[Verse 1]

Been chasing paper dragons with every card that I've been dealt

Through equilibrium to keep a promise to myself

Gonna need a better way to salvage things that are better for my health

Gonna need a muse that isn't justifying how you felt


[Pre-Chorus]

People might need me to be strong more than ever now

It's pretty damp in here

Sometimes the only reason to keep digging is so you never let them down

It's pretty damp in here


[Chorus]

I am both the puppet and the master

Saturatеd in the things that kill me faster

And I might havе just to slap your name on

The next recurring natural disaster


[Verse 2]

Most crutches collapse and most habits relapse

And I can't get out of bed today, so there's that

The birds are singing but I can't find the key

A flock akin to a dissonant harmony


[Pre-Chorus]

People might need me to be strong more than ever now

It's pretty damp in here

Sometimes the only reason to keep digging is so you never let them down

It's pretty damp in here


[Chorus]

I am both the puppet and the master

Saturated in the things that kill me faster

I am both the puppet and the master

Saturated in the things that kill me faster

And I might have just to slap your name on

The next recurring natural disaster


[Refrain]

I am the puppet and the master (Master, master)


[Bridge]

The cracks in the corners of the wall are slowly getting wider

The house is settling and so am I, or so I think

And I am damp and cold like the water damage slowly eating through the roof

I am older than this house and hence conceited living proof

It's pretty damp in here


[Refrain]

I am the puppet and the master (Master, master)


[Chorus]

I am both the puppet and the master

Saturated in the things that kill me faster

And I might have just to slap your name on

The next recurring natural disaster
