lyrics

Puppet Boy
You know you'll save the world one day
You'll get the girl
And all your problems will melt away
They pull your strings too hard
Just tell them that it's okay
Cause you and I both know you've got plenty left to say

Puppet Boy
You feel your body is not your own
You aren't in control
You're nothing but skin and bones
I'm here to tell you
That you aren't another clone
You are a real boy
That's just hiding from the unknown

The sun has gone black
And now it's getting cold
You start to wonder
How you got so old
You waste your life
Just doing what you're told
It's too late now
You're covered up in mold

Puppet Boy
You know we love all the things you do
Even though sometimes
It'll make you feel rather blue
It'll never go away
There'll always be something
But keep your chin up kid
You'll never stop being you

The sun has gone black
And now it's getting cold
You start to wonder
How you got so old
You waste your life
Just doing what you're told
It's too late now
You're covered up in mold

Puppet Boy
You know you'll save the world one day
You'll get the girl
And all your problems will melt away
They pull your strings too hard
Just tell them that it's okay
Cause you and I both know you've got plenty left to say

Puppet Boy
You know you'll save the world one day
You'll get the girl
And all your problems will melt away
They pull your strings too hard
Just tell them that it's okay
Cause you and I both know you've got plenty left to say
