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
