"Marionette" lyrics

"Marionette"

I wanna cut me free
You want make believe
I'm made of flesh and bone
You wanna take control of me

You wanna dress me up
I wanna feel the sun
You wanna play pretend
I'm not about to bend, you'll see

This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull at my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go, oh

I'm taking back the day
That you tried to steal from me
I'm gonna make my voice
You'll never get my choice to breathe

This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull at my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go, oh
Let me go, oh
So let me go, oh
Let me go, oh

I wanna cut me free
You want make believe
This is not a game

You want the strings so you can
Pull in my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go
You want the strings so you can
Pull in my soul and tear me down
You want it all, I'm not your marionette doll
So let me go
