This was my best friend's favorite song by the band. He loved TREOS we saw them live in Albany NY once and he was hooked. Later in he was a huge Dear Hunter fan as well. Sadly, he took his own life a few years ago. I listen to this once a month to remember him by so my memories don't fade away. Someone said that TREOS was ahead of it's time, I feel like my friend was as well. He just couldn't understand the world. I love that even today people stop by and listen to his favorite song and comment that they love it, he was always trying to get people to listen. RIP Jarrod "JJ" Edwards... I love you man. See you soon.
All these years later this song is still incredible and holds up. They are one of those bands I like to not listen to for years and years only to randomly stumble upon them again at random and get that ‘almost’ first time listening enjoyment.
Thank you for this TREOS! This song changed my life. I was at a crossroads between a job I was at and a potentially more filling career. Had to take a pay cut and turned down a promotion to leave and pursue my dream. Years later, best decision I ever made. I remember, listening to this masterpiece during the week of my decision.
Lyrics Your gross fabrication of pretense could bore, Yet still I fall victim to syntax omitted, Just shy of something I could understand So blissful, I press on to the sound of the organs Playing their most convincing tunes As they serenade to the parade of paid-off parts And now the only thing left to discuss is The details of this armistice We've come to this agreement... Check my vitals The truth is vile, but vital to this cause I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell Give me gravity, give me clarity, Give me something to rely on We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings) We're all marionettes We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for) We're all marionettes These body parts are parts of plans, Passed by my hands My hands shake through handshakes, Forsaken by my limbs My limbs sing the hymns; The hymns of a tyrant in a crumbling pantheon As inhabitants will raise their fists and bid him to disarm Check my vitals The truth is vile, but vital to this cause I've been held hostage; A captive of this passive shell Give me gravity, give me clarity, Give me something to rely on We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings) We're all marionettes We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for) We're all marionettes [X2] And now the only thing left to discuss is The details of this armistice We've come to this agreement... Oh, how I've been teething (Tell me who's pulling the strings) In light of your misleading You've caused this collapse (Tell me who's that you move for) Between the heart and the synapse [X2] We're all puppets We're all marionettes We're all puppets We're all marionettes [X2] ...The strings and joints will join us together... The strings and joints will join us The strings and joints will join us together...
So few comments and views. We jammed the hell out of this in high-school when it dropped. We were sure they were going big. Then again we thought we were also lol.
I have to agree that the mixing is off; however, this album is still masterful. I really wish they would have rerecorded this album prior to them disbanding.

Take your time.
I'm sorry you lost your friend Treos is a head of it's time.
Beautiful tribute to a loved friend. Thanks for sharing.
This might be the best song ever made
polyphony done right
No doubt about it
I’m pretty much ready to agree with you; 5 beers later!
It is beyond a masterpiece. It is timeless. Unbelievably beautiful and with the deepest of messages.
This song and band was ahead of their time. Pure genius!
All these years later this song is still incredible and holds up. They are one of those bands I like to not listen to for years and years only to randomly stumble upon them again at random and get that ‘almost’ first time listening enjoyment.
In my opinion this is their best song. But then again every one of their songs is a masterpiece.
most underrated band ever! .. this song brings me to tears. No EMO
Seb Brown dude I agree. if they came out now I think it would be a different story
This was easily my favorite song on the album!!!!!

Lyrics
Your gross fabrication of pretense could bore,
Yet still I fall victim to syntax omitted,
Just shy of something I could understand
So blissful, I press on to the sound of the organs
Playing their most convincing tunes
As they serenade to the parade of paid-off parts
And now the only thing left to discuss is
The details of this armistice
We've come to this agreement...
Check my vitals
The truth is vile, but vital to this cause
I've been held hostage;
A captive of this passive shell
Give me gravity, give me clarity,
Give me something to rely on
We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings)
We're all marionettes
We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for)
We're all marionettes
These body parts are parts of plans,
Passed by my hands
My hands shake through handshakes,
Forsaken by my limbs
My limbs sing the hymns;
The hymns of a tyrant in a crumbling pantheon
As inhabitants will raise their fists and bid him to disarm
Check my vitals
The truth is vile, but vital to this cause
I've been held hostage;
A captive of this passive shell
Give me gravity, give me clarity,
Give me something to rely on
We're all puppets (Tell me who's pulling the strings)
We're all marionettes
We're all puppets (Tell me who's that you move for)
We're all marionettes
[X2]
And now the only thing left to discuss is
The details of this armistice
We've come to this agreement...
Oh, how I've been teething (Tell me who's pulling the strings)
In light of your misleading
You've caused this collapse (Tell me who's that you move for)
Between the heart and the synapse
[X2]
We're all puppets
We're all marionettes
We're all puppets
We're all marionettes
[X2]
...The strings and joints will join us together...
The strings and joints will join us
The strings and joints will join us together...
This song is so complicated! That’s why it’s my favorite !! ❤❤❤
song still hits
This beats every other song I have ever listen to!
Love the harmonies
Strings and joints will join us together
Strings and joints will join us
The strings and joints will join us together...
we're still here
Every Treos lyric is tattoo worthy. Change my mind
Is this a concept album or did they just like connecting songs together in different ways?
Yep, always my go-to by em
AMAZING.
Such an under rated band and song, it’s so well written!
TREOS is just an excellent band! Wish they’d do a reunion tour
So few comments and views. We jammed the hell out of this in high-school when it dropped. We were sure they were going big. Then again we thought we were also lol.
UNDER RATED!!!!!!
😭😭😭

I have to agree that the mixing is off; however, this album is still masterful. I really wish they would have rerecorded this album prior to them disbanding.
Why did they break up?
You've caused this collapse... between the heart and the synapse
^^^^^^^^^^^
something about this song just connects with me
maybe im a marionette
4:00 You're welcome
Katie Nolan!
?
brought me here...
What is oceanvmmare?
first! and just WoW! people with bad taste in music cannot appreciate this song
I love the acoustic version more
I don't like the way this album was mixed, musics still good though.
SaintSinned Its youtube, sounds washed out. I listened to the cd in my car for years, sounds wayyyyyy BETTER
Kill me & this. I’m done
sorry to hear that
