lyrics

memories changing they all disappear into dust
can I believe all the things that you said in the past?
trying to cling to anything still untouched

were you cold to the core?
turning your back on us all
or were you just a puppet on a string?

weaving his poison he wormed his way into your lives
destroying your love and deceiving you with his lies
how many times did we tell you to cast him aside?

were you cold to the core?
turning your back on us all
or were you just a puppet on a string?

you were down on your knees
begging my father please take me away from here

thinking back to when our grandmother died
when you drove to our house in the morning and cried
was it your grief or your guilt that scarred you inside?

were you cold to the core?
turning your back on us all
or were you just a puppet on a string?
