Puppet of the Night

[Intro]
Silent shadows, secrets in the night
Loving the control, feeling so right
Caught between love and fright
In this game of shadows and light

[Verse 1]
He’s got the rules, he’s got the key
Knows more than anyone could see
Watching closely, from behind the scenes
Living in the spaces between what it seems

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the puppet on a string, but I don’t want to break free
Loving how he pulls me close, even if it’s a bit creepy
He sees the darkness, he knows my pain
Still I crave his control, again and again

[Chorus]
Controlled but craving, I love the game
In his grip, I forget my name
Nice and cruel, light and dark
He’s got my strings, I’ve lost my mark

[Bridge]
Never had a love so fierce, so intense
In his eyes, I lose my sense
Can’t pull away, I want to stay
In this shadow where I play

[Verse 2]
He sneaks inside my world, I let him in
Watching me sleep, beneath my skin
He believes he owns me, every part
But does he know I hold my darkened heart?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m the puppet on a string, but I don’t want to break free
Loving how he pulls me close, even if it’s a bit creepy
He sees the darkness, he knows my pain
Still I crave his control, again and again

[Chorus]
Controlled but craving, I love the game
In his grip, I forget my name
Nice and cruel, light and dark
He’s got my strings, I’ve lost my mark

[Outro]
Maybe I’ll release, or maybe I’ll stay
In this love, in this black ballet
He’s the master, I’m the game
Forever caught in his flame
