Living in your shadow crushed underneath your thumb
You left me pale and hollow dreaming of the sun
You may take control by sucking all my hope away
I must face the truth: you're the master I'm the slave
I am just your puppet on a string
Dead until you breathe life into me
I am just your puppet
I am just your puppet
Dead until you breathe life into me
You tried to make me something, something I could never be
Stripped me of my freedom, stripped me of identity
And when I look inside me there's nothing left alive
I don't exist without you so how can I survive
I am just your puppet on a string
Dead until you breathe life into me
I am just your puppet
I am just your puppet
Dead until you breathe life into me
I am sick of my life hanging by a thread
I want you to stay the fuck out of my head
I am not your puppet on a string
Dead until you breathe life into me
I am not your puppet
I am not your puppet on a string
Dead until you breathe life into me
