I wake up My eyes half shut Getting ready To be erased again These shackles They keep tightening Waiting here I fade away Days blend into the same old gray Keep seeking hues that are already dead A puppet with no lines to say Drifting around, I fade away A hollow vessel, an empty shell Yearning freedom, I just wanna run away And be myself I have no choices, I lack a voice A captive bird, my wings clipped and bound To this jail My muffled cries die in the dark I'm a puppet in a theater of despair Where no one hears How I fade away I wake up My eyes half shut Getting ready To be erased again These shackles They keep tightening Waiting here I fade away Days blend into the same old gray Keep seeking hues that are already dead A puppet with no lines to say Drifting around, I fade away
