Push me up against the wall Pull my strings and watch me fall Did it in a subtle matter But you are the puppetmaster Told me that I had potential But I wasn't quite special Inside this shell Can't eat, can't sleep I'm in too deep I've been reshaped And I can't escape You scream and yell I cried I'm unwell You tied my hands And made me dance You pushed me to the ground Wooden legs were tied and bound Overworked and underpaid Betrayed for a decade Watching all the people gather Just to see the puppetmaster Inside this cell Can't eat, can't sleep I'm in too deep I've been reshaped And I can't escape You scream and yell I cried I'm unwell You tied my hands And made me dance I'm on my knees Stuck in this trapeze Your poker-face Makes it all fall into place And I can't escape You scream and yell I cried I'm unwell You tied my hands And made me dance I'm on my knees Stuck in this trapeze Your poker-face Makes it all fall into place Push me up against the wall Pull my strings and watch me fall Did it in a subtle matter 'Cause you are the puppetmaster
