Lyrics

They say all the world's a stage
All the men and women merely got a part to play
Am I the one pretending or is everybody fake
Are we a little different or are we all the same?
Silver spoons, they fall
Every single time I go to open up my mouth
Do I make decisions or has that not been allowed?
Or am I just a vessel for someone else's sound?
Am I a puppet in a dream who closed his eyes to everything?
All the hands that point directions open doors to good connections
I'm a product of pulling strings
But I swear I'm standing on the brink of being who everyone thinks
Without hands that point directions open doors to good connections
I'm a product of pulling strings
I thought I got the gold
But I was steps ahead of every starter pistol pulled
I thought I was a winner but it turns out I'm a joke
Don't want my reputation up in smoke
Am I a puppet in a dream who closed his eyes to everything?
All the hands that point directions open doors to good connections
I'm a product of pulling strings
But I swear I'm standing on the brink of being who everyone thinks
Without hands that point directions open doors to good connections
I'm a product of pulling strings
Exposing my real flaws will come at a real cost
I might be a damn fraud but at least I'm changing
At least I'm changing
I am waking from the dream, open eyes to everything
All the hands that point directions open doors to good connections
Oh, from now on I'll be cutting strings
I swear I'm standing on the brink of being who everyone thinks
I'm switching my perception, making meaningful connections
So from now on, I'll be cutting strings
