Liner Notes

Track 06 - "Forest Through the Trees" - Puppet Master album

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players," wrote Shakespeare for the sorrowful Jaques in "As You Like It," and the seven ages of man were brought to the fore. But is everything always as it seems? Who is Puppet Master?

Lyrics

[V1]
We hurt the ones we love
That's what mama always said
Did she ever really know
She'd be found dead in bed

[V2]
The law could never prove it
That daddy was a monster
How he walked and didn't wander
Was all a mystery to me

[Chorus]
Puppet Master's ways
Go unnoticed most days
Till they're up in your face
Forcing you from grace

[V3]
I'm not the only one
Who knew what he had done
Mama would've said let it be
But this was me

[V4]
Like a cycle of violence
Passed through generations
Puppet Master conversations
Have their limitations

[Chorus]
Puppet Master's ways
Go unnoticed most days
Till they're up in your face
Forcing you from grace

[Outro]
And that's how it goes
My story of woes
Like seeing forest through the trees
A tale familiar to all

But too many ways
And not enough days
So that in the end
Even Puppet Master pays

Oh my goodness is this the first murder in the series? So it is the narrators mother, and she was killed by her husband, and other people know about it. No clue how the puppet master fits in still, but there are more songs to come to help me out.

Great opening line! The title has me thinking I am seeing the forrest but missing the detail of the trees. You are really keeping me guessing Chris!
