Lights up, the show's begun
Danger's dancing in the sky
There's no time to say goodbye
Smoke, fire, tricks and lies
People gambling with your life
Freaks and clowns, blood and knives
I'm the star of the spree
I'm the joke, can't you see?
They're holding all the strings
I'm just a puppet in the show
We wear the mask, bend the knee
Blind to chains you cannot see
Secrets dark we've learned to keep
Running deep, silent plea
They make me want to dance
They make me want to glow
They're holding all the strings
I'm just a puppet in the show
