[Intro]
In a world that pulls the strings,
I’m just a marionette lost in the fling.
Echoes of doubt ring in my head,
Wishing for hope, but I feel like I'm dead.
[Verse 1]
Shackles of shame, they weigh on my soul,
Every step I take feels like I'm losing control.
Mirrors reflect a face full of cracks,
I reach for the light, but it always retracts.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how did I fall into this dark?
Empty promises, I'm left with a mark.
Whispers of fate wrapped tight in my veins,
I’m searching for freedom, but I’m bound by my chains.
[Chorus]
I’m just a puppet in a cruel masquerade,
Every move I make is a price I’ve paid.
Got no strings to pull me away from this sorrow,
Living for today, but I fear tomorrow.
[Verse 2]
Caught in the limelight, but I fade away,
As shadows surround me, night swallows the day.
Each laugh feels scripted, each tear falls with blame,
In the game of illusion, I’m losing the claim.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, why can't I break out, find a way to be free?
This dance is so rigid, it’s crushing me.
Footsteps of pity, I’ll walk them no more,
Searching for keys to unlock these doors.
[Chorus]
I’m just a puppet in a cruel masquerade,
Every move I make is a price I’ve paid.
Got no strings to pull me away from this sorrow,
Living for today, but I fear tomorrow.
[Bridge]
Oh, lift the curtain and let me breathe,
Unravel the cords, let them finally leave.
I’m more than this shadow, more than this guise,
With the dawn breaking, I’ll learn to rise.
[Outro]
So cut the strings, let the sunlight ignite,
I’ll dance to my rhythm again, take flight.
In a world that once bound me in a pitiful choir,
I’m reclaiming my story, igniting the fire!
