[Intro] Crossed arms on the crossbar Head hung from the wire Painted smile Chipped and crooked Cheap wood soaked in fire [Verse 1] You twist your fingers My body takes the blame You write the script My mouth repeats your name Every step A borrowed motion Every breath A bit of shame [Pre-Chorus] I feel the strings Dig in my skin You pull I swing But I won't give in [Chorus] I'm not your puppet anymore Cut the cords Let the splinters fall You yank and shake this broken frame But you can't own my soul at all You carved your words into my hands Made me dance Made me crawl I'm not your puppet anymore Hear me tear down your paper throne [Verse 2] You crowd of faces Clapping at the show You love the wreckage You don't want to know That under painted lashes There’s a rage about to blow [Pre-Chorus] I feel the snap Of one frayed line You feel me crack I call it spine [Chorus] I'm not your puppet anymore Cut the cords Let the splinters fall You yank and shake this broken frame But you can't own my soul at all You carved your words into my hands Made me dance Made me crawl I'm not your puppet anymore Hear me tear down your paper throne [Bridge] [Extended guitar break – slow Melodic lead blooms into rapid-fire harmony runs Then dives back into a brutal gallop] Saw through my shoulders Rip out the nails Ashes of orders Blown off the rails You lose your power Each thread that fails I learn to stagger Then walk Then impale [Breakdown] Cut These Strings (hey!) Let Me Fall I'd rather hit the ground Than hang inside your hall [Chorus] I'm not your puppet anymore Cut the cords Let the splinters fall You yank and shake this broken frame But you can't own my soul at all You carved your words into my hands Made me dance Made me crawl I'm not your puppet anymore Watch your kingdom of dust dissolve [Outro] [Guitars hold a soaring Bent note over crashing cymbals that fade to a low Ringing chord] Hands up Not in surrender Hands up Reaching alone Wood burns Wires tangle But I walk off your empty throne
