Collector's Edition - Puppet on a String

Ooo, where the sun will shine, I'll be there, I'll be smiling
Ohh, when I realize, there's blue in the sky

I'm trippin', I'm fallin', I'm searchin', I'm lookin' for a higher road
A cure to his this ailment, hell-bent, on keepin' me in the bottom four
But I'm breakin' my lease, but I bout to be a beast, all out exposed
You'll feel how I feel, bein' real like I'm real, then you'll see that the deals that I'm feelin' shit
And even I sell my soul for my kids and act like I'm old when I'm getting broke in
Travelin' on the road that no one knows in, hopes to be the next Amerigo

But I'm blind leading blind, a dreamer in a nightmare, brave or stupid, but who cares
As long as I bring home a little bit of cash, marry someone black, and keep up this act

You'll watch me fallin', and laugh as I climb to my feet
prefer me broken, I'm just your entertainment

You'll watch me fallin', and laugh as I climb to my feet
prefer me broken, I'm just your entertainment

I'm Like a puppet on a string, string, string, string
We are puppets on a string

Like a puppet on a string, string, string, string
We are puppets on a string

I've been played in every way possible
Biggest obstacle, that being me
Lived and died in the shadows
A black hole, turned into salt by the sack full

'Cause I refused to turn my back on the past
Wouldn't move forward unless we moved in a mass
Till I woke up one morning alone
And I guess the world had moved on

So I stood up, fed up
Realized I had to get up
And face the fact that I'd walk alone
With a million eyes watching from home

But they would offer no advice
Helping hand water on ice
Just watch me die with no remorse
'Cause I'm entertainment and nothing more

You'll watch me fallin', and laugh as I climb to my feet
prefer me broken, I'm just your entertainment

You'll watch me fallin', and laugh as I climb to my feet
prefer me broken, I'm just your entertainment

I'm Like a puppet on a string, string, string, string
We are puppets on a string

Like a puppet on a string, string, string, string
We are puppets on a string

Someday, when the world finally realized that I am
I'm human

When all the glitz and the glamour fades away and they realize they can laugh with me and talk with me and sit beside me and see that in reality, you and I are the same
I'm not just that toy, that icon, that image, that untouchable
I'm still human
I'm getting older

I'm not just some puppet on a string
