[Verse 1]
My perfect painted face
My body full of grace
You pull strings
More than a marionette
You think the stage is set
Lights on
Curtain up
Time to dance
You get one more chance
[Pre-Chorus]
You like your sugar laced
With a little bit of fear
I taste like cherry glaze
But I burn when I get near
[Chorus]
Candy marionette
Thought you owned every move I make
Sweet on your breath
But I’m the one that makes you shake
Spin me
Twist me
Watch your pretty plan collapse
Candy marionette
Cut the strings
I bite back
[Verse 2]
You mold my every pose
Pick the dress
Pick the rose
You say “smile”
And I give you what you want
But behind these glassy eyes
There’s a crack in your control
Little secret in my soul
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
One snap
And your kingdom falls apart
Slow clap
For the player with no heart
[ crescendo ]
You fed me glitter
Fed me lies
Now you’re tangled in the ties
[Chorus]
