Description
Girls like china dolls are laughing all around, and I
Moving closer, also open up my mouth
But ugly, poison words
Are all that ever tumbles out

I can be as cute and perfect as the other girls
Or at least that's what I thought of them at first
Turns out it's just a show
They are a lying breed, you know

And all the gentle folks I thought I knew are gone, they're gone
They're gone, they're gone, they're gone
With broken heart, I found that I can trust no one, no one
No one, no one, no one

Hide my insecurity and you won't find it here
Join the grinning multitudes from ear to ear
Acting like they're laughing so no one can see them cry
But you can see it clearly in their eyes
So don't you try to take a look at mine

No one trusts their right hand to be steady anymore, you see
And the left hand is so strange and clumsy
They stumble through their day
As if they're held on puppet strings

Wonder what to do today to please the ones I answer to?
Which unlucky girl's whole day should I undo?
Don't think or feel or fret
I'm just a poor marionette

And now they have my mind, I just can't seem to stop myself
It's like I'm someone else
Because I'm on their lines, the future that's within my sight
It isn't very bright

The face within the mirror that's reflected back at me
Laughs at all your sorrow and ignominy
Quickly wipe away the tears that seep into my smile
And keep on wandering into their guile

Countless strings attach to me and they cannot be cut
Life is just a factory and we're all stuck
You can try to run or hide, but nothing will change
The puppet strings'll get you all the same
Oh God, just strike me down and let me break
