Never Blameless

Am I but a puppet on a string left to the commands of a fragile mind Then what not responsible for anything least of all the blame be mine And yet a conscience to be reckoned ill feelings from somewhere deep below For that and all I must condescend full payment for the hell I know If "I" could bellow the right command and me be the that follow Then "I" rightful ere to all of my follies and owe full payment rightfully so But still A puppet on a string I command from a fragile mind Only now responsible for everything broken shouldered blame be mine Surrender to the voices or do "I" uttered commands of a fragile mind The responsibility never seems to die and the blame always seems to be mine
