Make Me Laugh More, Puppet

Can you feel the strings?
I’m pulling you along for the ride.
Can you feel them tug
At your emotions?

Can you feel the strings?
I’ll raise your anger,
And lower your respect
For everyone.

Can you feel the strings?
They’re tied to your heart,
Your mind,
Your stomach.

Can you feel the strings?
Can you see me being happy?
I’m fucking happy.
Can you feel that knife of disappointment?

Can you feel these strings?
They’re choking you blind.
Can you feel these strings?
They’re taking away

Everything.
