Puppet On A String

from Obelisk by Dying Pharaohs

/

lyrics

is this a sign that I'm falling behind?
wasting time
am i losing my mind?
so unkind
theres no reason no rhyme
nevermind
couldn’t see I was blind

in 93 I was an offspring
couldn’t afford a diamond ring
had to undergo my rites of spring
I was a puppet on a string

I used to think I was worth nothing
found out I was something
everyone told me I was worthless
now I realize they weren’t anything

for years I was a plaything
mocked and laughed at for every single thing
I was criticized for being me
it stung like a bee sting
wanted to flee to Beijing
in the choir I learned to sing
