Marionette
By Mefk
Twisted words, hidden meanings,
Shadows on walls, reflections on ceilings,
I can’t shake the past, can’t shake that feeling,
I can’t rest my soul or take time for healing.
Words used as weapons to break down my pride,
You crushed my devotion, killed it inside,
You don’t let me fly, you’ve clipped my wings,
I’m your Marionette, held fast by strings.
I’m your marionette, your marionette,
Held fast by strings, clipped wings,
I’m your marionette, your marionette.
You can’t rule my future, I’ve taken a vow,
I’ve cut down those strings, I’m living for now,
It’s time for me to fly, to recover my pride,
I’ll take to the sky soar high and glide.
No longer a Marionette, I‘m free to walk,
Passing shadows and strangers, I’m free to talk,
But who will listen, who will hear,
Voices distant, still consumed by fear.
Those twisted words with hidden meaning,
Consigned to the past, now time for healing,
I’ve shaken the past, shaken that feeling,
Hope rests my soul, taken time for healing.
I was your marionette, your marionette,
Cut down those strings, unclipped my wings,
I was your marionette, your marionette.
