[Verse]
Wooden eyes stare blank and hollow
Whose voice is it I follow
Silent lips but the words
They burn
My hands move yet it's not my turn
[Chorus]
Strings in the shadows
Pulling me tight
Who's the puppet in the dead of night
Laughing voice that cuts like knives
Who's the master
Who’s alive
[Verse 2]
Fingers jerk in twisted rhythm
Words escape
I never give 'em
His smile splits
My breath won't come
The stage is dark
The crowd is numb
[Prechorus]
Who’s the shadow
Who’s the frame
Am I him or am I the same
[Chorus]
Strings in the shadows
Pulling me tight
Who's the puppet in the dead of night
Laughing voice that cuts like knives
Who's the master
Who’s alive
[Bridge]
Painted grin
I wear his face
No escape from this cursed embrace
Wooden hands
They’re mine
They’re his
Who's the lie
And what is this
