**Verse 1:**
Caught in the shadows, just a puppet on a string
Run these lines in my head, but I can't break the thing
Fingers pulling tight, I can’t breathe, I can't fight
Trapped in a dream, lost in the night, no light
**Pre-Chorus:**
I want to cut these threads, sever all the ties
Escape this cage, no more disguise
Feeling so numb, yet deep inside I hate
This love’s a trap, I can’t accept my fate
**Chorus:**
I’m a puppet, pulling my own strings
Tired of the pain, the crash, the burnings
Need to run away, break out, escape
From this love that’s killing me, no more fake
**Verse 2:**
Mirror's broken, reflection’s a ghost I see
Fading in the dark, losing all of me
Every word you say feels like another chain
I just want to run, I want to feel again
**Pre-Chorus:**
I want to cut these threads, sever all the ties
Escape this cage, no more disguise
Feeling so numb, yet deep inside I hate
This love’s a trap, I can’t accept my fate
**Chorus:**
I’m a puppet, pulling my own strings
Tired of the pain, the crash, the burnings
Need to run away, break out, escape
From this love that’s killing me, no more fake
**Bridge:**
Darkness surrounds, I’m drowning in regret
Burning out, no safety net
Running from the ghost of what we used to be
Struggling to find the real me
**Outro:**
So I’ll cut these strings, I’ll break free tonight
Leave this love behind, step into the light
No more puppeteer, no more pain
Just me, alone, finally sane
