No emotion No expression Living mask of death reflection Pantomime a social construct Who is it you serve Apathetic empathy Just smile and nod First in line to be Strung Just like a marionette Suspended by the audience Writhe How can you refuse You live and die to keep the world amused So pathetic This social grace Scatological Feeding on the waste This party's septic There's no escape To climb the ladder You must fall Strung Just like a marionette Suspended by the audience Writhe How can you refuse You live and die to keep the world amused Too beautiful to know Too cynical to care Ironic is your lifestyle Put the drama in despair Little white lies shining bright as a fallen star Drama queen The party is done Strung Just like a marionette Suspended by the audience Writhe How can you refuse You live and die to keep the world amused Pull their strings Good for nothing Pull their strings Good for nothing
