[Verse 1: ASTRSK*]

There's somethin' wrong here, why can't you see, can you see

Try to scream, you're looking through me, through me

I'm watchin' horror like a movie, a movie

But you don't hear a word

Taking matters into my hands, my hands

Stepping on a stage in silence, silence

Look what it took for you to see me

Just dying to be heard

[Pre-Chorus: ASTRSK*]

Trading in a heartbeat for strings

I don't need a heart when I can crawl into your skin

You're only useful when you're dead

So let me see what's in your head

[Chorus: ASTRSK*]

Make you a puppet, you're nothin' but just a toy, and I'm a—

The livin' dead in your head and I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face, I'm the shame, I'm the pain you're trying to ignore

You let the Marionette in your head

[Verse 2: ASTRSK*, LongestSoloEver & ASTRSK*]

And now you're getting what you deserve

Waited twenty years to tell you these words

Come on and open up the box

Gonna wear you like a costume

Not so easy to ignore when I'm right behind you

I'm not the stories of old, I'm not the lie that you sold

I'm not the silent denial of every child you told

To stay quiet, seen and never heard

But when you're withered and dead

I'll get the last word

[Pre-Chorus: ASTRSK*]

Cut the cord, cut the lights

I'll pull the strings tonight

[Chorus: ASTRSK*]

Make you a puppet, you're nothin' but just a toy, and I'm a—

The livin' dead in your head and I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face, I'm the shame, I'm the pain you're trying to ignore

You let the Marionette in your head

[Post-Chorus: ASTRSK*]

And now you trade a heartbeat for strings

Should've had a heart before it cost you everything

You're only useful when you're dead

[Verse 3: ASTRSK* & LongestSoloEver, Both]

Can you hear it echo in the silence?

Try to hide, I'll find you when the music ends

Do you feel it weighing on your conscience?

Don't deny it, you can feel me in your chest

You're right behind the bedroom door (Can you hear it echo in the silence?)

I'm right beside you (Try to hide, I'll find you when the music ends)

I can feel your heartbeat (Do you feel it weighing on your conscience?)

Don't deny it, I can feel it in your head

[Pre-Chorus: ASTRSK* & LongestSoloEver]

Cut the cord, cut the lights

I'll pull the strings tonight

Hold your breath, get possessed

You're a puppet of mine

[Chorus: ASTRSK*]

Make you a puppet, you're nothin' but just a toy, and I'm a—

The livin' dead in your head and I'm livin' for the karma

I'll take your face, I'm the shame, I'm the pain you're trying to ignore

You let the Marionette in your head

[Post-Chorus: ASTRSK*]

And now you trade a heartbeat for strings

Should've had a heart before it cost you everything

You're only useful when you're dead

So let me see what's in your head
