🎧 Marionettes – First Single from the Debut Album House of Silence

Marionettes is the debut single from Bunar Lift, a dark and hypnotic track exploring the tension between control, desire, and the fragile strings that bind us. With its haunting melodies and cinematic atmosphere, this song invites listeners into a world where reality blurs with a puppet’s dance.

Lyrics – Marionettes

Creepers around you,
They don't hesitate,
Your games with me,
They, push me to the brink of decay.
Nothing more, neither less,
This show is full of distress.

I'm the marionette of your vanity,
The doll you always wanted,
An object tied in knots,
With a place in the closet.
Dance with my wooden legs,
Move me slowly; I'm tied for heck.
Dance with me on the verge of shame,
I'm a rover, show me the way.

Look down; they are not watching,
They melt down at once.
Play with the rope,
For me, there's no hope of going back.
Stepping toward the pyre,
Move me slowly.
There is a fear of light.
All I need is candle in the dark,
And your hand waving like the hand of God.

Artificial creature to fill your lust,
Pinocchio made of stone and ice,
Just to trust your lies,
Lifeless lies in the mud,
Creating silhouettes for the hungry dark.

Look down; they are not watching,
They melt down at once.
Play with the rope,
For me, there's no hope of going back.
Stepping toward the pyre,
Move me slowly.
There is a fear of light.
All I need is a candle in the dark,
And your hand waving like the hand of God.

Marionettes

A follow up folk tune, based on one recorded take without a metronome. A song about a stage performer confusing adoration for love.

Yours to take

Typed a truth that bit my hand
Logic slipped through contraband
The graph looked smug, the proof got lost
I called it genius-at what cost?

I tried to fix it
the problem fixed me first
There's rhythm in recursion
and guilt in every verse

I feel silly, oh, so silly
twisting reason till it's frilly
Every thought insists it's wise
but wears a clown nose in disguise

I chased an answer down a hall of drafts
doors of maybe, doors of laughs
Truth peeked through a keyhole grin
"you again?" she said, and let me in

I feel...
not wrong
just misplaced
The melody rewrote my face

I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty
Every paradox I own
sends postcards to my comfort zone

If wisdom comes, let it knock twice
I'm out rehearsing bad advice
I feel silly
and honestly
it feels just right

I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty...
I feel silly, oh, so silly
Dancing wrong but looking pretty...

Silly-Frilly

If there is a heaven I’d want to be there but I know I won’t make it with candles and prayer…

Being with you

I missed the moon landing.  I don't know how I managed to do it and I doubt it means anything, but it needed a song.  

Lyrics:
Everybody seems to say
They recall it, like it was yesterday
Incredible that it could happen at all
But I missed it, at least I don’t recall
How could it have happened
And somehow I never knew
Everybody says they knew it was coming
I guess I must have had something better to do

I was working at the time
I didn't see   
How important it would turn out to be
They say the whole world
Stopped to stare   
Wherever I was meant to be I wasn’t there     

Everybody says they saw it
That’s what they all claim
But if you ask them to describe it
Nobody’s answer is quite the same
Was it July or September
Nobody seems to remember
But they tell me they showed it on TV
And it was really something to see

I was working at the time
I didn't see   
How important it would turn out to be
They say the whole world
Stopped to stare   
Wherever I was meant to be I wasn’t there     

I like to say it was work
But maybe it was play
Could be I just didn’t know
That there was something going down that day
Maybe I was still asleep
That could explain a lot
I slept a lot that week
On the other hand I might have simply forgot

If I lied and said I saw it
What kind of difference would it make
Would they welcome me with open arms
And say there must have been a mistake
Or would there still be some other thing
How I look or maybe what I believe
Would they still have some sort of trouble with me
If I thought that things’d change would that be naive

Cus when I say I wasn’t there on that day
They give me a look and then walk away
A community’s defined by things that we share
I’m going to be on the outside ‘cause I wasn’t there
Did it matter at all - no way I’ll ever know
It was simply something that I didn’t see
But over time the fact that I missed it
Began to matter to me  

I was working at the time
I didn't see   
How important it would turn out to be
They say the whole world
Stopped to stare   
Wherever I was meant to be I wasn’t there     

And over time something that I didn’t see
Became important to me

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
