Have you met the puppeteer
Have you seen his show
He feeds off your darkest fears
And then he'll never let you go
The lights going down now the show is starting
The crowd is going wild
He pulls on my wires
The curtains are parting
So I take my place and smile
Dancing by the strings wrapped around my neck
Choking on the tears that I'm holding back
Oh it's getting so hard to breathe
No one can see the puppeteer soul
La la la la la la la la
Oh does anybody see
La la la la la la la la
Wipe your tears hold on me
We rehearsed a thousand times
An actress on display
But I get stage fright every night
When that monster comes out to play
I better get ready
The curtain call
Cause they're all waiting for me
The puppeteer loves when everyone clap clap claps
At the end of the scene
Dancing with the strings wrapped around my neck
Choking on the tears that I'm holding back
Oh it's getting so hard to breathe
No one can see the puppeteer soul
La la la la la la la la la la la
Oh does anybody see
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Wipe the tears hold on me
No one can see but the tears hold on me
