Puppet On Black Strings

Left myself in the moment

Felt my head to and fro-ing

Another chapter in my life opened

Another someone is growing

I heard you’re breaking me

I know you’re taking me

So hard to believe they’ll get you to leave

I feel something take over me

Beneath my skin, hysterical screams

Doing its evil right through me

I scratch and I spit but it's no dream

I look in the mirror to find...

Nothing but pitch-black eyes

Scratches on my skin are superficial to what dwells within

I feel you becoming me and you’re slowly erasing me

So hard to believe that this has happened to me

I feel something take over me

Beneath my skin, hysterical screams

Doing its evil right through me

I scratch and I spit but it's no dream

I feel something take over me

Beneath my skin, hysterical screams

As though a puppet on black strings

The holy water sears, the holy water stings

Do I even need to be saved?

Not all the voices in my head are crazed

Someone please come and take the evil away

As midnight comes I begin to stray

*Guitar Solo*

I feel something take over me

Beneath my skin, hysterical screams

As though a puppet on black strings

The holy water sears, the holy water stings
