Puppet

Dance, puppet
            dance,
like you've got no chance
at a mind
               of your own.
I am thrown
by your skill
                  frill
                       will;
            chilled
    to the bone,
as you sit
   on your throne,
                thrilled
to be riding the tide
 of anyone's wave...
                           but your own.
Hide
       from the hum
       of your own drum,
'cause the common beat
                              on the street.
      will keep you
                        out of the                     
                                        heat.
Dance, puppet,
            dance,
and thanks for the chance
of my mind 
                  over 
           "you don't matter"
blues.
Go ahead and leave
                               your bruise;
you're just a muse...
