The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Marionettes

Lyrics

[Intro: Dennis Lee] There's no escape from this awful place [Verse 1: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Hey, stranger, what's your name? Have we met before? Take a look around, the scenes are all the same I can see the veil is right behind me I'll close my eyes, and this will go away (Have I ever said this before?) If I just keep moving, will I be okay (Or panic in the mayhem?) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] It's round and round and round we go Somebody please let me know (Let me know) Just what it takes to begin, to start all over again [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] The truth has finally shown its face How long have I been in this place? I never had a choice; you blinded me and stole my voice I will see you soon [Verse 2: Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Hey, stranger, what's your name? Have we met before? Do I even dare to question fate's design Or submit to such a bleak destiny? There has to be another way than this (It's a hopeless fight anyway) I will not give up and wash away the sin (I'm thirsting for the carnage) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke] I can't take it, I'm battered and broken, abandoned forever [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] It's round and round and round we go Somebody please let me know (Let me know) Just what it takes to begin, to start all over again [Post-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] The truth has finally shown its face How long have I been in this place? I never had a choice; you blinded me and stole my voice I will no longer take the flight from you [Breakdown: Shawn Milke & Shane Crump, Dennis Lee] Now that you've got me, what's next? Let me help Now I destroy you, demon Sinew is ripped to shreds Stripped from your body, crimson Fury of righteousness Will now consume you in death [Bridge: Shawn Milke] It's the sweet, sweet song of your heartbeat All I feel is a memory Of the night I laid in bed with you It's the easy sound of your breathing Tell me what I should've seen Where was I when you fell fast asleep? I can't live without you by my side (Woo) [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] I can't live without you by my side [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] It's round and round and round we go Somebody please let me know (Let me know) Just what it takes to begin, to start all over again It's round and round and round we go Somebody please let me know (Let me know) Just what it takes to begin, to start all over again
