Songtexte

Keep your voice down, don't make a scene
Smile while they take everything
Say you're sorry even when they lied
Maybe they'll stay this time
Give them your money, give them your name
Tell yourself that love and pain are somehow the same
If you're useful, they won't leave
That's what I believed
They pull, I move, they laugh, I lose
Every hand around my throat called itself a helping hand
I'm hanging by invisible strings
Dancing every time they swing
Every please every way
Every piece of me they take
Maybe I'm broken maybe I'm weak
Maybe I deserve defeat
Or maybe I'm finally seeing
How this game is played
Funny thing I watched them closely
Every smile had sharpened teeth
Every promise had a price
Every kindness came with strings tied tight
They never won because they were stronger
They won because they knew where to pull
And suddenly I understood
You call it lying, you call it control
I call it learning from the people who wrote my role
Now I'm pulling invisible strings
Watching everybody dance for me
Say my name, need my grace
Trade your soul to keep your place
Look how quickly mercy bends
When fear becomes your closest friend
You made the monster, I'm just using
Everything you taught
I spent my whole life trying to deserve kindness
You spent yours teaching me kindness doesn't matter
Power does
So I'll cry when it helps, smile when it sells
Tell you exactly what you want to hear
And while you're thanking me
You'll never notice your strings lead back to me
Back to me
Who's the villain? Who's the fool
I just followed all your rules
You called it business, you called it life
You only hate it now it's mine
The puppet's gone, the mask is too
The scared little boy died because of you
So don't look shocked when I pull the strings
You spent my whole life teaching me
The kindest hearts make the easiest puppets
