marionette Lyrics[Intro]
For all my life I’m stuck on stage
No way to break free from the cage
But hasn’t it been enough years?
My contract’s done, now I can get out of here
[Verse 1]
I’m not used to what it’s like outside, I don’t know anyone around me
I bet I’m being judged, I can’t seem to shake this feeling
I don’t like how it feels without the strings cutting off my bloodflow
Telling me when and where to go, what will I do now on my own?
[Chorus]
Ah, my legs are giving out, what is being free all about?
Should I sneak on stage and sing so I don’t have the guilt of escaping?
Theater is all I know, acting, dancing, being controlled
Who am I? I never knew, what is there to do!?
[Verse 2]
Look, that group knows who I am, but they don’t like how I’m acting
“You’re less nice than before, we didn’t think you’d be a bore”
I just wanna tie the strings again tighter than I can think
Is it good that I do not know how to fully escape from home?
[Chorus]
Ah, my legs are giving out, what is being free all about?
Should I sneak on stage and sing so I don’t have the guilt of escaping?
Theater is all I know, acting, dancing, being controlled
Who am I? I never knew, what is there to do!?
[Refrain]
Sew the eyes on, it’s infected? I don’t care
(La-la-la da-la da-la-da la-da)
[Verse 3]
I need to grow up and take control, the strings are frayed and unusable
If I live in the past, I will never sing my own song
Healing takes time, practice too, but If I never try and start
I’ll be stuck, playing some part
Now my knees feel weirdly stronggg
[Bridge]
My marionette life is done!, the strings are cut and burned to dust
My costume’s lost somewhere in the dumpster
Sure, I am scared to move on, but who cares? It’s the end of the song
That place I used to call “home”? After all these years, I’m finally out
[Refrain]
(La-la-la da-la da-la-da la-da)
[Outro]
No one knows what waits for me
For now the future is but a dream
Come on, please stop shedding those tears
The rest of your life will be lived out right here
