Lyrics

Why do you need control?
What is it scares you so much
That you only feel whole
When you command my every action?
This is not who I am,
There’s so much I will be,
Once I cut through the strings
That bind our fates; my heart you’ll never see

Then I feel those strings, tighten.
You want to play your marionette.
All the things you do brighten
This flame you’ve not dowsed yet

I’ll be free of you,
I will live my own life
Far away from all your pain.
I will dance again,
I will feel rapture
You could not begin to comprehend

In that workshop of your mind
You think love can be built,
How could you be so blind
To not understand the interaction?
This is not who we are,
I just need to be free
Once I cut through the strings
That bind our fates; my heart you’ll never see

Then I feel those strings, tighten.
You want to play your marionette.
Everything you do frightens
This spirit that’s still strong yet

I’ll be free of you,
I will live my own life
Far away from all your pain.
I will dance again,
I will feel rapture
You could not begin to comprehend

Something in my heart darkens
You want to play your marionette.
Then I feel those strings, tighten
A pain I can’t forget

I’ll be free of you,
I will live my own life
Far away from all your pain.
I will dance again,
I will feel rapture
You could not begin to comprehend
