Roll out the red carpet This is the beginning Its opening night And you're on display The cameras are rolling You have their attention You're ready to show them all What you can do But Who is really pulling your strings? The puppetry so elegant You think they'll never know
The curtains drawn their eyes on you And you stand there waiting Silently for your cue They're all here waiting for you
Will you cut the string from your wrist? Or will you get caught up in it? I doubt you know who you are You speak with two tongues One to pull you in And one to make you run
So seamlessly you separate yourself From everything you used to be You're just a fake You're playing the role of a lifetime You always wanted the world I straight through your bullshit To be watching your every move
The curtains drawn their eyes on you And you stand there waiting Silently for your cue They're all here waiting for you
Will you cut the string from your wrist? Or will you get caught up in it? I doubt you know who you are You speak with two tongues One to pull you in And one to make you run
The curtains fly open And you're blinded by the light As they blankly stare the color Quickly flees your face And you realize You're just a fucking joke to them
The curtain closes The show is over You've been exposed The lies you told to get there And everything that you stole
