Puppetmaster

Push me up against the wall

Pull my strings and watch me fall

Did it in a subtle matter

But you are the puppetmaster

Told me that I had potential

But I wasn't quite special

Inside this shell

Can't eat, can't sleep

I'm in too deep

I've been reshaped

And I can't escape

You scream and yell

I cried "I'm unwell"

You tied my hands

And made me dance

You pushed me to the ground

Wooden legs were tied and bound

Overworked and underpaid

Betrayed for a decade

Watching all the people gather

Just to see the puppetmaster

Inside this cell

Can't eat, can't sleep

I'm in too deep

I've been reshaped

And I can't escape

You scream and yell

I cried "I'm unwell"

You tied my hands

And made me dance

I'm on my knees

Stuck in this trapeze

Your poker-face

Makes it all fall into place

And I can't escape

You scream and yell

I cried "I'm unwell"

You tied my hands

And made me dance

I'm on my knees

Stuck in this trapeze

Your poker-face

Makes it all fall into place

Push me up against the wall

Pull my strings and watch me fall

Did it in a subtle matter

'Cause you are the puppetmaster
