the marrionette in the box cries itself to sleep each night  
its strings worn, its wooden arms peeling  
it watches each day the world drift away  
from his empty button wooden eyes

the marionette in the box cries, quiet tears of pain  
unseen and unheard by the many puppeteers above  
but what awaits the marionette once the strings are broken  
is what the marionette wants the most  
his eyes can grow dim, his arms may now rest

the marionette in the box cries, sleeping tight another night  
wishing each day for the box to stay closed  
his solice in rest as the dark wraps around him, comforts him  
no friends for the marionette, no peace for the puppet

the marionette in the box, a toy crafted with love  
who's life seems endless, his heart hangs heavy  
he wants to be free but the strings draw him back  
in the box though he waits, knowing what the day will mean

hoping his time will come, and peace will set him free
