Clasp the strings,
Put on a show
Paint my smile,
Bow me low
Control my limbs,
I dance with ease
Bring me closer
The curtains gleam

Audiences laugh and gaze
Such a delightful show,
My tears fall softly,
When no one knows.

Clasp the strings
Put on a show
Expose my life
When no one knows,
Who's behind,
The delightful show
When no one sees,
The tears course and go
When no one cares,
To see the strings
When the painted smile,
Is not me.

Beautiful. I feel like this a lot, like a marionette being pulled on with strings around my waist. My master (everyone) controls what i do and when i do these things...i will never live my own life.
