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.
