lyrics

Like a puppet

Strophe
I walk the streets alone, since I have lost myself
I am stuck in angry reflections of what it means to weigh in this world
Ever since I can remember I've been breaking all the rules
made by the hollow men, can't wait to bring them down!

Refrain
I wanna know if there's a better place to cure my mind
I wanna know if there's a place somewhere for my own kind
I wanna know if there's a better place to cure my mind
I wanna know if there's a better world I'd leave behind!

Strophe
Growing up with all the standards, what to like and what to hate
How to look like and dress up, how I'm allowed to behave.
It was the biggest, darkest burden that I never fitted in
facing their cruelty again, can't wait to bring them down!

Refrain
I wanna know if there's a better place to cure my mind
I wanna know if there's a place somewhere for my own kind
I wanna know if there's a better place to cure my mind
I wanna know if there's a better world I'd leave behind!

Break
Don't you relax
can't wait to bring you down
don't you think you're safe
can't wait to bring you down
don't you try to keep me away
can't wait to bring you down
can you hear my voice
I am gonna bring you down!

Refrain

Strophe
Been treated like a puppet, can you see my strings?
I've tried to cut them off, I've tried to break free
from all your weird clishees you're trying to fulfill,
take off your bloody masks, can't wait to bring you down!
