I just learnt of an important trend
I just observed an underlining current
Not that it matters, as it were, smoke screens
But it matters most to a degree, as it were
Above the norm to be expected, as it were
It really matters in circles, realms of the high
Between the powers that be, strings to ropes
And how the weathers play, as it were
It matters most, when spotted
And assigned a scrutiny, "assigned as it were"
It warns one, in such subtle terms, as it were
Larking with innocence pretend no physical form
"I have got k9 teeth, a set full, dog shape, but I wouldn't bite
Just for show, this is, to show and tell, just so you know"
Until that is, it is needed, as it were
To show and tell, show and tell
I just learnt of an important trend
I just observed an underlining current
I just realized we are in a puppet house, as it were
With invisible strings being pulled on acts
I just realized we are all puppets in play
I just observed an important trend
Strings on my shoulders
Jerking my arms, pulling my legs
I just waked up in a puppet house
Surrounded by familiar faces with smile
Yet all puppets in play, strings attached
Who owns the dollhouse,
Unveiling the smoke screen
We live in a puppet house, a dollhouse
Love the use of 'as it were.' Puppets in a play, actors on a stage ~~ the way it is.
