It pulls me in all directions
A force beyond my control
I see it coming, I feel it messing with me
Unable to stop it, it conjures me
Pulled by the strings like a puppet
Cut the strings and more are tied
Let me Go! I scream
I fight, I pull, I'm drained
I shut down and watch it glare
It laughs at me, tortures me
Imprisons me, manipulates me
Let me Go! I scream
I run far far far but...
I bounce back as pulled by a string
Play me, I'll let you play me
Do as you wish, I give up
I'll let go, just play the show.
