[Verse]
A velvet chain wraps around my chest
A whisper soft but I can’t protest
The ground it shifts beneath my feet
I’m locked inside the shadow's seat
[Chorus]
You’re the puppet master I’m on your strings
Pulling my heart while your shadow sings
Floating on a silence heavy and cold
Dancing in a story you’ve already told
[Verse 2]
Your hands are soft they carry no trace
But they carve control like it's a sacred space
The room turns gray as you steal my sun
I feel the script but can’t come undone
[Chorus]
You’re the puppet master I’m on your strings
Pulling my heart while your shadow sings
Floating on a silence heavy and cold
Dancing in a story you’ve already told
[Bridge]
Through the cracks in the walls a light seeps in
Is it hope or just a shadow’s grin
The air here bends but it won’t let me break
I feel the truth but it's a bitter ache
[Chorus]
You’re the puppet master I’m on your strings
Pulling my heart while your shadow sings
Floating on a silence heavy and cold
Dancing in a story you’ve already told
