There's somethin' wrong here, why can't you see
Can you see
Try to scream, you're lookin' through me, through me
But you don't hear a word

Takin' matters into my hands, my hands
Stepping on a stage in silence, silence
Look what it took for you to see me
Just dying to be heard

Trading in a heartbeat for strings
I don't need a heart when I can crawl into your skin
You're only useful when you're dead
So let me see what's in your head

Make you a puppet
You're nothin' but just a toy and I'm a
The livin' dead in your head
Andd I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face
I'm the shame
I'm the pain you're trying to ignore
You let the Marionette in your head

And now you're getting what you deserve
Waited twenty years to tell you these words
Come on and open up the box
Gonna wear you like a costume

Not so easy to ignore when I'm right behind you
I'm not the stories of old
I'm not the lie that you sold
I'm not the silent denial of every child you told

To stay quiet
Seen and never heard
But when you're withered and dead
I'll get the last word

Cut the cord, cut the lights
I'll pull the strings tonight

Make you a puppet
You're nothin' but just a toy and I'm a
The livin' dead in your head
Andd I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face
I'm the shame
I'm the pain you're trying to ignore
You let the Marionette in your head

And now you trade a heartbeat for strings
Should've had a heart before it cost you everything
You're only useful when you're dead

Can you hear it echo in the silence?
Try to hide, I'll find you when the music ends
Do you feel it weighing on your conscience?
Don't deny it, you can feel me in your chest

You're right behind the bedroom door
(Can you hear it echo in the silence?)
I'm right beside you
(Try to hide, I'll find you when the music ends)

I can feel your heartbeat
(Do you feel it weighing on your conscience?)
Don't deny it
I can feel it in your head

Cut the cord, cut the lights
I'll pull the strings tonight
Hold your breath, get possessed
You're a puppet of mine

Make you a puppet
You're nothin' but just a toy and I'm a
The livin' dead in your head
Andd I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face
I'm the shame
I'm the pain you're trying to ignore
You let the Marionette in your head

And now you trade a heartbeat for strings
Should've had a heart before it cost you everything
You're only useful when you're dead
So let me see what's in your head
