Ava Iris - I'm A Puppet (Rock Opera Mix) Lyrics

I feel like a ventriloquist, but I'm saying nothing
I'm a muppet on a stage, can't stand, I'm just bluffing
Feeling manipulated by the man in the dark
Why do I have no strings, but feel a tug on my heart

My eyes roll around, feet are missing, I sway
Home feels like a set, a fake, a play
Can't seem to find what's real in this land
Caught in a dream, can't understand

I'm a puppet, tangled in the show
Laughing, crying, but it's all for show
Strings might be gone, but I'm still on command
A puppet in this world, can't find where I stand

Scenes change fast, I'm lost in the script
Lines feed through my ears, from lips so zipped
The crowd cheers loud, but I can't hear a thing
Just a puppet on display, lost in the ring

My eyes roll around, feet are missing, I sway
Home feels like a set, a fake, a play
Can't seem to find what's real in this land
Caught in a dream, can't understand

I'm a puppet, tangled in the show
Laughing, crying, but it's all for show
Strings might be gone, but I'm still on command
A puppet in this world, can't find where I stand

Lights flash, colors bright, but I feel so dim
Controlled by unseen hands, feeling so grim
Searching for the one who pulls the strings
Want to break free, spread my wings

I see the master, hidden behind the scene
With a smirk, he moves, keeps everything unseen
I try to break free, but the stage pulls me back
Lost in this show, lost in the act

My eyes roll around, feet are missing, I sway
Home feels like a set, a fake, a play
Can't seem to find what's real in this land
Caught in a dream, can't understand

I'm a puppet, tangled in the show
Laughing, crying, but it's all for show
Strings might be gone, but I'm still on command
A puppet in this world, can't find where I stand

Maybe one day, I'll cut the strings for good
Find my voice, stand where I once stood
Till then, I dance, to the puppeteer's song
Hoping to find where I truly belong
