Strings of a Puppet Songtext
von Across Waves

I hear the curtain call
But it′s not my name I'm pushed out
And forced to sing some crazy thing
I′m just a puppet on a string

They pull me left to right
Corset too tight
But wait it's me
I'm in control then who′s this other girl
This other girl who′s playing my role, uh oh

Living in some walking carcass
In your eyes I'm a real life princess
One minute you′re mine
The next I'm leaving you behind


Why can′t I just let go
And pour it on straight from the heart
But that's not where it′s coming from
Breaks every piece of me
To break every piece of you
I suffocate it down because
It cuts me in half to cut into your heart
It's like I'm playing a different part
It′s like I′m playing a different part

Holding on by the thinnest thread
Making flowers grow with tears you shed
What beautiful bed you made for me
To feed on and watch you beg and plead

Lightning strikes down the stage
I'm falling back in hopes you′ll catch me
In the fire twists of smoke will dance 'til ashes form

Why can′t I just let go
And pour it on straight from the heart
But that's not where it′s coming from
Breaks every piece of me
To break every piece of you
I suffocate it down because
It cuts me in half to cut into your heart
It's like I'm playing a different part
It′s like I′m playing


Living in some walking carcass
In your eyes I'm a real life princess
One minute you′re mine
The next I'm leaving you behind

Why can′t I just let go
And pour it on straight from the heart
But that's not where it′s coming from
Breaks every piece of me
To break every piece of you
Living in some walking carcass
In your eyes I'm a real life princess
One minute you're mine
The next I′m leaving you behind
