Puppet Show

27 Feb 2010

·GlennMcCrary

I'm just another one of your puppets being manipulated by the strings controlling my every movement from my facial expression misery sings deep down inside I am resistant when in reality I have no choice I want so bad to be heard but I don't have a voice you keep inhaling my words that I'm suffocating to release I didn't rent a theater so tell me who signed the lease? I'm so exhausted from singing and dancing in distress every single fucking night I can never seem to rest I'm unsure of the point that you're trying to make but I can no longer hold my balance I'm about to break free me of this torture tell me what I did to deserve this penalty can't you see that my heart is bleeding I'm already paying little fees give me some credit cut me some slack honesty is what I give loyalty is what you lack now you're putting on a show with me as the opening act that shit is degrading I don't represent that not speaking from fiction I'm speaking from fact By Glenn McCrary © 2010 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
