Mankind Is Obsolete Puppet
And you can play the games
And you can speak the words
But when the motion’s not enough,
What will you let speak for you?
Don’t want to follow
Don’t want to be
Another nameless, faceless, dreamer lost at sea
And yet I’m here like everyone,
Waiting in line for something more
They say that time will bring conclusion,
But that’s not what I’m living for
Because I’m not some puppet anymore
And I won’t follow anymore
I’ve left these games for something more
I’m not some puppet anymore
I’m not some puppet anymore
And I won’t follow anymore
I’ve left these games for something more
I’m not some puppet anymore
Running circles just to move somewhere
Feeling numb, cuz I’ve given everything
But I don’t know who I can blame
When I don’t know who pulls my puppet strings
Don’t want to follow
Don’t want to be
Another nameless, faceless, dreamer lost at sea
And yet I’m here like everyone,
Waiting in line for something more
They say that time will bring conclusion,
But that’s not what I’m living for
Because I’m not some puppet anymore
And I won’t follow anymore
I’ve left these games for something more
I’m not some puppet anymore
Don’t want to be in this mediocre place again
I’m tearing down my walls now
Of all the things that’s held me here
Its time to rise, it’s time to fall
Defeat the chains, defeat it all
I’m going to live my life again
I’m going to live my life again
I’m going to live my life again
Because I’m not some puppet anymore
And I won’t follow anymore
I’ve left these games for something more
I’m not some puppet anymore
I’m not some puppet anymore
And I won’t follow anymore
Not some puppet anymore
More Than What I Am
How many times have I sat here,
Waiting with my pen,
Trying to continue?
And the words that won’t come out
Find their way into my head
With the visions I see
When I close my eyes to dream
I can’t fly
And I can’t begin
Cuz I can’t be more than what I am
How can I rise
From this life that I’m in,
If I can’t be more than what I am?
How many hours have I lay here,
Trying to forget a world that still continues?
And each moment that’s slipped
From my life into a dream
Takes me further away
From the me that I have seen
I can’t fly
And I can’t begin
Cuz I can’t be more than what I am
How can I rise
From this life that I’m in,
If I can’t be more than what I am?
Give me truth and life with meaning
Give me true words that I believe, that I believe
(Singing, singing, wordless music, empty lullabies
Singing, singing, wordless music, empty lullabies)
I can’t fly
And I can’t begin
Cuz I can’t be more than what I am
How can I rise
From this life that I’m in,
If I can’t be more than what I am?
