Puppets Can't Control You

Beat me, break me down, but I'm still standing

Picking pieces off the ground again

If one day I fall, just hope I stick the landing

Not at the gates screaming to let me in

But I don't know where to start

Damned if I do, it's way too late to fix it

I'll be damned if I don't get rid of my existence

And I said "damn", 'cause you gotta try, even if you never win

You can't pretend, you'll never be out there again

Clip his wings, he don't deserve the halo

I'm losing faith in everyone again

If the TV stations tell their lies on cable

Then we're so blind that we'll be tuning in

But I don't know where to start

Damned if I do, it's way too late to fix it

I'll be damned if I don't get rid of my existence

And I said "damn", 'cause you gotta try, even if you never win

You can't pretend, you'll never be out there

Holding on to nothing till it turns into something

Don't like who I'm becoming, I can't keep running

Searching for an answer, re-reading every chapter

There's no happy ever after when it's over

Damned if I do, it's way too late to fix it

I'll be damned if I don't get rid of my existence

And I said "damn", 'cause you gotta try, even if you never win

You can't pretend, you'll never be out there again
