[Verse 1]
I crawled in through the crack
Under your door
You left your fear
Like food on the floor
I know your name
I know your sleep
I wear your grin
When you start to weep
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull the string
Watch you bend
I break you down
Then build again
Say my name
When you choke
I am the hand
Around your throat
[Chorus]
My puppet, my puppet
Dance when I pull it
My puppet, my puppet
You love when I rule it
My puppet, my puppet
Laugh for me, little thing
My puppet, my puppet
I make you wear my ring
[Verse 2]
I sit behind your eyes
Like a king in dust
I turn your brave to rust
Your promise to mush
You call it fate
I call it mine
I twist your spine
To a perfect line
[Pre-Chorus]
Pull the string
Hear it snap
You run in circles
Back to my trap
Say my name
Take the blow
I feed on panic
And I let it show
[Chorus]
My puppet, my puppet
Dance when I pull it
My puppet, my puppet
You love when I rule it
My puppet, my puppet
Laugh for me, little thing
My puppet, my puppet
I make you wear my ring
[Bridge]
I am the stain on your holy hands
The grin in the dark that you understand
You begged for power, I gave you pain
Now every heartbeat spells my name
(ha-ha-ha)
(ha-ha-ha)
[Final Chorus]
My puppet, my puppet
Dance when I pull it
My puppet, my puppet
You love when I rule it
My puppet, my puppet
Laugh for me, little thing
My puppet, my puppet
I make you wear my ring
My puppet, my puppet
Kneel when I call it
My puppet, my puppet
Fall hard when I want it
