Puppet Lyrics by Matt Walden

2016

[Verse]
My life is like the ocean
My voice is like the breeze
It’s really hard to live when
Your thoughts are like the trees
Towering above me
Like ”who you’re gonna be?”
Everybody’s searchin’
But I know that I’m me
Oh, I know that I’m me
I know that I’m me

A little recognition was all it took for people to give me credit
Just wait you’ll see me on the TV
I won’t be the only one who says
That I can write some catchy hooks
Peter Pan with the looks
Won’t catch mе cooking the books
’Cuz I’m an artist not a crook (crook, crook)

So get your hand away from my ass
I’m not a puppet in your gamеs
Just wanna write from the heart
And do what I can to make a name
But the worst facets in this industry is
That it always feels like bigotry
Though they tell you differently
Just take a look at history

It’s quite sad really
The kinda games you play
Sell your soul to make a name
But that’s not me
I’m staying true to only being something bigger

[Chorus]
I’m not a pawn in your game
Can’t get inside of my brain
Yeah, I know it feels
I know it feels the same
That’s what they do

[Verse]
’Cuz I’m not a fan of the BS media stunts
I don’t need your hype 75
Not 200 love
Shouldn’t need to lie to get to the top
Fake personas never stop
Make some music ’cuz you love it
Not for money
Work nonstop

[Pre-Chorus]
’Cuz you should love what you do
And if you don’t, then you’re
Then you’re

[Chorus]
Then you’re a pawn in their game
You let them get inside of your brain
Wo-oo-o-ah
I know it feels the same
’Cuz that’s what they do
Wo-oo-o-ah

[Instrumental Outro]
