselves 

Sweet vanity you're my favorite sin 

Swallow mountains and choke on them 

Then drown yourself on Lazarus 

Spread your wings and grab the sun 

Sweet vanity you're my favorite sin 

Parting is such sweet sorrow 

Come back to me soon my dear 

I will be counting the days 

Farewell my love 

This is our home, sweet home 

Drench yourself in the cries of the damned 

Spill their blood 

Bathe in bliss as we torture the sane 

Help me, God
