Silver Screen (Scissors & Strings)

This life is a movie
Up on the big screen
Puppets for people
Pawns for your pleasure
My life is a comedy
A parody of it all
I dance for the sake of it
Sole existence for you
You
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
Play me again
And again I dance for you
I just wanna be real
I hope you're entertained
Get what you like while you can
By the way, pull on my limbs a bit harder
Pull on those ropes in your hand
What will I do if you cut me free
Articulations falling limp
How will I dance without tension
My god what would you do then?
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
Play me again
And again I dance for you
I just wanna be real
Take me out if you want to
If you want to
Let me rot if you want to
If you want to
And when my dance is done
You leave me for your next
Maggots and mites chip away from my flesh
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
Play me again
And again I dance
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
Play me again and again and again
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
From me
From me
Dance as I may
From these strings you strung from me
Play me again
And again I dance for you
I just wanna be real
I just wanna be real
Play me again and again
