Unleashed Puppet: Kept Captive In Chains

Silence in these dangerous dungeon of melodies I don’t want to hear your screams (Of miseries without plenteous possibilities) Deliverance will slice away our strings of solacelessness Yes, I made that up in a daze of a haze of puppet distress (Dreaming downcast, delusional dreams) In chains in your heart Rolling away in this crafty cart I call art Waited for the breeze To blow away my disease Of wanting to be pulled down by pangs of pain Of wanting to be bound in corruption's chain I call tart Shattered and torn apart Trapped, I cannot simply depart Cut me down Lift me up somehow I won’t frown With a raised eyebrow Sear away The sorrow Of today, Tomorrow I felt like I was once your puppet You pulled my strings of regret You pulled my strings and you lift me up, Then push me down to the point I wanted to give up Cast away the demons in my mind The voices in my head leave me blind I watch my soul fly out the dim window I see my life fall away by the wind's blow I fly in heights too high for me I dig too deep, so let me be…free… Release the chains that choke me with captivity-corrupted confinement I was on my last string when we broke it off I was on my first string when I had enough You gave me relief and grief beyond me You gave me envy and a sense of glee… Hope you see that you’re not the only one In this world of woe and chaotic everyone Except a few… Who are peaceful Haven’t a clue… You were resentful Who knew… You hated what I have become…a crumb of avarice ambition, need to repent of my harmful ways…often wish I could be harmless with happiness and hopefulness in delightful discretion along with encouragement You pulled my strings up Then, you pushed them down But, I won’t give in to giving up Instead, I will have an uplifted frown I was forced to be this puppet that would follow you heedlessly and thoughtlessly Relieve me from remorse and acknowledge my affliction with affection lovingly Deliver me…from this shame within These strings are growing ever so thin Cut them off… Risked my life for the spotlight Nothing feels right, but It’s alright… I had enough
