THE PUPPET PUPPETEER Lyrics by ​rattlepate

RATTLEPATE’S OSC BONANZA

2024

[Verse 1]
I see the carnage of escape
Is this what free really means?
Don't think about how it's all fake
It's real to me
"You can't go like this forever"
"You can't control what they do"
I know, but it never crossed my mind that they felt so used
[Pre-Chorus]
It's normal, it's okay
Where are my morals? My manners?
The only thing left to display
[Chorus]
Puppet puppeteers of my own face
They're leaving their destruction behind
I take after you
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Nothing but the remnants of this place
I only wanted to play games
To have control of my mind
Can't you understand that hurt is what I am
And hurt is something I can't ever change?
You know that I am to blame
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I ran away from my fate
In the rearview mirror, it caught up to me
I took the thing I could take
It was never enough to spare the agony
"You can't go like this forever"
Yeah, I know that it's true
It's true but it never seemed to help me make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
It's normal, it's okay
Where are my morals? My manners?
I lost them all to my dismay
[Chorus]
Puppet puppeteer in a body
That he knows that he never owned
I know now that I'm not the only of my kind
That hadn't ever made their way back home
Made of parts from those sent to kill me
Patchworked from the head to the toe
I look at myself and I see somebody else
Someone who died quite some time ago
I can't let anyone know
[Bridge]
I'm just a solider that didn't want to fight
I'm just a servant who didn't want to serve
I think to myself every night what happened to give myself the nerve
I'm just a puppet with no strings
But isn't that what he wants?
An innovation that brings you a ticket to anywhere that you can flaunt
[Chorus]
Puppet puppeteers of my own face
They're leaving their destruction behind
I take after you
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Nothing but the remnants of this place
I only wanted to play games
To have control of my mind
Can't you understand that hurt is what I am
And hurt is something I can't ever change?
Puppet puppeteer in a body
That he knows that he never owned
I know now that I'm not the only of my kind
That hadn't ever made their way back home
Made of parts from those sent to kill me
Patchworked from the head to the toe
I look at myself and I see somebody else
Someone who died quite some time ago
