The Puppet Lyrics

I've been here for so long,
Don't know where I'm going
Or where I came from:
My mind is daily throwing
Memories apart,
My words are slightly slowing -
If you look at me you'll see that
Inside I'm glowing!
I've been trying so d*** hard
To be what you want me to be,
I couldn't stand a chance,
Life was draining out of me,
I was vanishing
Into this greyish sea...
Now I'm not moving a muscle, dear,
But inside I'm free!

I've had enough of these puppeteers
Building their bravery with our fears!
I've been hanging around all these years,
I think it's time to move along...
Sitting all day long,
I'm tired of waiting for
A miracle to come
Knocking on my door.
I open up my eyes,
Press my soles against the floor:
I might seem a little rusty to you,
But I'm going to war!
I think I've lived this day before
Or maybe I just dreamed about...
My rebellion was nothing more
Than a string I cannot move without...

I've had enough of these puppeteers
Building their bravery with our fears!
I've been hanging around all these years,
I think it's time to move along...
You better stop wasting my time,
I won't engage in pantomime.
I don't need to play a role
To fill your empty g****** hole!
