Puppet Strings

Puppet Strings that tug Puppet Strings that pull These Puppet strings rule my life These Puppet strings control Puppet Strings so course Puppet strings that tangle Cutting off my Oxygen These puppet strings Strangle How I wish I could stand for myself The weight on my shoulders forces me down How I wish I could live free But to these strings I am bound Under the control of the Puppeteer This Dictator I obey Tied up and beaten Impossible to get away Even if I could get away I doubt you’d feel concern For I must obey these Strings To this Puppet Master I'd return Even if you were concerned Even if freedom you allowed I could not live on my own For I’ve forgotten how So I will stay held Hostage These strings I will Befriend The meaning behind your cruel actions I cannot comprehend Puppet Strings that cut me They make me go Insane These strings keep me Living So to these strings I Remain.
