Puppet On Black Strings

Left myself in the moment
Felt my head to and fro-ing
Another chapter in my life opened
Another someone is growing

I heard you’re breaking me
I know you’re taking me
So hard to believe they’ll get you to leave

I feel something take over me
Beneath my skin, hysterical screams
Doing its evil right through me
I scratch and I spit but it's no dream

I look in the mirror to find...
Nothing but pitch-black eyes
Scratches on my skin are superficial to what dwells within
I feel you becoming me and you’re slowly erasing me
So hard to believe that this has happened to me

I feel something take over me
Beneath my skin, hysterical screams
Doing its evil right through me
I scratch and I spit but it's no dream

I feel something take over me
Beneath my skin, hysterical screams
As though a puppet on black strings
The holy water sears, the holy water stings
Do I even need to be saved?
Not all the voices in my head are crazed
Someone please come and take the evil away
As midnight comes I begin to stray

*Guitar Solo*

I feel something take over me
Beneath my skin, hysterical screams
As though a puppet on black strings
The holy water sears, the holy water stings
