Puppet Parade Lyrics

I punch a clock, I play a role
But every day it's the same
The party's loud, and the drinks are cold
But nothing dulls the pain

I bite my tongue and sell the lie
To pretend that I belong
Another shot, another high
Make it a double, and make it strong

No voice, no choice, you must obey

When the blood runs cold in the plans we've made
Where the strings are pulled, and the traps are laid
Where the lies are true, and our lives are trade
As we march in line, in a puppet parade

I ride the edge, I twist the blade
Just try to spark a flame
But all the colors start to fade, and blur into the same
They say I've got it all, yeah, right
A king without a crown
But when I crash against the floor, I barely make a sound

No voice, no choice, you must obey

When the blood runs cold in the plans we've made
Where the strings are pulled, and the traps are laid
Where the lies are true, and our lives are trade
As we march in line, in a puppet parade

Strings, tied to my back
As I smiled like a hangman, you know it's an act
It's a curse, tied to charade
As they dance for the crowd in a puppet parade
