Mary O’ Nett

[Verse 1]
ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET, THIS IS THE BEGINNING
IT’S OPENING NIGHT AND YOU'RE ON DISPLAY
THE CAMERAS ARE ROLLING, YOU HAVE THEIR ATTENTION
YOU'RE READY TO SHOW THEM ALL WHAT YOU CAN DO
BUT WHO IS REALLY PULLING YOUR STRINGS?
PULLING YOUR STRINGS
THE PUPPETRY SO ELEGANT
YOU THINK THEY'LL NEVER KNOW

[Lift]
The curtains drawn, their eyes on you
And you stand there waiting silently for your cue
THEY'RE ALL HERE WAITING FOR YOU

[Chorus]
Will you cut the strings from your wrists?
Or will you get caught up in them?
I doubt you know who you are
Know who you are
You speak with two tongues
And you fool everyone that's around you
One to pull you in and one to make you run

[Verse 2]
SO SEAMLESSLY YOU SEPARATE YOURSELF
FROM EVERYTHING YOU USED TO BE
YOU'RE JUST A FAKE
You're playing the role of a lifetime
BABY
You always wanted the world
I see straight through your bullshit
To be watching your every MOVE

[Lift]
The curtains drawn, their eyes on you
And you stand there waiting silently for your cue
THEY'RE ALL HERE WAITING FOR YOU

[Chorus]
Will you cut the strings from your wrists?
Or will you get caught up in them?
I doubt you know who you are
Know who you are
You speak with two tongues
And you fool everyone that's around you
One to pull you in and one to make you run

[Breakdown]
THE CURTAINS FLY OPEN
And you're blinded by the LIGHT
As they blankly stare THE COLOUR QUICKLY FLEES YOUR FACE
AND YOU REALISE
YOU'RE JUST A FUCKING JOKE TO THEM

[Outro]
THE CURTAIN CLOSES
THE SHOW IS OVER
YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED
THE LIES YOU TOLD TO GET THERE
AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU STOLE
